The Pan American Championships are underway. Yesterday, three sets of medals were awarded.

 finished 1-2-3 in the team event. Canada had the bronze medal in the bag, but disappointing routines with the ribbon killed their chances. This is pretty much what happened last year: stellar routines with hoop, ball and clubs, and then a total meltdown with the ribbon. It must be frustrating for Canadian gymnasts. Laura Zeng (USA), Marina Malpica (MEX) and Natália Gaudio (BRA) were the medalists in the all-around competition.

 

In the group all-around event,  took gold with a spectacular routine in 5 hoops (19.800) and a great routine with balls and ropes (18.400).  had two great performances (19.000 and 18.400) and took silver.  had a spectacular routine in 5 hoops (19.800) and a not quite spectacular routine with balls and ropes (16.500), earning the bronze medal.

 

Today we'll have event finals.
