The Asian Championships are over. This was the 4th edition of the junior championships, but only the second time ever when senior gymnasts also competed. China, Japan and Uzbekistan only sent gymnasts to compete at the junior division. The women's individual senior competition only had three competitors, and one of them only performed 3 skills and then fell off of the trampoline. This couldn't have been worse for the continent.

The Pan American Championships were concluded today. As expected, Canada dominated the competition with four gold medals and making it to the podium in every event except for women's trampoline team. The biggest surprise of the meet was Argentina, with three gold medals and seven medals overall. Gymnasts from the United States, Brazil and Mexico also earned medals.

Overall, the competition was underwhelming. One of the events, in special, was terrible: the women's trampoline team event. The US got a gold medal because they did not have major mistakes. Argentina had very simple routines which would never challenge for a medal, but since everybody else but the US girls faltered, they got silver. Mexico got bronze even after a terrible score from one of their gymnasts. It was really bad.

Preview:

 

2019 will be the year when China will try hard to regain the top spot in important competitions. 2018 was an important year for Canada, Russia, Belarus and Portugal, and these nations should keep strong in 2018. For the first time ever we will have double mini trampoline events at the World Cup circuit, so it's good news for smaller nations like Sweden, Argentina, South Africa and Spain. Mexico and New Zealand could be the nations that will surprise us this year.

@intoronto Good return to competition for Rosie MacLennan, finishing 18th on qualifications, which is great given the injury that kept her out of Pan Am Games.

 

Currently she and Smith are in second place in synchro qualifications, and with just 6 pairs remaining, she's certain to advance to the final.
