team Japan Q & A on twitter
Ryohei: (About the way they got on the podium) we longed for Athene and we mimiced it, but we was not able to do well since it was the first time and felt a bit of emparassement. https://twitter.com/Tokyo2020jp/status/763709489799434240

About the condition of Uchimura, he's appered on TV now with his team mate now. He says he doesnt want to give up the floor as long as there is a possibility of medal. Anyway it seems it's not certain if he'll do.

Haha so that's what they were practicing before they stepped on the podium. Well here's their Athens moment

I think they did a good job. (both gifs made by me)

Who are you looking forward to in the App finals?
Kenzo for Floor
Oleg for Pbars
Max for Pommels
Hambuchen for HB
Vault???

Floor = Twist Prince
Vault = Twist Prince

Kohei would've won HB without a doubt. :-(

Baseball Mascot Doala tried to imitate Kouhei but

Kohei would've won HB without a doubt. :-(

I know Kenzo's in the final but he's not really a top contender yet because his second vault has low D. who was the top qualifier?

Twist Prince are not here but the photo is nice.

This Konami SC has many pictures of them that all look good :thumbsup:

I guess Konami is just waiting for Kenzo to graduate before snapping him up for their club.

Oh, I forget that he only does that Kasamatsu with 3/2 twists. Unless he actually does the Yurchenko with 7/2 twists instead of the triple...but that's risky to do. Ri Se-gwang was the leader, followed by Abliazin (both 0.2-ish over Kenzo).

Ri Se Gwang. Denis Ablyazin and Marian Dragulescu could be in the mix.

Thanks. I mean "they look nice in the photo". Not implying anything bad on Kenzo. (my lack of words )

 

[hamaguri]

Cant wait App! Team and indivisual events are always bad for my heart. But i can enjoy App like a spectacle show by specialists.
Espeically, Kenzo:Floor and Hambuchen:HB!

 

[hamaguri]

I think this too. Taller and leaner guys are better for pommel horse. Takehiro Kashima comes to mind who, imo, had some of the best style and elegance on that apparatus ever.

Now i watach the video of Athene. Love Kashima's style. his physique really make his refined performance look more elegant!

Dragulescu isn't really a top contender, I would say. He can get a medal but gold? That's going to be very hard.

He said he's going to do a harder jump he's been training to have a shot at gold. He calls it Dragulescu 2. Whether he'll do it or not, I've no idea. But that jump is the main reason why he came back.

Oh, I completely forgot about that!!

The Yuri van Gelder soap is officially over and done with. He lost his fight in court to be allowed to return to Rio and compete in the Rings final. He was sent home early this week after having been out all night, drinking, and not upholding the team standards.
It's a bit of a shame, because I kinda enjoyed the drama these past couple of days; it's been BIG in the news here.
For Van Gelder, I'm thinking this may well have been the end of his career.
But it's time to focus on what's really important. Epke Zonderland will defend his gold medal in high bar.

It's a handspring double front with full turn.
