I figured it deserved its own thread. Starts in 47 minutes (12 PM PT, 1 PM MT, 2 PM CT, 3 PM ET). Anyone tuning in?
Stupid question: Does Shirai only compete 2 events?
And go Japan.
Yes!
I thought I saw somewhere that he was the 2016 national AA silver medalist, but that probably was someone else, then.
Also, did someone on the Ukrainian team get injured?
He's the national AA silver medalist IIR. The Ukrainian team decided to forfeit the TF to give their star gymnast (sorry don't remember his name) more chance at several individual events.
So that's why they're only putting up 2 people on every event? :scratch:
Been following this from the start on BBC 4, and switched over to BBC 1, I think. Great stuff. Bit too much focus on team GB, obviously, but good commentary, so I won't complain, plus, they really are good.
I still want Japan to win, though!
I'm starting to watch now - what happened to China?
