Tweet I’m really loving this video that AT & T have out up on their website. It follows the USA Men’s and Women’s Teams to Rotterdam and back. Nicely put together and not too long to lose interest. Watch the video here

Tweet As previously posted, Daniel Keatings was part of the commentary team for the BBC’s coverage of the World Gymnastics Championships in October. I really think he did a great job.  He seems like a really genuine guy and very nice. In his latest blog post on the Opus Energy Challenge website, Daniel discusses what he calls “The Most Successful Team GB Ever”.

Daniel really had a busy time in Rotterdam, as well as offering support to his Team mates he was part of the delegation who were presenting their bid …

Tweet Shannon Miller was recently interviewed by Gym Power about her thoughts on the World Championships in Rotterdam. I did see during the World Championships that Miller was busy endorsing new social network GymnastSpotlight.com. I had been meaning to take a look at it but the Worlds were just far too exciting, coincidentally the website is working for me at the moment.

On World Champion Aliya Mustafina:
What in an incredible talent. Mustafina reminds me a lot of myself (although i believe she is much more talented). She doesn’t take …

Tweet A great new article from BBC Sport’s Ollie Williams. At the weekend he posted this picture of the Chinese Women’s Coach “being grilled” by the media as to why the Chinese Women wouldn’t be bringing home any gold medals from Worlds, the first time this has happened since 2002. It’s easy to say, duh, Huang and Kexin fell from the bars in the Individual Apparatus Finals and almost handed Beth Tweddle the World title.

Ollie discusses how gymnastics in China is perceived, age falsification, China’s response on being beaten …

Tweet As Rick posted yesterday, the British Press are CRAZY for the members of the Great British Worlds Team at the moment. Every time I sign into my Google reader there’s numerous posts about the gymnasts who represented Great Britain at the World Championships, mostly about medal winners Louis Smith, Beth Tweddle and Dan Purvis.

If you’ve missed some of the stories and interviews since the gymnasts won their medals, here’s some below.

Tweet I really really love what the USA Media Team have done for this years World Championships, interviewing all of the gymnasts after competition. I hope it catches on and the likes of British Gymnastics take it up too! They’ve uploaded one or two new interviews since Worlds finished.

It’s great to see Rebecca Bross smiling in the interview below.

Tweet After the conclusion of the World Championships on Sunday, we posted about the fact that both Aliya Mustafina and Tatiana Nabieva’s Vaults in the Vault Event Finals were devalued and also both girls incurred a 0.1 penalty. Gymnastics Coaching kindly linked to our post and this began a discussion in the comments on his website.
The numerous comments concluded that the vaults were downgraded as they were in a piked position as opposed to gaining full marks for proper layout position:
Jason:
In terms of the devalue of the 2 russians …

Tweet Since there’s been so many videos coming up online of the World Championships, it makes sense to combine them in the one post. It’s fantastic that people are taking the time out to do this. I won’t even list what user has what video up because some of them have gone to a huge amount of effort to put so many videos up. Thanks to all for your effort and kindness for doing so.

Tweet Gimnastas.net asks on Twitter:

“this” being the revised May edition of the WAG Helpdesk (a PDF document to help clarify & give examples of different rules in the FIG WAG Code of Points). The Helpdesk on page 36 of 61 states:

Gimnastas says that the Code of Points also states that in order to get the value for a twisting element you have to complete the rotations and that there are piked saltos with over 180º turn listed in the COP. Gimnastas feels that they shouldn’t have published that on …
