The Chinese men won the team final today at Worlds. Silver went to Japan and Bronze to Germany. The British men finished 7th, as did the women yesterday.Tomorrow is the all-around finals day and also a big day in skating with the first day of NHK. As I won't be in lectures I may actually get a chance to report on both of these!
One other bit of news (or hot gossip perhaps) was this piece from an article by inside gymnastics.
USA National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi has announced that she will retire from her position following the 2012 Olympic in London. We caught up with Karolyi here and asked her,
“Who do you think might be able to fulfill that role?” Here’s what she had to say… “You are trying to squeeze it out of me? Yes? (Laughs) Well I don’t know, but my personal opinion is that Valeri (Liukin) definitely would be a good person.”
Well- if he want's the job, there aren't many who would deny him it. Valeri and the team at WOGA have produced an impressive stream of olympic and world class gymnasts. Not least his daughter Nastia and Rebecca Bross who will try to win her first world all-around title tomorrow evening.The BBC broadcasting times for tomorrow's events are-
13.00-15.00 BBC2 - hilights of the team competition
15.00-18.00 Red Button - Men's AA
19.00 - 21.00 BBC3 - Women's AA
They will also be broadcasting the event finals over the weekend.
