Almost Time.

I've been keeping fairly quiet this week as Gym Examiner, Gymnastics Coaching and The Couch Gymnast have been providing great live coverage direct from the venue in Tokyo. Anything I write would be regurgitated.

The ladies have completed podium training and the general consensus is that USA and China look the most competition ready (but never count Russia & Romania out!) The men's podium training takes place today and tomorrow, followed by 4 days of all-important olympic qualification.

If you haven't already - visit Full Twist for the full and detailed competition schedule.
Fri 7th (WAG) including Romania, Australia, Canada
Sat 8th (WAG) including China, USA, Russia, GB & Japan
Sun 9th (MAG) including USA, Japan, Germany
Mon 10th (MAG) including GB, France, China, Korea, Russia.
In all cases some of the 'favourite' countries are late in the draw meaning nothing can be known for sure until all teams have competed

I'll be back from Friday with my own coverage and analysis....
