FIG CHANNEL VIDEO & WORLDS NEWS!

A few videos have popped up from yesterday's action in the Yoyogi Stadium.


Lozza Mitchell. 14.391. I hate this routine


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O4LTUHYwCQ

Highlights from Romania's performance. Messy triple from Cata and an incomplete from Haidu
Surprisingly clean vault from Racea but I feel for Bulimar, she's too small. Lush dismount though





Larissa Miller on Bars. 14.30. Hopefully she has qualified for finals.










Catalina Ponor. 15.00. Event finalist so far.








Porgy. Out of the finals. Damn, she mucked up on a leap! Oh well?






''We are ready!'' clip






Teaser?






Hopefully more videos will be on their way but I can't guarantee anything.

Worlds Updates!

I think, today, is the last day of podium training? It's day 4 anyway. Here is some of the over-night news.

Mariya Livchikova Hurt?

This first year senior powerhouse Mariya Livchikova is sporting a taped up ankle but was found huddle on the bench next to Anastasiia Koval, The alternate.

Hope this isn't the end of the line, as she recently injured her ankle at the Stella Zakharova Cup.


Reserve Huang Qiushuang is now stepping in for Wu Liufang

The Chinese have decided on this switch for tactical reasons, as they really need Huang’s DTY to vie for the gold here in Tokyo.  They have decided their line-up on vault is insufficient.  This decision is not set in stone, according to the news source, but for now Huang is officially a member.

Two More Americans Down, USA's Team Medal In Smoke?

Following Anna Li's injury, Brestyan's Alicia Sacramone and Alexandra Raisman both went down in practice yesterday. 


Raisman and Sacramone are being evaluated on the ankle as that is where the injury is. Non-travelling alternate Shawn Johnson may have to step but with only 2 days til Qualifying day, Team USA will need to think fast about the decision.



Wednesday 5 October 2011

Li's OUT!

Anna Li, a former collegiate gymnast, has sustained an abdominal injury forcing her to leave the podium and competition. She struggled at Monday's podium training and has missed workouts. 


Li didn't officially withdraw from the team, so could still be used for Team finals.
