World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
British and European hopes pinned on Daniel Keatings. Of the Americans, Jonathan Horton has the potential for greater scores with Tim Mcneill having that edge of excitement in his performance that carries the audience vote. From Ukraine, Mykola Kusenkov has the purest of technique and real elegance in movement with Russia’s Maxim Devyatovsky capable of demonstrating a massive vault and absolute power, his muscles have muscles. For Great Britain there is a second All Around finalist in Kristian Thomas, British and English Champion and an experienced competitor. He is capable of a big score and today will be looking towards a personal best and lifting his ranking above his qualifying 9th position. He might surprise everyone and split the front runners. Great Britain already has had exceptional Championships, 2 in the All Around Finals and Louis Smith going for Gold in the Pommel Horse finals at the weekend. The other 3 British Gymnasts did themselves and British interests a lot of good. They have shown that in difficulty and competitive ability they are in touch with the rest of the Worlds Best. Theo Seager has an awe-inspiring power that is adrenalin turbo charged. With a little more experience he will bring it all under control and deliver a big result. Daniel Purvis has a talent that has great depths still. He needs now only to be more assertive in performance to win medals. Yevgeny Gryshchenko has waited a long time for his chance to compete for Great Britain and with the ink still drying on his passport needs a few more World Class events to tune into podium performance. His High Bar and Parallel Bars do the business and his Floor when it connects has all that is needed to make a major Finals. |
