TART CUP PARTICIPANTS:

The Czech Republic pairing of Jana Sikulova and Martin Konecny triumphed at the 2013 Sokol Grand Prix de Gymnastique which was held on the 23rd of November in Brno, Czech Republic. The Ukrainian pair of Olena Vasylieva and Maksym Semiankiv finished second with Dorina Boczogo (HUN) and Filip Ude (CRO) combining to finish third.

After the first round, Vasylieva/Semiankiv were ranking first over Boczogo/Ude with Sikulova/Konecny sitting in third. After the top eight teams moved onto the Semi-Final, Vasylieva and Semiankiv remained on top with Austrians Elisa Haemmerle and Michael Fussenegger moving into second with Sikulova/Konecny in third. Martin Konecny produced an exceptional routine on the Horizontal Bar (arguably one of his best events) to seal the title for himself and Jana Sikulova.

The Sokol Grand Prix de Gymnastique takes place on the 23rd of November with competition getting underway at the Sportovni Hall at 4.30pm (Brno local time). Competing as "couples" the competition is divided into three rounds. All couples compete in the first round with the gymnasts each competing on two apparatuses each. After the conclusion of the round, the eight teams with the highest combined scores move on to the next round, where each gymnast will compete on a third apparatus. The results from the first round do not carry forward. At the end of this second round, the top four ranked teams move onto the Final. In this Final, each gymnast of the pairing competes on one event - the Women are allowed to pick which of the four apparatuses they will compete on, whilst the fourth apparatus for the Men is to be one they have yet to compete on during the day. Six gymnasts in the field for this year competed last year - a competition that was won by Ukrainians Maksym Semiankiv and Mariya Livchikova.

The Sokol Brno Grand Prix took place on the 10th of November at the Sportovni Hala TJ Sokol Brno I in the Czech Republic. The competition, which is a Mixed Pairs event, similar to that of the Swiss Cup which was held in Zurich earlier this month. All pairs competed in the first two rounds choosing two different apparatuses each, with the pair with lowest combined total being eliminated after the qualification. Remaining pairs then competed in the Semi Final, with each team member competing on one event each with their scores added once more. At the end of the round, the top four teams advance to the Final where once again they competed on one event each. At the conclusion of the competition, the highest scoring team was declared the winner. 

This year, Ukrainians Mariya Livchikova and Maksym Semiankiv were triumphant, with the pairing of Kristyna Palesova of the Czech Republic and Ignacio Losantos of Spain coming in second. In third place was Jana Sikulova (Czech Republic) and Mark Ramseier (Switzerland).

On the Seventh Day of Christmas, Gymnastics Brought to Me: A Czech Republic Superstar!!

The Men are warming up on the Floor and the Women on the Vault. Seems to be a lot of white in the Women's leotards. Loving the music playing... haven't heard these songs in ages!!  Medal ceremony taking what seems like forever to begin!! A couple of quick notes... how adorable is Oleg Stepko... he seems tiny compared to the other guys on the Floor podium (Behan and Likhovitskiy)! Love Volha Makhautsova's leotard - white with what seems to be silver detailing - absolutely stunning! Teja Belak was wearing a lovely black leotard with sparkles on the top half with red sleeves. Maksyuta, Pihan-Kulesza and Palesova were wearing leotards that we have seen on the World Cup circuit before, but which I absolutely adore!!! And Dancose-Giambattisto was wearing a lovely Canadian leotard (Yes I am a huge Canadian gym fan!!). Stay tuned later on today for the remaining finals. 


I'm back!! Pretty sure it's a tie between Poland and Czech Republic for who gets the loudest cheers!! Well down to winners Valeriia Maksiuta of Israel who added a Beam gold to her medal collection,  and Spaniard Fabian Gonzalez who took the Men's Vault title. Ukraine's Angelina Kysla won the Floor title, whilst Hiroyuki Imai of Japan took the Parallel Bars title and Belarussian Aliaksandr Tsarevich rocked the Horizontal Bar honours.

I've come into the Live Stream what I am thinking is a third of the way through? And I will try to get scores as soon as they come up. NB: Unfortunately I had to go to a couple of meetings and a gymnastics practice of my own, but here are the full Qualification results. Well done to all gymnasts. Nice range of top qualifiers - for the women, Israel's Valeriia Maksiuta topped scored over the two Belarussians on the Vault, whilst Marta Pihan-Kulesza of Poland topped the Uneven Bars qualification. Poland's Katarzyna Jurkowska tied with Ukrainian superstar Yana Demyanchuk for the highest score on the Beam and Ukrainian up-and-comer Angelina Kysla rocked the Floor Exercise field. For the Men, Greek star Eleftherios Kosmidis tied with Irish star Kieran Behan for top on the Floor; Slovenian Saso Bertoncelj topped the Pommel Horse field whilst Eleftherios Petrounias (Greece) ruled the Still Rings qualification.
