Gymmin' Miel!

So I missed out on the first part of today's competition but here is what I have missed... Spain's Rayderley Miguel Zapata Santana won the Men's Floor Exercise final over Germany's Fabian Hambuechen with David Belyavskiy of Russia picking up the bronze. Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber captured the Vault honors over Russia's Seda Tutkhalyan with the Netherlands' Lisa Top finishing in third. Pommel Horse specialist Saso Bertoncelj of Slovenia topped Oleg Stepko of Azerbaijan and Great Britain's Brinn Bevan for the title.

Red 1/2 sleeved leo with silver diamantes for Noemi Makra. Not her best routine. Blue bottom, red sleeves with orange and white flamey patterning separating the two main colors for Celine van Gerner. An okay routine but she lands on the bar. Beautiful blue and white leotard for Sophie Scheder. Oleg Verniaiev takes a number of steps backwards and sits down on his Rings dismount. Black and yellow leotard with diamantes for Andreea Iridon. Solid. Red leotard with diamantes for Aliya Mustafina - great routine! Tea Ugrin is wearing a sleeveless white, red and blue leotard. Has a couple of problems. Mustafina wins the title by 0.2 points from Sophie Scheder of Germany. Romanian Iridon picks up the bronze. On the Still Rings, Greece's Eleftherios Petrounias wins the title over Russia's Nikita Ignatyev and Turkey's Ibrahim Colak.

Stunning deep purple leotard with diamantes for Dutchwoman Lieke Wevers. Iridon almost falls off during her first turn sequence, has a few balance checks. Red leotard with diamantes for Seda Tutkhalyan. Nasty fall off the beam on her first acro series. Quite shaky during the remainder of her routine. Patriotic red leotard with the white crosses for Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber. Few bobbles throughout her routine. Simple red, blue and white leo for Georgina Hockenhull. Fall on her acro series. Solid routine for Scheder puts her hands down on the beam to steady herself. Ukraine's Oleg Verniaiev earns the Vault title with Dutchman Casimir Schmidt winning the silver and Oleg Stepko earning the bronze. Great beam routine from Wevers! Wevers takes the honors over Andreea Iridon and Giulia Steingruber.

Lovely leotard for Belgium's Lisa Verschueren. I'm going to call in a coral leotard (although it really isn't but my brain is just not functioning!) with light blue for France's Valentine Pikul. Solid routine for Verschueren. Messy Parallel Bars routine from Turkey's Ferhat Arican. It was a nice routine from Mustafina but I don't personally believe that it had the same spark we usually see. Maybe Pikul's leotard is a flesh color? MASSIVE score from Stepko!! Rough routine on Parallel Bars for Verniaiev. Solid routine from Wevers. Romanian Silvia Zarzu - out of bounds second pass and massive jump backwards on final pass. Change of leo for Steingruber - black, light blue and white. The crowd goes crazy after Stepko wins the Parallel Bars title over Russia's David Belyavskiy and Romania's Marius Daniel Berbecar whilst Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber wins the Floor Exercise title over Aliya Mustafina and Lieke Wevers.

Great routine on the Horizontal Bar from Greece's Vlasios Maras. On my next break I plan to get more acquainted with MAG. It will happen. With a phenomenal routine Germany's Fabian Hambuechen takes the title over Maras with Nikita Ignatyev earning the bronze.

Competition began in the Women's Artistic Gymnastics discipline yesterday at the National Gymnastics Arena. Day One saw them compete on the Vault and Uneven Bars with the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise taking place today. The Team medalists will also be decided at the conclusion of today's competition. The top 18 gymnasts (1 per country) will be qualified to the All Around Final with the top 6 on each event (1 per country) will be qualified to the Event Finals. In terms of the Team competition, all three Gymnasts are able to compete on each event with the top two scores counting towards the team total. 

I started watching Day One's competition but had other commitments so only watched the first couple of subdivisions. Here's a leotard recap of the morning's subdivisions! Beautifully simply blue leotard with white stripes from the British women, which has diamantes patterning on the front. Mostly green leotard with white and yellow swirls for the Ukrainian contingent. Emerald green and black leotard with diamantes for the Russians, whilst Croatia is wearing a blue leotard with white and a bit of red in there too. Red and black separated by white for the Dannish gymnasts. Another maroony bottomed, black? topped leotard for the Belarussian with white around the sleeves and across the top. Black leotard with blue sleeves for the ladies from Greece but my favorite leotard thus far would have to be Azerbaijan's!! Lovely to see the Greek gymnasts helping the other two gymnasts in their group chalk the bars.

After Day One the Russian's occupy the top three spots in the All Around competition, however only one will qualify to the All Around final (Aliya Mustafina leads over Victoria Komova with Seda Tutkhalyan in third). Germany's Sophie Scheder and Elisabeth Seitz are currently tied for fourth. Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber is the top qualifier to the Vault Final with Tutkhalyan and Dutchwoman Lisa Top rounding out the top three. Mustafina earned the high marks on the Uneven Bars with Germany's Sophie Scheder qualifying with the second highest score. Scheder's higher execution score (by 0.1) saw her pip compatriot Seitz for a place in the final. In terms of the Team Final standings, at the halfway mark Russia leads over Germany and Hungary.

Loving the red variation of the British Women's leotard. Red with the white stripes down the side and diamantes on the front with glittery red mesh sleeves. 3/4 deep purple top of the leotard with one sleeve deep purple and the other with part purple/part pink with the rest of the leotard pink and very sparkly for Ukraine. I think I much prefer Ukraine's day one leotard but this one is quite nice. Am loving the elegant red leotard with white swirl which has diamante in it for the Danish women. Belarus' leotard is extremely shiny... red with a lot of blingy patterning. Patriotic white , blue and red leotard for the Russians with diamantes. Lovely leotard for the Croatians. Red with one deep red shoulder and silver swirls with diamantes for Hungary. Love, love, love Azerbaijan's leotard. light blue and white with swirls and diamantes. Lots of bling today. Oooo love the Greek leo... black mesh, silver and a stunning blue! Germany is is a lovely purple leotard with silver patterning and bling. Stunning white leotard with red patterning and diamantes for Switzerland. One orange sleeve and one white with some black - elegant looking for the Dutch ladies. An elegant black with white and diamantes for Spain. The Romanians are in an elegant red, blue and white leotard. Love Aleksandra Rajcic's leotard (gorgeous blue and white with diamantes). Gorgeous blue leotard for Tutya Yilmaz. Bulgaria's red and white with patriotic swirls is quite lovely. So much love for the Italian leotard. Lovely white leotard with red sleeves and top with gorgeous red patterning. Elegant leotard for France (white top and sleeves, red bottom, with sparkles and ribbons). Black leotard with what seems like neon orange top for the Czech Republic. Patriotic and elegant leotard for Belgium, whilst the Iceland gymnasts are wearing a lovely deep blue with diamantes. Yellow and black with a white swirl for Latvia. Black with diamantes and lines in the Irish national colors for Ireland. Simplistic and elegant leotard for Austria. Red sleeves with black separated by white explosion patterning for Norway. 

And it is official!! Russia wins the Team Title over Germany and the Netherlands! Mustafina is the highest qualifier to the All Around Final. Seda Tutkhalyan is the highest qualifier to the Beam final whilst on the Floor Exercise Aliya Mustafina topped Silvia Zarzu of Romania and Lieke Wevers of the Netherlands.
