Qualification Results - Maribor World Cup

Netherlands Wyomi Masela did not make any finals, having slightly overstretched her knee. Jeffrey Wammes has a slight injury and his participation in the Floor Exercise final is in doubt. Both are minor injuries and they should be fine for the upcoming Dutch National Championships. Slovenia's Teja Belak is the top qualifier for the Vault final, topping Tunde Csillag of Hungary and Tijana Tkalcec of Croatia. Celine Van Gerner of the Netherlands is the highest qualifier on the Uneven Bars, with Ukraine's Yevheniya Cherniy and Marta Pihan-Kulesza of Poland topping the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise respectively. Men's Floor Exercise saw Ukrainian Oleksandr Suprun, Puerto Rican Rafael Morales-Casado and Brazilian Renato Nascimento de Oliveira round out the top three qualifiers. The competition in the Pommel Horse final should be high with European Champion Krisztian Berki winning the qualification by 0.025 over Louis Smith of Great Britain. These two outclassed the rest of the field with Australian Prashanth Sellathurai qualifying in third to the final. Brazilian Still Rings master Arthur Nabarrete Zanetti topped Argentina's Federico Molinari and Oleksandr Vorobiov of Ukraine. Whilst LIN Chaopan lead Puerto Rican Angel Ramos Rivera and Tomi Tuuha of Finland as the highest Vault qualifiers. Slovenia's own Mitja Petkovsek scored the highest mark on the Parallel Bars whilst Epke Zonderland of the Netherlands outclassed the Horizontal Bar field.

Maribor Madness

Okay so I know that the Ghent World Cup isn't over yet.... stay tuned for some Ghent Goodness in a post very shortly, but I thought we would look ahead. The 44th Salamun Memorial Category B World Cup event will take take place at the Sports Hall Ljudski Vrt "Lukna" in Maribor, Slovenia from the 23rd to 25th of September. Being a week or so before the World Championships, most people would argue that this is a depleted field, but personally I cannot wait!!!

We shall get to see on the women's side the Czech stars Kristyna Palesova and Jana Sikulova, as well as Greece's Stefani Bismpikou and Vasiliki Millousi, Bulgarian Ralitsa Mileva, Croatians Tina Erceg and Ruzica Buzov, Egyptians Sherine El Zeiny and Salma Mahmoud El Said Mohamed, Hungary's Laura Gombas, Icelandic gymstars Dominiqua Belanyi and Thelma Hermannsdottir, Qatar's Shaden Wohden and Aljazy Al-Habshi, Slovakia's Maria Homolova and home town favourites Tjasa Kysselef, Adela Sajn, Teja Belak and Fiona Novak.

On the men's side look out for Austria's Alexander Leidlmair and Fabian Leimlehner, Belgium's Jimmy Verbaeys and Thomas Neuteleers, Bulgarian Aleksandar Batinkov, the Chinese men, Croatians Marijo Moznik, Marko Brez, and Tomislav Markovic, Czech men Jindrich Pansky, Martin Konecny and Petr Smejkal, Finland's Sakari Vekki, Juho Kanerva and Markku Leinonen, German's Fabian Hambuechen and Andreas Bretschneider, Greek men Vlasios Maras, Michail Doulkeridis and Eleftherios Petrounias, Hungary's Zoltan Kallai, Ireland's Kieran Behan, Jordan's Ali Al Asi and Jad Mazahreh, the Japanese men, Latvians Jevgenijs Sapronenko and Dmitrijs Trefilovs, Luxembourg's Sascha Palgen, Norway's Marius Wirum Haaverstad, Poland's Roman Kulesza, Marek Lyszczarz, Adam Kierzkowski and Adam Rzepa, Slovakian Samuel Piasecky, Serbian Milos Paunovic, and Slovenia's own Rok Klavora, Aljaz Pegan, Saso Bertoncelj, Ziga Britovsek, Mitja Petkovsek and Alen Dimic.

Updated Maribor World Cup list

AUSTRIA

:
HANNA GROSCH- Vault and Uneven Bars: Was 4th AA at the 2007 Austrian Championships. At the 2007 Ostrava World Cup, she was 4th on floor (11.750) and 7th on the other apparatuses (11.550 BB; 11.850 UB; 12.600 Vault) so far this year Hanna's highest scores on the apparatuses she will be competing are: VAULT: 13.050 and UB: 13.200
JASMIN MADER: Vault and Floor: A junior last year she was 3rd AA at the Atilla Pinter Memorial. This year she has scored a 13.000 on vault and a 13.300 on FX.
KATRINN NUSSBACHER: Balance Beam and Floor: So far this year Kathrin has scored a 13.300 on floor and a 13.450 on beam. At last year's Worlds she was 95th AA (51.050), 151st BB (12.675); 90th FX (13.050) and 125th UB (12.500)
ANDREA RUHLINGER: Uneven Bars and Balance Beam: At last year's World Championships Andrea was 112th AA (49.100), 169th on beam (11.925), 126th on floor (12.550) and 148th on bars (11.700).

BELGIUM

:
GAELLE MYS: ALL 4 EVENTS: This girl is so unique especially on floor - I think it is very refreshing. She had an okay World Championships last year, and was named as an individual to compete in this years's Olympics! At the Belgium vs Finland vs Switzerland Gaelle scored: 13.900 VT, 11.950 UB, 14.000 BB and 13.950 on FX.
AAGJE VANWALLEGHEM : All 4 Events: It would have been really great to Aagje at her 2nd Olympics. She was

Belgium

's first medal winner at a World Cup. At the BEL v FIN v SUI meet Aagje scored a 14.700 on VT, 13.750 UB, 14.650 on BB, and a 14.450 on FX. STILL LISTED ON THE ROSTER!

BRAZIL

:
MILENA MIRANDA: Vault, Uneven Bars and Floor. Milena competed as a Junior in the 13-15 yrs division at the Brazilian Championships in May last year where she was 3rd AA behind Lais Souza and Ana Claudia Silva. At these championships she was 4th on Bars (beating Barbosa who was 7th) and 9th on Beam and 13th on Floor.
JULIANA SANTOS: Vault, Bars and Beam: Juliana was 3rd AA at the 2007 Brazilian National Championships behind Jade Barbosa and Daniele. She came 3rd on Bars, and 2nd on Beam and Floor.

CANADA:
NANSY DAMIANOVA: Vault and floor: Nansy is a very promising gymnast and has had some great meets so far this year. Most recently at the 2008 Pacific Rim Championships Nansy came 5th on vault, 6th on bars and 8th on floor.
ELYSE HOPFNER-HIBBS: Vault, Uneven Bars and Balance Beam: It seems like Elyse has been around for ages!!! In Stuttgart last year for the World Championships, Elyse was 50th AA (55.425), 17th on beam (15.250), 93rd on floor (13.000) and 106th on uneven bars with 13.125. At the recent Doha World Cup, Elyse was 2nd on beam with 15.425 and 3rd on bars with 14.400.
KRISTINA VACULIK: All 4 events (floor): A definite force for this team - Kristina is considered by many to be one of the front-runners for one of two places to represent Canada at the Olympics. She has had quite a busy schedule so far this year with her recent competition being the Pacific Rim where she came 6th AA, 8th on vault, tied for 2nd on Bars with Nastia Liukin and was 6th on beam. Coached by Yelena Davydova
EMMA WILLIS: Bars, Beam and Floor. Emma is a relatively new face on the senior scene and as such won't really make too much of an impact for the Olympic places - perhaps we'll see her in 4 years time although a lot can happen between now and then! At the 2007 Elite Canada meet she was 6th in the Senior AA, 4th on UB and BB and 8th on floor.

COLOMBIA:
NATHALIA SANCHEZ CARDENAS: All 4 events - Nathalia was awarded a place as an individual qualifier for the Olympics this year. At the 2007 World Championships Nathalia was 58th AA (53.625); 76th on Beam (13.875); 96th on floor (12.975) and 75th on uneven bars (13.850)

CZECH REPUBLIC
EVA VERBOVA: Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor: At the 2007 Worlds Eva was 205th All Around with 24.925 scored on 2 events - beam 12.850 (136th) and a 12.075 on floor (156th). At the Ostrava World Cup event she was 2nd on Beam with 12.550.

EGYPT:
SHERINE EL ZEINY: All 4 events: Individual qualifier to the Olympics. At the World Championships in 2007 she was 91st AA (51.350), 99th on beam (13.500), 80th on floor (13.225) and 163rd on bars (11.125).
RAWAN TAREK: Bars, Beam and Floor: Relatively unknown to me, but I look forward to her results.

GREAT BRITAIN:
HANNAH CLOWES: Vault, bars and beam: It's one of those occasions where I love this girls style and technique. At the 2008 Europeans she scored a 14.225 on floor. At the 2007 World Championships Hannah was 52nd AA (55.100), 110th on BB (13.325), 49th on FX (13.825), and 86th UB (13.625). Still listed on the roster.
KAYLEIGH COOKE: Balance Beam and Floor. I watched her floor from the GB v CZE meet in March and I sort of really liked it. She did have a few little mistakes but won the gold on floor and beam at that meet and will value from the exposure and competition.
MARISSA KING: Vault and floor. This girl is one of my favourite gymnasts and is a very powerful worker. She was 1st on vault at the 2007 Glasgow World Cup and that is where we can really see that power in action. At the 2008 Europeans she was 55th AA (3 events) and was 14th on vault (14.475); 19th BB (14.450) and on FX was 34th with 13.700.
IMOGEN CAIRNS: Returning from injury. I am very happy to see this young lady in the line-up! At the 2006 Commonwealth Games she was 4th AA and won the Gold medal in the vault event final. Her first World Championships in Melbourne 2005 she qualified for the vault final and was 8th in the final - the first British woman to qualify for a Vault final. Not on the roster =(

The 4th Maribor World Cup woll be held the 25th to the 27th of April and I thought I would profile and give a list of the recently documented results of these competitors. Please be aware that whilst I remain or try remain unbiased, I do have my favourites.

BELGIUM:
GAELLE MYS: ALL 4 EVENTS: This girl is so unique especially on floor - I think it is very refreshing. She had an okay World Championships last year, and was named as an individual to compete in this years's Olympics! At the Belgium vs Finland vs Switzerland Gaelle scored: 13.900 VT, 11.950 UB, 14.000 BB and 13.950 on FX.
AAGJE VANWALLEGHEM : All 4 Events: It would have been really great to Aagje at her 2nd Olympics. She was Belgium's first medal winner at a World Cup. At the BEL v FIN v SUI meet Aagje scored a 14.700 on VT, 13.750 UB, 14.650 on BB, and a 14.450 on FX. OUT DUE TO INJURY SUSTAINED AT EUROS AND CONSEQUENTIAL SURGERY

KRISTINA VACULIK: All 4 events: A definite force for this team - Kristina is considered by many to be one of the front-runners for one of two places to represent Canada at the Olympics. She has had quite a busy schedule so far this year with her recent competition being the Pacific Rim where she came 6th AA, 8th on vault, tied for 2nd on Bars with Nastia Liukin and was 6th on beam. Coached by Yelena Davydova
EMMA WILLIS: Bars, Beam and Floor. Emma is a relatively new face on the senior scene and as such won't really make too much of an impact for the Olympic places - perhaps we'll see her in 4 years time although a lot can happen between now and then! At the 2007 Elite Canada meet she was 6th in the Senior AA, 4th on UB and BB and 8th on floor.

CROATIA

She was 41st at the 2006 Junior Europeans in AA qualification.

CZECH REPUBLIC
KRISTINA PALESOVA: Bars, Beam and floor: It's no secret that I love Kristina's floor work.

At the 2007 Worlds Kristina qualified 33rd in the AA with a score of 56.375 but due to the 2 per country rule was given an opportunity to compete in the AA final where she came 20th with a score of 56.250 and finished 15th on UB with a score of 15.375.

KAYLEIGH COOKE: Balance Beam and Floor. I watched her floor from the GB v CZE meet in March and I sort of really liked it. She did have a few little mistakes but won the gold on floor and beam at that meet and will value from the exposure and competition.
MARISSA KING: Vault and floor. This girl is one of my favourite gymnasts and is a very powerful worker. She was 1st on vault at the 2007 Glasgow World Cup and that is where we can really see that power in action. At the 2008 Europeans she was 55th AA (3 events) and was 14th on vault (14.475); 19th BB (14.450) and on FX was 34th with 13.700.

Her first World Championships in Melbourne 2005 she qualified for the vault final and was 8th in the final - the first British woman to qualify for a Vault final.
