Gymmin' Miel!

This post will be used for the live scoring for both days of Qualification for both Individuals and Groups in Rhythmic Gymnastics. It should be an exciting couple of days of Rhythmic Gymnastics competition, however I believe that for the Individuals, unless something goes horribly wrong, and I hope not, that the gold medal is definitely Evgeniya Kanaeva's for the taking. The other placings should be fought out between Daria Dmitrieva of Russia, Aliya Garayeva of Russia, the Belarussians and Korean Son Yeon Jae. However as we all know anything can happen! For the Group competition, look for the Italians and Russians to possibly battle it out for the top spot, but Spain, Belarus, Israel and Bulgaria shouldn't be counted out. But again anything can happen!

INDIVIDUALS: After rotation one, it is Russian Daria Dmitrieva over compatriot Evgeniya Kanaeva and Korean Son Yeon Jae. And after the first Day, it's Dmitrieva narrowly over Kanaeva with Belarussian Liubov Charkashyna in third. After the third rotation, it is still Dmitrieva leading over Kanaeva and Charkashyna.

And qualifying for the Individual Final are: Russians Evgenia Kanaeva and Daria Dmitrieva; Azerbaijan's Aliya Garayeva; Bulgaria's Silviya Miteva; Belarussian Liubov Charkashyna; Korean Son Yeon Jae; Ukraine's Alina Maksymenko and Ganna Rizatdinova; Poland's Joanna Mitrosz and Israel's Neta Rivkin. And for the Groups, it's Russia, Italy, Belarus, Bulgaria, Spain, Ukraine, Israel and Japan.

RESULTS - INDIVIDUAL QUALIFICATION: (Hoop, Ball, Clubs, Ribbon)

Results after Second Subdivision!! So far Team US is on top with Great Britain and Japan rounding out the top three. Danell Leyva and John Orozco are top two in the All Around with Great Britain's Kristian Thomas is in third. Event leaders are: China's ZOU Kai on the Floor Exercise, Britain's Louis Smith on the Pommel Horse, China's CHEN Yibing on the Still Rings, Korea's Yang Hak Seon on the Vault, Japan's Yusuke Tanaka on the Parallel Bars and the Netherland's Epke Zonderland pn the Horizontal Bar.

SORRY: I haven't been able to complete the live scoring. I am currently completing a required practical component for my college course. My sister Talitha watched the Foxtel coverage of the event and will be sending me her notes at some stage this evening. And now onto the Gymnastics: The United States men's team score managed to stay at the top of the leaderboard, with Russia and Great Britain rounding out the top three. Other teams qualifying to the Team Final are Germany, Japan, China, Ukraine and France. Danell Leyva of the United States is the highest qualifier to the All Around Final over Russian David Belyavskiy and Germany's Fabian Hambuechen. ZOU Kai remained on top of the Floor Exercise with Japan's Kohei Uchimura and Romanian Flavius Koczi rounding out the top three. Exciting to see Alexander Shatilov (ISR) and Enrique Tomas Gonzalez Sepulveda of Chile in the Final!!! Smith remains at the top of the Pommel Horse standings with Frenchman Cyril Tommasone in second and Hungarian Vid Hidvegi in third. Would love to see Italian Alberto Busnari win a medal in the final and hope to see Krisztian Berki of Hungary get a medal. Yibing is tops on the Still Rings with Italian Matteo Morandi and Aleksandr Balandin of Russia in the top three. Well done to Puerto Rico's Tommy Ramos, Federico Molinari of Argentina and Bulgarian Iordan Iotchev who have all qualified to the Final.
