Gymmin' Miel!

Tea Ugrin of Italy replaced her compatriot Vanessa Ferrari who unfortunately has suffered a flare up of her tendonitis. United States of America's Simone Biles joined the elite company of Svetlana Khorkina (1997, 2001, 2003) to win three All Around World Championship titles and became the only one to win it three years consecutively. Comeback queen Gabrielle Douglas finished second with Romanian Larisa Andreea Iordache redeeming herself from qualification by earned the bronze medal. It was a mistake laden final with the balance beam proving it's reputation of being the fickle apparatus. Biles had to save a punch front on Beam and went out of bounds during the Floor Exercise but it was enough to win the gold. China's SHANG Chunsong had a solid competition but a low scoring Vault saw her finish out of the medals. 2015 European Champion Giulia Steingruber of Switzerland had a fantastic competition but also had an unfortunate slip off the Beam. It was a solid day for Japan's Mai Murakami whilst Canadian Elsabeth Black bettered her ranking from last year despite falling out of her opening turn and having a bobble on one of her acro series and falling off on the other. Biles was the top scorer on the Vault and Floor Exercise whilst Iordache and Germany's Elisabeth Seitz were the top scorers on the Balance Beam and Uneven Bars respectively.

The Women's All Around Final at the Pan American Games is underway at the Toronto Coliseum. Reserves Sydney Mason of Bermuda and Morgan Lloyd of the Cayman Islands came into the final to replace Chile's Makarena Pinto Adasme and Yamilet Pena Abreu of the Dominican Republic. After one rotation Amelia Hundley of the United States lead from compatriot Madison Desch with Guatemala's Ana Sofia Gomez Porras in third. Hundley had to count a less than stellar Bars routine as too did Ana Sofia Gomez Porras. At the halfway mark in the competition Desch leads Canadian Elsabeth Black with Brazil's Flavia Lopes Saraiva in third. Oh no! Please tell me Ivet Rojas Galean is not injured. 24horas.cl reports that Pinto Adasme had a niggling injury deciding to rest up for the Vault final. Heading into the final rotation Black leads Desch and Lopes Saraiva. And it's official!! Canadian Elsabeth Black takes the gold over Madison Desch (USA) and Flavia Lopes Saraiva (BRA).

Tonight sees the Women's All Around Final at the 28th Gwangju Universiade being contested at the Kwangju Women's University Universiade Gymnasium. Portugal's Ana Filipa Martins was the highest qualifier to the final topping Russian Polina Fedorova and Great Britain's Kelly Simm. However it was a closely fought qualification so it could be anyone's title for the taking. I love the pink suits that the judges are wearing. Blue leotard with diamantes and red v's down the sleeves and at the top for Kelly Simm. Emma Jane Nedov is wearing the red/black Australian leotard, whilst Farah Ann Abdul Hadi is wearing the purple and black leotard with the silver. Love Ana Filipa Martins' leotard - white with black metallicy sleeves with greeny/aqua/turquoise swirls. Blue leotard with white sleeves and diamante patterning for Fedorova. Big hop forward on the Bars dismount for Dilnoza Abdusalimova (green leotard with diamantes), whilst big hop back for Farah Ann Abdul Hadi for her vault. Loooove Daria Yelizarova's leotard. Elisabeth Geurts wears blue leotard with diamante, white sleeves and red collar. Simple deep blue leotard with black V at the top and on part of the shoulders with diamantes for Norway's Sofie Braaten - very elegant looking. Sits down her landing but she's still laughing and smiling. Very detailed and colorful leotards for the Republic of Korea gymnasts - my favorites! Red leotard with silver patterning for the Japanese gymnasts. Simple yet elegant leotard for Simone Penker who is representing Austria but is a member of the University of Alaska-Anchorage Gymnastics team. Stunningly colored leotard with black sleeves for Tracie Ang who replaces Tan Ing Yueh in the final. After one rotation, Kelly Simm leads over Japan's Asuka Teramoto and Yelizarova.

Fall for Emma Jane Nedov on the Beam and a fall for Daria Yelizarova on the Uneven Bars. Aquaey queen leotard with patterning on the sleeves for Mexico's Mariana Vazquez Beristain who had a couple of falls from the Balance Beam. Solid Bars routine for HEO Seon Mi. Sensational Bars routine from Kelly Simm but took awhile for her score to come through. It's really lovely to see athletes from other sports watching in the stands. Unfortunately Claudia Cummins has to count a couple of falls on the Beam - she is in a sleeveless red leotard with pink swirls - sits down her dismount. At the halfway mark, Simm leads over Teramoto with HEO Seon Mi of the Republic of Korea moving into third.

Huge save from Ana Filipa Martins on her side aerial. Massive bobble on the landing of Mariana Vazquez Beristain's final tumbling pass. Fall on Beam from HEO Seon Mi and she takes a couple of steps backwards and sits down her dismount. Lovely Floor routine from Dilnoza Abdusalimova. Gorgeous Beam routine from Natsumi Sasada. I love the piano drink holder she uses. Lovely routine from Asuka Teramoto - huge hop forward on the dismount. Solid routine on Beam from Kelly Simm - massive step back on the dismount. Gorgeous Beam routine from Fedorova - just a couple of bobbles. Great Floor routines from Claudia Cummins and Emma Jane Nedov. With one rotation to go Simm still maintains the lead over Japan's Teramoto and Sasada.

Fantastic routine from Farah Ann Abdul Hadi! Great Vault from Vazquez Beristain. Carmen Astrid Horvat's silver leotard with diamantes looked elegantly simple. Solid Vault. Great Vault from Penker. Fall on second last tumbling pass for EUM Dayeon. Stunning routine from HEO Seon Mi. Lovely routine from Natsumi Sasada. Solid routine from Asuka Teramoto. Slight bobble on Martins' final tumbling pass.

And it is official - Kelly Simm wins the All Around title over Japan's Asuka Teramoto and Natsumi Sasada. Congratulations to all! 

This afternoon sees the Women take to the competition floor to contest the Women's All Around Final. Can I just say how great it is to see so many spectators filling the stands. Unfortunately the full results will not be available until shortly after the competition and I will update these as soon as possible. Vietnam's PHAN Thi Ha Thanh is wearing the green/deep aqua bodied leotard with diamante pattern with the black mesh sleeves that we so commonly see her wear. The gymnasts from Singapore Nadine Joy Nathan and Janessa Dai Min Yi are both wearing red leotards with swirls and diamante patterning. Farah Ann Abdul Hadi is wearing a leotard half blue (or is it purple?) and half with a mesh sleeve with white patterning and very shiny! Indonesia's Rifda Irfanalutfi is wearing a predominately black leotard with a silver sleeve and gold patterning whilst Tan Ing Yueh is in a purple leotard with diamantes around the collar and wrists and gorgeous patterning on the back.

Just a step out on the landing for PHAN. Gorgeous vault from Nadine Joy Nathan. Solid vault landing off to one side for Farah Ann. It took them a long time to decide Janessa Dai Min Yi's score. Rifda Irfanalutfi's vault was so close to the table! Big hop backwards for Tan Ing Yueh. Solid routine on the Bars for Ava Lorein Verdeflor who is wearing a predominately purple leotard with black sleeves. Predominately purple 3/4 sleeved leotard for Vietnam's DO Thi Van Anh with black mesh in there and pink flame pattern. It's actually quite lovely. Had to wait a long time to get started. Poor DO that long wait did not help. Has to count a fall and had a really mess start to the routine. Both Thailand gymnasts are wearing sleeveless leotards. Praewpraw is in a blue leotard with purple and pink swirls on the front. Had a bit of leg separation throughout her routine, and sat down on her dismount. Kanyanat Boontoeng was the gymnast who DO had to wait for the score to come through for. Boontoeng wears a black leotard with white sides which has red patterning to separate the black from the white - landed on her knees and head for the dismount. PHAN leads Farah Ann Abdul Hadi and Rifda Irfanalutfi after the first rotation.

Good Bars routine for Nadine Joy Nathan. Was a gorgeous routine but Farah Ann Abdul Hadi sits down her dismount. Solid routine for Irfanalutfi. Fall on release for Tan Ing Yueh and hop back on dismount. Solid routine from PHAN. Stunning black leotard with mesh sleeves and diamantes for Elizabeth LeDuc. Unfortunate fall on beam. Few bobbles in Verdeflor's routine. PHAN still leads over Abdul Hadi and Singapore's Nadine Joy Nathan at the halfway mark.

A fall from Farah Ann on the Balance Beam but finishes solidly. Beautiful Floor routine from Ava Lorein Verdeflor. Two falls from Janessa Dai Min Yi on the Beam. Irfanalutfi seems to jump off the Beam - maybe she did not feel secure on her landing, lovely routine otherwise. A couple of bobbles but a nice routine from Tan Ing Yueh. Big save but PHAN shows how it's done! Solid routine with a fall from Nadine Joy Nathan. Love Elizabeth LeDuc's floor routine!! PHAN still leads over Abdul Hadi and Nadine Joy Nathan.

Lovely routine from Janessa Dai Min Yi. Fall to her hands and knees on her second pass (Rifda Irfanalutfi) her music reminds me of Irish dancing! Lovely form from Ava Lorein Verdeflor on her vault - lands to the side though. Gorgeous routine from PHAN!! Lovely routine from Nadine Joy Nathan. Beautiful routine from Farah Ann just a little bobble on her final pass. And it's official PHAN Thi Ha Thanh takes the All Around title over Malaysia's Farah Ann Abdul Hadi and Nadine Joy Nathan of Singapore.

China's YAO Jinnan top scored on the Vault, Uneven Bars and Floor Exercise to take the Women's All Around title at the 17th Asian Games in Incheon. Jinnan's team mate SHANG Chunsong was the high scorer on the Balance Beam and recorded the second top score on the Uneven Bars as she earned the silver medal. The Republic of Korea's own YUN Narae rallied to take the bronze medal and also recorded the second highest scores on the Vault and Floor Exercise and the third top scores on the Uneven Bars and Balance Beam (tied with Japan's Azumi Ishikura). Japan's Yuriko Yamamoto was the third highest scorer on the Vault and Floor Exercise. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea's HONG Un Jong who finished sixth in the All Around Qualifications did not compete, whilst Uzbekistan's Yelena Rega replaced her compatriot Asal Saparbaeva in the Final.

RESULTS:

Russian Seda Tutkhalyan won the Women's All Around title at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China yesterday. Brazil's Flavia Lopes Saraiva finished second, 0.200 points behind Tutkhalyan.

Lopes Saraiva was the high scorer on the Balance Beam (14.050) and the Floor Exercise (13.800 along with China's WANG Yan).

Tyesha Mattis of Great Britain was the highest qualifier to today's European Youth Olympic Festival All Around Final in Utrecht. She topped Russian starlet Maria Kharenkova and Laura Jurca of Romania, question on everyone's lips is "can she do it again?" Well it is definitely going to be an exciting competition and good luck to all the gymnasts competing. 

Great to see an outstanding turnout in the Arena. There seems to be some stunning leotards out there today! The gymnasts have just marched out and competition should commence soon. After the first rotation, Jurca is in  the lead over Germany's Kim Janas and Kharenkova who are tied for second. At the halfway mark Great Britain's Elissa Downie is in first over Kharenkova and Janas. Heading into the final rotation, Janas leads over Tyesha Mattis with Sweden's Emma Larsson in third. Think it is going to be a great finish! Maria Kharenkova ties with Kim Janas for the Gold with Mattis picking up the bronze.

RESULTS:

Russian Aliya Mustafina has triumphed in the All Around at the 2013 Summer Universiade in Kazan. After top scoring on the Uneven Bars she earned the honor over compatriot Ksenia Afanasyeva with Germany's Kim Bui earning a surprise bronze medal (she had qualified to the final in seventh place). Afanasyeva earned the high score on the Vault and Floor Exercise, whilst Canadian Elsabeth Black who ended up in fourth place in the All Around, earned the high mark on the Balance Beam. Portugal's Rita Limao Oliveira who was the first Reserve to the final replaced Finland's Ida Laisi in the line up. Laisi had injured her elbow in Qualification.

RESULTS:

Romanian Larisa Andreea Iordache led the Women's Qualifications over team mate Diana Laura Bulimar and Russian Anastasia Grishina... can one of these Women win the All Around title today? Russian Aliya Mustafina had a rough time on the Balance Beam, can she redeem herself, by claiming the All Around title? Or could we see someone else triumph?

After the first rotation, Iordache leads over Bulimar and Mustafina who are tied for second place. Dutchwoman Noel van Klaveren is in fourth. At the halfway mark in the competition, Iordache has a solid lead over Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber and Mustafina. Heading into the final rotation, Iordache still leads over Russians Aliya Mustafina and Anastasia Grishina.

And it's a huge congratulations to Aliya Mustafina of Russia, with Iordache picking up second place and Anastasia Grishina of Russia earning the bronze medal.
