The former Russian bad boy seems to be coming into his own, after winning the 2009 Champions Trophy and placing 5th at the World Championships. He did have some help after Jonathan Horton
Seems to me there was more interest in this year’s American Cup gymnastics meet than in many years past. Kudos to USAG and the meet organizers. Now … why don’t you improve the format for 2011? Do you want it to be referred to as the Scam Cup forever? Blythe Lawrence linked to some analysis if [...]
