WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM EUROS?

So, the Euros was a big event this year but what have we learned from it? I know that it is the lead up to the Olympics so we expected good stuff, what happened?


LARISA IORDACHE SHOULD HAVE THE TRIPLE TWIST NAMED AFTER HER.
Larisa Iordache was the star of the show really, she has difficulty, beauty and grace but something to note is her triple twist. Easy, beautiful, should be called IORDACHE. 

CHANTYSA NETTEB IS DEFINITELY A VAULT CONTENDER FOR SENIORS
Netherlands' Chantya Netteb is a highly touted vaulter and she didn't disappoint this year. Yurchenko 1/1 and Yurchenko 1.5 with height, grace and beauty, Chantysha was always a level ahead.






MARIA KHARENKOVA IS A BIG THREAT.


Yes, although Maria Kharenkova didn't win the all-around, she won 2 golds for Individual finals. Russia have built up their Russian team and she is the peak of success for them.




HANNAH WHELAN HAS AN ADDICTION TO BRONZE.


What is it with Hannah and Bronze? Anyway, 2 bronze medals out of 2 finals is great for U.K. I love her floor routine especially because she has whacky and quirky choreography which makes the audience come alive. Good Girl Han!





ROMANIA COULD EASY BRONZE IN LONDON.


I'm feeling that this is going to be a repeat of what we saw 4 years ago in Beijing, Romania clenching bronze from Russia or maybe China. With Iordache, Izbasa, Ponor, they are too strong to not medal. I actually think they could push for silver.




BRITAIN NEEDED BETH!


Personally, I knew that Britain were going to find it hard going into competition without their team player, Beth Tweddle, and I think their position reflected. I mean 4th place is a great achievement but with beth knocking out her bars with 15+s and 14's on floor, they could have squeezed to bronze position but then again, there was a beam bonanza, which Beth Tweddle wouldn't be able to help out with because she only competes bars and floor but at least they kept her for the big Olympic Games.




KOMOVA HOLDING BACK?


I came to the telly, hoping to see Victoria Komova debut her new bars dismount, the fabrichinova (double double) but where was it? I think maybe she's keeping it in the locker for the Olympics but why? Everyone knows she is doing it because it went viral about a month ago, or maybe she had nerves? Better save it for London? Either way, another bars gold medal in her back pocket isn't too shabby.





A SPOT ON THE OLYMPIC PODIUM FOR SANDRA?


I really hope so. Sandra Izbasa has been working very hard on her vaulting and potentially her clean lines, height and grace could get her their. She's got difficulty to back up the execution but can she amanar? That's the thing? Could she challenge for gold if she upgrades or should she settle for 2nd or 3rd. If Maroney's upgrading to TTYs and Chengs, gold is out of the question.
