World Championship Medal Tallies

With the World Championships approaching, I thought it might be interesting to look at the women’s medal winners over the years from a country perspective, as most of us have a good idea of the most medaled individuals. The following is a list of the medals, per event since the first championship in 1934. (I may or may not finish the men later as they are a giant pain to count pre-1950). Anyway, here’s the list if anyone’s interested. If nothing else, it does highlight how much the top 4 teams in a time period dominate the medals.

2017 Southeast Asian Games, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This multi-sport event is happening in the shadow of bigger meets like the Universiade and USA Nationals, but it's here and it's real! The gymnastics competition seems to be Team and EF only, no AA. The official website isn't user-friendly, so I'm posting results from Wikipedia:

Texas-based PHI gymnast Kaitlin DeGuzman won UB:

Nice results for MAS, Singapore, and PHI, but I miss Phan Thi Ha Thanh.

The All Time EPIC Saves

Until Recently my favorite one was Nastia on beam when she does a handstand rather than fall. Now I have to say the "Chiles" is on top.

USA WAG Nationals

These juniors are looking great at PT. The USA has completely transformed itself on UB. In 2012, maybe three girls had actual swing on UB. Used to look so heavy and labored. These juniors are floating their transitions like the Russians.

Nominative registrations:

There are many more MAG teams and individuals, so their qualification will consist of two days.

Even though the WAG registration has Kelly Simm, she already said she's focusing on Worlds instead. GB isn't sending any other gymnasts.

2017 World Rosters

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any news regarding the selection of squds for the World Championships in Montreal.
To my knowledge, Janpan and Canada are only teams who named their teams for worlds:


Canada
Brooklyn Moors
Elsabeth Black
Shallon Olson
Isabella Onyshko
Brittany Rogers (Alt.)

Japan
Sae Miyakawa
Murakami Mai
Asuka Teramoto
Yuki Uchiyama

Great Britain
They have not annouced a team but both of the Downie sisters will miss worlds due injuries/recovering from surgery.

Dominique Moceanu SI For Kids Ep?

Does anyone have the video of when Dominique Moceanu was on the short-lived Sports Illustrated For Kids show in late 1997 and is there any chance you could post it again? I cant seem to find my recording of it for some reason and I'm dying to see it again.

Thanks in advance.

US Nationals + Worlds Selection - MAG Edition

Since only a handful of us even follow MAG, I thought I'd separate this from the main USA thread knowing the men's stuff will be glossed over once the women's portion begins lol.

Anyway, here's the field set for nationals:

As I expected, no Chris Brooks or Jake Dalton. Sam Mikulak said at the national qualifier that Chris Brooks had a busted ankle. Meanwhile, Jake Dalton injured his knee warming up at Winter Cup and generally has been on the fence about continuing anyway.

I mentioned before Sam Mikulak only plans to do pommels at nationals (and Worlds if he's selected although I can't imagine taking him if that's the case).
