Asian Gymnastics Wrap up

The Asian Gymnastics championships took place earlier this week. The Taiwanese men took seventh in the team competition. The women didn't send a full team.

Two men qualified for the individual final while no women qualified for any of the finals. Close calls came from Lin Tseng-Ning and Tsai Yi-An who finished ninth and tenth on the vault respectively.

In the individual finals, Chen Szu-Chien finished fifth on the pommel horse.

His routine starts at around 45:38. Pretty solid-except his leg hitting the pommel at 46:02. He also threw in two triple Russians at the end of his routine, but the second one looked quite labored. Overall score of 14.

Chen Chih-Yu finished third place on the still rings. This adds to his bronze medal that he won at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou. Pic here from the AGU website.
