Max Whitlock Become Britain's First Ever Men's World Champion Britain's Max Whitlock become Britain’s first ever men’s world champion Britain’s Max Whitlock has been crowed the 2015 pommel horse World Champion after a sensational routine performed to a packed home crowd at the Hydro Arena in Glasgow. Max scored a phenomenal 16.133 to take Great Britain’s first ever men’s gymnastics gold at a World Championships with the most difficult routine of the competition. Coming in silver just 0.100 behind was teammate Louis Smith who also wowed the crowd with a truly world class routine. Max also competed in the floor final to take the silver medal with a very impressive routine to score 15.566 with teammate Dan Purvis finishing in 5th. This gives Great Britain a total of five medals so far making it their most successful World Championships to date. Max Whitlock was ecstatic after the competition: “To be honest I can't believe it. Making history as a team was very special and to finish this historic week with gold is incredible, it's something I’ve dreamt about for so long and that’s come true today. I’ve had a long week doing a lot of routines, my legs felt a bit like jelly on the floor routine but the crowd there got me through and to win silver behind a legend like Shirai was amazing. There’s no doubt the home crowd has inspired us and we’ve all rose to the occasion. I just want to thank everyone who has supported me, I’m very happy to have done this for everyone, my coach Scott has been incredible and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone, it’s unbelievable” Watch Max’s reaction immediately after his performance. Louis Smith MBE was proud of his teammate and his own achievements: “I’m very pleased and very relieved, it’s been a tough World Championships and importantly we got our main goal getting Rio. What a pommel final, Max deserved the win it was a beautiful routine by him so I’m proud of both of us. I’ve done my job for the team and for myself, there are 7 billion people on the planet and GB are the top two on pommel. The goal for me is Rio; I’ll be fighting to make that team now and working hard every day.” Watch Louis’s reaction immediately after his performance. 16 year-old Ellie Downie also competed in the women’s vault final. Ellie held her own against the world’s best to place 4th with an average of 14.899. Just a first year senior gymnast, Ellie looks to have a great future ahead of her on this apparatus. Ruby Harrold was the last competitor of the day for GB, competing in the uneven bars final. Ruby put in an almost flawless performance to finish with 14.766 and 7th place. The gold was a 4-way tie between Komova (RUS), Kocian (USA), Spiridonova (RUS) and Fan (CHN) all girls scoring 15.366, something that has never been seen before. .

He comes from gymnastics family (his brother Pavel have world championship medals) and he devoted his life to gymnastics. His last achievement is establishment of Narodna encyklopedia športu Slovenska (www.sportency.sk). Among his passion is collecting photos and signatures of gymnasts.

  • 2021 CGA Awards Program
    2021 College Gymnastics Association Awards Program CGA AWARDS PROGRAM 2021 1 Statement from CGA President Mike Burns Last year at this time we were just at the start of a year that some would prefer to forget altogether. We lost the last part of our season which was devastating to us all. No conference and national champions were crowned, no All-Americans were determined, no epic battles were fought on the competition floor. And that was a bitter pill to swallow. Every one of us was impacted in a negative way. Something we always expected to happen was taken away and that started the process of self reflection and trying to manage the tidal wave of emotions that washed over us all. It was a time we'd all like to forget indeed. However, if we decided to forget this crazy year, think about all of the awesome things we'd be purging from our memories. All the Zoom meetings with our teams that helped strengthen the bonds within our teams; all the ways you found to stay in shape; all the injuries that actually had a chance to heal a little further; all the positive energy you were forced to find in the face of adversity to just find a way. Adversity is an interesting thing. At first it seems impenetrable, a problem without a solution. But then, what happens? Our collective creative juices start to flow and solutions are discovered. We enter the 'Lewis & Clark' phase of discovery. We drive into unknown territory and while it seems daunting at first, lo and behold, we adjust to a new way of thinking and acting that never would have occurred if not for the original adversity we encountered.
