07/12/13: Oleg Verniaiev of Ukraine and Larissa Iordache of Romania Took the Titles in a Closely Fought Battle at the 2013 Glasgow World Cup from the Emirates Arena 07/12/13: Oleg Verniaiev of Ukraine and Larissa Iordache of Romania took the titles in a closely fought battle at the 2013 Glasgow World Cup from the Emirates Arena. In front of a capacity crowd both the men’s and women’s events went down to the final routines with Great Britain’s Daniel Purvis just beaten to the men’s crown and USA’s reigning champion Elizabeth Price also narrowly taking silver. Verniaiev took his second World Cup gold in succession with another masterful display, despite a fall on pommel horse, to post a winning score of 89.798. Dan Purvis (89.131) lead the competition for most of the day but couldn't quite hold on as Verniaiev steadily clawed back the points with brilliant vault and parallel bars routines and a solid final high bar performance. Andriy Likhovitskiy (88.597) of Belarus took the bronze with Brit Sam Oldham in 7th. The Iordache versus Price battle was equally as tight. In the end it was a mistake on her vault landing that cost Price with Iordache’s consistent and well performed routines proving enough for the gold medal 57.932 to 57.365. Italy’s Vanessa Ferrari (56.633) also put in a very strong all-around performance to place in bronze with Britain's Ruby Harrold and Raer Theaker in 7th and 8th places. Silver medallist Dan Purvis was happy with his results saying: “It was a really good competition and a great battle between me and Verniaiev. He is a brilliant gymnast and I really enjoyed fighting it out with him to the end. The crowd were amazing, showing so much support for everyone. Competing in front of a home crowd is always special and with the Commonwealth Games and World Championships (2015) to come I’m really looking forward to competing in Glasgow again in the future. Overall it’s been a good year for me and to end with silver from this World Cup and bronze from last weekend (Stuttgart World Cup) is a good way to finish 2013.” Men’s competition report The men’s competition began on the floor with all gymnasts looking to set a solid marker for the rest of the event. It was Dan Purvis, on his favourite apparatus, that set the highest score with his powerful tumbles and solid landings completing a brilliant clean routine to score him 15.433. Sam Oldham couldn’t quite control his penultimate tumble and stepped just out of bounds but still scored a good 14.666. Verniaiev of Ukraine went clean for 14.800 whilst Gonzalez equalled Sam’s score to share 3rd after the first rotation. On to pommel and Dan strengthened his early lead with a composed routine to score him 14.633. Andrey Likhovitskiy was the top scorer with a brilliant routine for 15.333 putting him just behind Dan. Sam Oldham fought through his routine well to score 14 with Verniaiev and Orozco both counting falls. On to rings and Dan Purvis retained his lead at the halfway point of the men’s competition with a solid routine and excellent tuck dismount giving him 14.966. Likhovitskiy kept the pressure on scoring 14.233 with Verniaiev showing great strength or character after his pommel floor for the best rings total of 15.266. Sam Oldham kept in the medal hunt with 14.466 while Yamamoto of Japan continued his steady and clean competition. Vault was up next and Verniaiev began to stake his claim with a massive Dragalescu vault scoring 15.166. Only Dan Purvis could keep close with a 2.5 twisting Yurchenko for 15.000 to keep his overall lead. John Orozco hit a handspring straight front with a double twist for 14.833 with Likhovitskiy remaining in touch with 14.366. Sam Oldham charged purposely down the vault run with a handspring double front for 14.466 while Yamamoto made his fist error of the day stepping out on landing to score 14.200. On parallel bars Dan Purvis lost a bit of form early in his routine but battled on scoring a solid 14.533. Verniaiev had to remain focused as his initial attempt on the bars was cut short by issues with the equipment, these were quickly solved and he re-started showing all his class and composure to score a brilliant 15.633 and move into top spot. Likhovitskiy maintained his medal challenge with another strong routine for 15.066 with Yamamoto scoring a steady 14.200. Sam Oldham showed great form in his routine, just a small pace back on dismount to score 14.500. John Orozco proved why parallel bars his - favourite apparatus - with a great routine for 15.433. Dan Purvis went in to high bar knowing it was a battle between him and Verniaiev for the gold medal. Dan was superb, a well-executed neat routine scored him 14.566. Verniaiev followed up with the last routine of the men’s competition knowing a clean routine should be enough and he stood up to the pressure scoring 14.900 enough to secure the title. Likhovitskiy continued his high quality consistent performances to score 15.066. Yamamoto displayed some very unusual skills which delighted the crowd and with a great stuck dismount scored 14.200, unfortunately John Orozco fell on Tkatchev scoring 13.866. Sam Oldham produced some big skills in his difficulty high bar routine, much to his and the crowds delight, scoring him 14.233.

European beam champion Iordache followed up with huge difficulty, demonstrated by the fact that despite a fall she still scored a highly impressive 14.100 to keep the lead. Vanessa Ferrari looked determined in executing her series of skills on beam; a very strong routine scored her 13.900 while Teramoto unfortunately fell to score 13.200. Raer Theaker showed fantastic composure to pick herself up after bars difficulty with a beautiful clean beam routine for 13.166. Ruby Harrold had to fight to control her early beam sequence and did so well completing cleanly for 12.266. Elizabeth Price showed all her immense power on floor with huge tumbling to score an impressive 14.466. Last up Iordache showed beautiful form, performing expressively to the crowd to score 14.66, the top floor score and with it the all-around title. Vanessa Ferrari is a past World floor champion and that showed in her confident, expressive routine with well executed tumbles that gave her a total of 14.500.

  • 19/03/13: the Men's and Women's British Championships Is the Most
    19/03/13: The Men’s and Women’s British Championships is the most prestigious event on the artistic gymnastics national calendar, taking place from the 22nd-24th March 2013 at Echo Arena in Liverpool. The championships see the country’s top gymnasts battle for coveted British titles; the showpiece event being the crowning of the new senior all-around champions. Over the three day event, which includes competition for juniors and seniors, in both the all- around – where gymnasts compete on all pieces of apparatus- and individual apparatus competitions, the crowd will be treated to awe-inspiring displays of strength, suppleness, stamina, coordination and courage. The battle for senior titles In 2012 Southport’s Daniel Purvis took the men’s title for the third year in a row and once again he will be looking to clinch the trophy, however the competition will be fierce. Dan said “Last year’s British Championships was fantastic - taking the title and also individual medals in such a brilliant arena, and hopefully this year I can do the same. There’s no doubt the competition is really high and with some juniors moving up to senior level it’s not going to be easy but I’ll be battling all the way. British male gymnasts are amongst the very best in the world as demonstrated by the senior and junior teams being crowned European Champions in 2012, along with Team GB boys claiming an historic team bronze and two individual medals in London. Dan’s Olympic teammate’s last summer Sam Oldham and Max Whitlock will also be in the running for the all-around title, while Kristian Thomas unfortunately suffered injury at the recent French World Cup and will be reviewed by the chief medical officer this week.

  • Our British Men's Team of Nile Wilson, Kristian Thomas, Louis Smith MBE
    Our British men’s team of Nile Wilson, Kristian Thomas, Louis Smith MBE, Daniel Purvis and Courtney Tulloch have qualified 2nd into this Saturday's 2016 European Championship team final with a total score of 267.020. Finishing just 0.705 behind Russia in first with 267.725 and ahead of home country Switzerland in third with 263.662, GB looked calm and composed as they set out to make finals. With three gymnasts competing on each apparatus and all scores counting towards the team total, it was a tense competition as each country looked to make the top eight and make it into the team final. With no all-around event at these championships, individually it was all about apparatus finals with the top eight gymnasts on each piece of apparatus making it through. On the floor, Dan scored a strong 14.966 to make the final in 4th with Kristian joining him in 8th with 14.833. Over on the pommel, Louis Smith performed beautifully to top qualification and make the final with 15.833. Lord of the rings Courtney Tulloch shone on his favoured piece of apparatus scoring a world class 15.466 to make the final in 6th. On the vault, Kristian powered his way to the final in 6th with an average of 14.866. Finally on the high bar, both Kristian and Nile performed superb routines to both score 15.033 and head into the final in 1st and 2nd respectively (Kristian just edging out Nile on execution). Kristian Thomas: “We’re very satisfied with our performance as a team, a great job by everyone today.
