  • 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 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.
