Well here I am, responding to a challenge. The truth is that these days I had to sit slightly to make this article. Well, let's go by parts, the first step is to talk about the team event.
Spain sent a combo that mixes youth and experience, the Ivan San Miguel, Sergio Muñoz, Rafael Martínez, Gervasio Deferr, Manuel Carballo and Isaac Botella. With his head held high and looking to the drawer, is the group that played in the standings? It matters little the only important thing was to make medium and add in all the appliances, we were the first to compete, along with Italian, American and Chinese (I hope not leave me none).
Spain's rating went through very difficult times, before the rivals: Russia, USA, China, Japan, Germany, Romania ... No one could make a single mistake, because the previous exercises totaled more points, and error arrived, a bar that fateful Manuel Carballo fell off the bar, but in general the exercises were too bad in it, which led to our already well-known elimination. Yet that morning were not all bad taste, Isaac Botella managed to enter the final jump, Gervasio Deferr in soil and Rafael Martinez in the individual final.
And finally the team final, it started close, United States, China and Romania were in the ointment was a now you, now I succeeded each rotation and no one seemed to fail ... China was the pommel horse The more complicated test without doubt there are many artistic gymnastics, doing well on that test would let in the right direction to gold. Romania deflating at times, no major faults but the righteous for the bleeding point was tremendous, Flavius \u200b\u200bKoczi one of its stars was desaparecidísimo, as could be said of Marian Dragulescu, Romania finished the seventh with more pain than glory. Russia made a bizarre competition, if it is true that the USSR no longer, gone are the Victor Tchukarin, Boris Shachlin, Nikolai Andrianov, Alexei Nemov ... Now Russia is still a power, or at least aspire to be, has great gymnasts as Anton Golotsutskov, Sergey Khorokhordin and Maxim Deviatovski, of which we then, that a priori we believe in Russia were able to strip the medals, but like the Romanians, with no major kits went slowly erasing the end to end in the 6 th position. Live big surprises, the first, the 4 th position of Germany, a great Fabian Hambuchen, which delighted the fans, got help up in Germany over traditional powers such as Russia, Romania and South Korea. And finally the three prominent, Japan, gold in Athens in the first rotation could not convince, they keep getting caught in bronze, but well below expectations, there was the day for the middle class Japan, however, a great Tomita and Uchimura's getting better maintained, it goes without saying that the two also were in the individual final, so its use on all apparatus was a fact, perhaps if they had been very thin on the pommel horse rotation, parallel rings (the great handicap of this selection) had chosen the Olympic gold. China meanwhile went his own way in pommel horse, its ultimate test, they had not looked like, perhaps why, in the first rotation advancing with fear, Athenian ghost hovering overhead, and this time the president was looking. Gradually, point to point were getting a mattress, "wide? no, but necessary if the United States directly picked up the gold they could escape, with or without quilt. The Americans began the first rotation very secure and confident, gold should go to their windows, would be a blow to the dragon that is rising. Justin Spring did an exceptional exercise without mistakes and stick with a difficulty level that left gaping at the Olympic Stadium, even the thousands of fans dressed in red, thanks to this and a very acceptable level, the United States arrived with the last rotation options, few, but After all ... Pommel Horse, I do not ever forget that rotation, three athletes to the horse, win or die, Raj Bhavsar made the worst year of what takes place in the final on that set, and only Alexander Artemev consiguiño wash the face of America, and prevent devacle, even so, USA carried out the worst horse all year in the final. At the end of the year knew that China was a champion and prayed for Japan and Germany do not "get wet ear." Japan incredulous of what had happened, took the artillery, the bar should give the money and he did, Uchimura, Tomita and Nakase, put the direct and got the coveted metal to Japan. United States celebrated her bronze to see that despite efforts to pull the car Hambuchen to cover bronze Germany, the Germans who were not to surpass the Americans.
The results were as follows:
1 China 2 Japan 286,125 278,875 275,850 3 United States
274.6005 4 Germany 4 South Korea 274,375 274,300
6 7 Romania Russia
8 France 272,875 274,175
For the individual finals, for a day and this hour of the night, there has been only 3 of the 7, so let's begin.
In the first, the supposed queen of the sport, we had a competing English to Rafa Martínez, the final individual general.
This test was characterized only by the successes, the mistakes, some of scandal. The first rotation began badly for the local hero Yang Wei, ground out, and yet once seen as the competition progressed, a trifle of failure. Encorajinado perhaps by the ruling, perhaps by the millions of eyes rested on him, started from there a wonderful competition in which unit after unit increased its lead over the rest, jump rings and left us stunned. In the last rotation, the bar and Wei arrived knowing that the gold was hers, stage fright was that the Chinese will go quietly into the device, first to avoid mistakes and second because I did not dare to do anything that is out of the script , was to sign and collect the check.
now plays back the other competitors, the rings was the most decisive rotation throughout the test, the invincible Tomita, saw them as the escaped almost any chance of a medal, a fall was that the note was insurmountable , Hambuechen said goodbye their medal chances with a fall in the bar. If I may, that this sport is unfair sometimes! the German who had succeeded his selection was 4 th, looked relegated to 7th place for a mistake he had ever committed, and finally the Korean Kin Daeeun, silver in Athens lost any shot at a medal and diploma to have to get off the horse in the middle of the test.
Sorpresón the French Carabona and that of Japan Uchimura, the first because nobody did anything, not even the media in his country, but exercises no errors, with little difficulty starting, catapulted him to the 3 rd position, paid dearly for errors and France won the bronze. Lo Uchimura was different, previously seen as under pressure if it works this young man of 19, the day before had worked closely with Tomita to catapult Japan into the second position, a priori this was much less technically Japanese countryman, but Uchimura marró not on any evidence, and although it fell far short of Wei, the silver metal tasted like gold. Rafa Martínez
lamented his bad luck at the end of the competition, had a shoulder injury and had managed to keep his face in rings, high bar and parallel shifts in which more and punish this part of the body, but missed the jump, an error at startup cost him a few tenths and thus their chances of medal. A shame, but hopes to compete in London and recover.
The Pommel Horse final respected the script, the story he had a gold Xiao Quin, and that's what we got, we often complain about how unlucky it is cruel fate and that is the Olympics, but sometimes these things happen, and Who has what it deserves, a perfect exercise in the device more difficult and a medal that almost none could jeopardize, stumbling out of Venezuela José Luis Fuentes and the tie between Croatia's Ude and Britain's Smith The tiebreakers were the first outside money.
The final soil had a English one, our flagship in the gym, Gervasio Deferio. Fought the thing started, Zou Kai was very tied with Deferr, Hambuechen and Anton Golotsutskov. Gradually the Chinese picked up a slight lead. I was not sold out, but when it had them all the English Hypolito and Dragulescu failed their exercise by staying seated and therefore no chance of medal. Gervasio initiated a year with a starting note two tenths less than the Chinese, but knowing that if it failed the medal was assured, and said and done, silver after a near perfect exercise. The Russian completed the podium and left again into German, completed Hambuechen poor no room to drive the first or the last of the diagonals.
In short, Spain can be proud of the achievements, hopefully Rafa Martínez same thing happen that has Quin and within four years we are talking about the medal that is owed has been delivered. Gervasio little can be said that has not been said already, sensational, is the glue that a English artistic gymnastics, capable of the best and almost never the worst, only good words for a real crack is as is. Thank
