Today marks the final day of the Artistic Gymnastics competition of the 2013 Summer Universiade which is being held at the Kazan Gymnastics Center. The Start Lists for tonight's finals, can be seen at: http://chimgym.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/start-lists-for-universiade-event-finals.html. It should be a fantastic evening of competition! Can I say how lovely it is to be able to see footage from the training gym. What a horrible time Denis Ablyazin had on the Floor Exercise - a few times out of bounds on passes and low landings. Fabian Hambuechen is such a wonderful sportsman, shaking everyone's hands - lovely to see. Japan's Ryohei Kato performed a lovely routine to earn the Floor Exercise title over Fabian Hambuechen (GER) and David Belyavskiy (RUS).

The Women are wearing some lovely leotards. Poor Anna Dementyeva is sitting in the stands all by herself. Maria Paseka is wearing a mostly white leotard with blue down the sleeves and across the top with three with stripes on either side with diamantes. She looks very pleased. Moreno Medina is wearing a white sleeved leo with red on the bottom half with blue? diagonal stripes seperating the colors. Her coach looks overjoyed for her! Lovely red leo for Afanasyeva. I never noticed her crossing herself before. Elsabeth Black is wearing the teal? colored Canadian Olympic leo. Sleeveless leos for the PRK Gymnasts, both in red with blue and white swirls. Poor RI Un Ha crashes her second Vault. Bui wears the flamey version of the German leo. Teja Belak wears a white sleeved, pink bottomed leo that has a white explosion pattern on the pink. HONG Un Jong (PRK) and Ksenia Afanasyeva (RUS) tie for the gold with Maria Paseka (RUS) earning the bronze.

I have a confession to make. Whilst I love watching the Men's Pommel Horse competition, I do find watching their warm ups on the apparatus a little tedious due to the constant adjustments being made. Japan's Ryohei Kato replaces Russian Emin Garibov in the Final. Oleg Verniaiev had some problems on the apparatus whilst Shogo Nonomura (JPN) had a fall.Oh wow Filip Ude of Croatia had a major mistake and jumped off the Pommel Horse. There was a moment of confusion before he remounted and finished the routine. Nikolai Kuksenkov of Russia earns his second Individual Gold medal over Mexico's Daniel Corral Barron and Ukraine's Oleg Stepko.

Fantastic routine from Aliya Mustafina. Lovely to see Kim Bui smiling and happy. Yu Minobe of Japan is wearing a lovely blue and white leotard with a hint of gold and silver. Tatiana Nabieva is in the lovely green  and white leotard with silver patterning. Happy smiles and waves after her routine and a nice bow for the camera. Lisa Katharina Hill is wearing a similar leo to Bui but the patterning around the neck. Maryna Kostiuchenko is wearing a plain black sleeveless leotard with green around collar and sleeve and silver explosion from the chest, counts a fall. Seon Mi Heo is wearing a lovely white sleeveless leotard with blue and red explosion pattern. Mustafina takes out the Uneven Bars honors over compatriot Tatiana Nabieva and Germany's Lisa Katharina Hill.

Two incredible routines to start off the Still Rings final. Absolutely sensational routine from Brazilian Arthur Nabarrete Zanetti. No one could best Zanetti who topped Russian Denis Ablyazin and Ukrainian Igor Radivilov for the title.

And we are back for the second half. I love seeing how in awe all of YANG Hak Seon's competitors are. Poor Tomi Tuuha of Finland landed on his back on his second vault. Kazakhstan's Stanislav Valiyev also had a disappointing second Vault after putting his hands down. His compatriot Viktor Kocherin sat down his first Vault. There was no question that this was YANG's title to win. Ablyazin took the silver with Radivilov earning the bronze.

Anna Dementyeva is wearing the stunning blue leotard with diamantes. PAK Sin Hyang is wearing a sleeveless pink leotard with diamante patterning like an explosion on the side. Pia Tolle is wearing the same leotard as as Lisa Katharina Hill was wearing. Solid start to Dementyeva's routine until she fell on her acro series. Sakura Noda is wearing the red variation of Minobe's leotard. Fall for Noda. Rocky routine for Mustafina but she managed to stay on. Two falls for Minobe, it kind of looked as though after the first fall that her heart wasn't in it. China's ZHANG Yelinzi performed a rock solid Balance Beam routine to win the title over Russian Aliya Mustafina and Canadian Elsabeth Black who finished second and third respectively.

Onto the Men's Parallel Bars. And again it seems like they take forever to warm up! Great set from Oleg Verniaiev although he looked a little sore afterwards. And it is a Russian 1-2 on the Podium as Emin Garibov tops the field over David Belayavskiy with Ukraine's Verniaiev taking third place.

Danusia Francis is wearing top white/bottom blue leotard. Stunning leotard for Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas whilst Angelina Kysla of Ukraine is wearing a red leotard with black detailing. Wooow Afanasyeva goes out of bounds on her final two passes. Deep squat on Mustafina's second tumbling line, an iffy landing on her second last pass and hands down on her final tumbling line. Fantastic routine from Elsa Garcia although out of bounds on her final pass. Afanasyeva manages to hold on for the title. Mexico's Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas and Elsabeth Black of Canada tie for the silver.

Final event for the Artistic Gymnastics program at the 2013 Universiade and it is set to be a phenomenal showdown. Men's Horizontal Bar. Russian Emin Garibov stole the show on the apparatus with Japan's  Yusuke Tanaka edging out compatriot Ryohei Kato for the silver medal.

    The International University Sports Federation or FISU Website has a feature written by South African FISU Young Reporter Fabio De Dominicis with an update on South African Rhythmic Gymnast Julene Van Rooyen. Van Rooyen who missed out on the competition at the Universiade is aiming for success at the upcoming World Championships in Ukraine. From the article, which you can see in full at http://www.fisu.net/en/Heartbreak-in-Kazan-for-injured-South-African-gymnast-3133.html?mbID=5379:
    The 20-year old University of Pretoria student extended her Sports Science degree to five years to focus on training for the Summer Universiade in Kazan.
    Yet just a day after arriving in Russia, in her first hour of practise, Van Rooyen felt an unbearable pain. After being examined by doctors, Van Rooyen was rushed to the hospital to have her appendix removed.
    “If we waited any longer, it would have burst,” the rhythmic gymnast said.
    Van Rooyen spent the next four days in hospital, with all hopes of competing at the Universiade dashed.
    “I am really disappointed. I gave up so much to be here,” the South African said.
    The young athlete still has a broad smile on her face however, describing how she has still thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the Universiade.

    Russian Valentin Starikov has taken out the Floor Exercise title on the final over Great Britain's Brinn Bevan. Bevan scored the same mark as Tomas Kuzmickas of Lithuania but due to Bevan's higher execution mark relegated Kuzmickas to the bronze. Great Britain's Nile Wilson was the winner on the Pommel Horse over Greece's Antonios Tantalidis and Starikov. Bevan scored the same total of Starikov but had a lower execution saw which saw him miss out on a medal. Wilson also won the Still Rings title, with France's Paul Degouy in second and Russian Ivan Stretovich in third. Again it was the tie-breaking rule that decided who was second and third. Russia's Kirill Potapov was the Vault Champion with compatriot Starikov finishing in second place over Belarus' Viktar Hrankouski. Stretovich earned the honors on the Parallel Bars over Brinn Bevan and Turkey's Ahmet Onder, whilst on the Horizontal Bar, Italy's Carlo Macchini was triumphant. Starikov earned second place with Croatia's Tin Srbic in third. 

    On the Women's side of the competition, Great Britain's Elissa Downie won the Vault title with Romanian Laura Jurca finishing in second. Fellow British gymnast Tyesha Mattis finished in third. Italy's Martina Rizzelli won the Uneven Bars title with Frenchwoman Louise Vanhille in second and Tea Ugrin of Italy in third. Maria Bondareva of Russia won the Balance Beam title over Dutch starlet Eythora Thorsdottir. France's Claire Martin and Romanian Andreea Iridon both earned the bronze medal having identical D and E scores. Russian Maria Kharenkova won the Floor Exercise over Kim Janas. Janas topped Romanian Silvia Zarzu for the silver medal due to her higher execution score.
