Dragulescu is BACK!

With a 15.725 on floor, Wow! I was a bit worried about Sellathurai's Pommel with some quick hits suggesting he fell on the dismount, but IG's facebook page says his score is 15.575 which should be enough for finals. Phew. However, Rizzo will miss high bar finals after he sat down his dismount and Offord will miss all-around finals. It looks like he had a bad day as he only scored 82.25.

It has some pretty cool special effects.

Wiwatowski out of worlds

Luke Wiwatowski will miss worlds after snapping his achilles tendon on Saturday. He was training on floor when he tore his achilles on the takeoff for a triple twist. Wiwatowski was set to compete on floor and high bar at worlds. He was the reserve for the worlds team in 2007.
