Rotation 6
Garry Denk: A great pommel horse routine.
Blaine Wilson:
"He is our national champion without a doubt. He does a handspring front,
layout one and a half twist on vault." -- TD
"I think I felt the ground shake on that vault! Awesome!" -- TD
Jim Foody:
"Nice one arm work on high bar, just beautiful." -- CW
Jay Thornton: "After a year of thinking about not making the Olympic team, he's got to be psyched now with that vault." -- CW
Mike Dutka: "Eight elements on one pommel! This is the best routine we've seen all day. Oh, he almost let his dismount fly off the mat, a little excited, maybe. But he kept it together." -- CW
John Roethlisberger:
piked Tkatchev with a half twist on the recatch
"Double front with a half layout over the bar for a great routine!" -- CW
Jason Gatson: "He is showing that he can keep up with the big boys." -- TD

"Double layout, stuck, for his second pass" -- CW
"Full twisting double back dismount" -- CW
"He just rocked that routine!" -- TD
John Roethlisberger:
"He looks a little shaky" -- CW
"I think he's improvising a bit here, not the best routine I've seen him do."

Garry Denk:
"A solid routine but not as clean as we would expect from Garry." -- CW

Brent Klaus: triple back dismount off of rings
Blaine Wilson:
"Blaine is such a strong athlete. It's hard for him to miss routines." --
TD
"He almost took a fall on his double twisting double back, but he's got
quick feet." -- CW
John Macready:
"A nice routine, clean." -- CW
Jim Foody: "A little break on his parallel bars, but the rest nice and clean. Nails the double pike dismount. That is going to help." -- CW
Jay Thornton: Good routine on rings
Mike Dutka: "He has one of the highest start values in the competition. After just two passes, he already has a full point of bonus, ending both of those passes with a one and a half front twist. His second pass is a round off backhandspring, two and a half twist, a little short. A great full twisting double back dismount." -- CW

is a huge event for him." -- TD
"A lot of Stalder elements, and he catches the bar on his Kovacs!" -- CW
"Double twisting double layout, little hop, but a clean routine! That kid is tough and has got a lot of character." -- CW
John Roethlisberger: "John NAILED his Tsukahara double twist. He's throwing his fists out and he's pretty psyched up." -- CW
Blaine Wilson: clean and strong routine on pommel horse
Jay Thornton: "A good solid routine on pommel horse. He's gotta be happy with that. It will keep him in contention for Worlds." -- CW

Rotation 3
Jay Thornton:
Mike Dutka: "Piked double front, very clean. A hop on his double pike dismount. It was a pretty good routine, but he doesn't look happy with it." -- CW
Jay Thornton: awesome floor routine!
John Roethlisberger:
"John could move up with this routine." -- CW
"Here we are seeing good holds on his inverted crosses. Good solid press
to handstand, slight shakes in the handstand. A really nice double
back between the rings. Dismount is a double twisting double back stick!
Jason Gatson:
"An incredible athlete, having a few small problems. But he has great
rhythm. A unique skill where he does a full twisting hop full pirrouette." -- CW
"Very nicely done skills!"--TD
Steve McCain: "He has moved all the way up from twelfth to eighth
after just two rotations, but he is still more than a point out of the
Worlds team." -- CW
"Good holds, although maybe a little high. A bit of swing on rings, but
this is a good routine so far." -- CW
"Double front with a half turn, and he sat down. It looked like he was
going to stand that up, but he stumbled over his foot and then sat down." -- CW
Blaine Wilson:
"Blaine is just an outstanding athletes. He is in first place without any
problems. More than likely he will be first place tonight. And, he is
still a relatively young athlete." -- CW
"I think Jason Gatson could challenge Blaine for 2000, and if John sticks around,
John Roethlisberger will also challenge him." -- CW
"He was a bit shaky on his first pass, watering it down. Two hops on his
double layout second pass." -- CW
"Whip to double full dismount, and fights the landing with about ten arm swings, but doesn't move." -- CW

Rotation 2
Blaine Wilson: outstanding high bar!
Jim Foody: "That was not a very solid routine for him. I think he is still ok as far as the Worlds team goes." -- CW
Mike Dutka: "Just finished his vaulting and he fell. That
could really drop him in the standings." -- TD
"That is one of his best events. Odd that he did a handspring layout front
with a full, not one and a half twists like normal." -- CW
Jay Thornton: "He just missed a Kovacs." -- TD
Dave Kruse: fall on his first pass on floor
Jason Gatson: outstanding handspring front with one and a half twists!
Chainey Umphrey: fell off on pommel horse
Garry Denk: fall on his double front vault
John Roethlisberger: "He has the second highest start value
on pommel horse, a 9.7 if he doesn't everything that
he plans." -- CW
"He didn't finish the 360 degree turn at the end. That's his only major
deduction." -- CW
"With so many athletes falling in this rotation, that kind of mistake shouldn't
hurt him." -- TD
Steve McCain: "A pretty good routine, I think this pommel routine will score well." -- CW
Brent Klaus: "Triple back off the high bar, but he touched his hands." -- CW
Trent Wells: "Can he handle the pressure of being on the bubble?" --TD
"Trent has a hurt ankle, although you wouldn't be able to know it by his floor
routine. A little low on the second pass. However, he sits down on his double
back dismount, probably due partly to his torn ligament on his right ankle." -- CW
"Seems like a strong athlete, since he is not using any athletic tape on that ankle." -- TD
