No rest of the wicked (or, at least, no rest for those who want to get as many of their predictions out there before the competition gets too far in and people start to think that I’ve made them after the event! I promise that’s not the case, I’m just a slow typer so catching up with the blog posts takes longer than it should!
Recently Commonwealth Games have seen England top the Artistic Gymnastics medals table, and the same could well happen here, even with the likes of Max Whitlock or the Downie sisters. England still have many medal chances, including the return to the Commonwealth Games of Claudia Fragapane, who took 4 golds in Glasgow but has suffered a serious of injuries since then.
Other countries still have serious medal chances. On the men’s side, look out for the Georgious from Cyprus – Ilias and Marios (who will look to defend the floor and parrallel bars titles he won in 2018). Australia and Canada will always be dangerous although Canada’s team is without some of their very top stars, such as Ellie Black.
In regards to the Rhythmic Gymnastics, I have a confession to make – I know almost nothing about the sport. A cynical person would say that’s probably true of most of my predictions. To them, I say pffft. But with Rhythmic Gymnastics, it is certainly true. So take those predictions with a huge grain of salt. If I get them right, it’ll be more luck than judgement!
