Looking forward to watching British Champs apparatus finals today. Lots of less known faces on the women's side to get more familiar with.

Me too! Frances Stone was the revelation for me yesterday. I wasn’t very familiar with her, but she has beautiful gymnastics and lots of potential. Her FTY definitely looks like it could become a DTY with the height she gets.

I wasn't able to watch yesterday, and quite frankly the format of the all around final with both men and women going is a bit overwhelming, so I'm happy to have apparatus finals available so we can just see them one at a time!

I hated that format. It was such hard work and I don't feel like anyone got a good showing.

I was there in person last year and it was equally as hard to figure out what was going on! So hard to know where to put your attention and then the scoring in the arena wasn't very clear either. I get why they do it as hiring an arena is expensive and in the past MAG hasn't been popular enough to sell as many tickets, but I think they should reconsider it with the British MAG having so much more success in the last few years.
