Seniors Event Finals

Team USA had a great meet today at the seniors event finals and the last day of competition at the Pacific Rim Championships. Eight gymnasts on each event qualified for finals from the team/all-around competition earlier this week. 

Both USA women competed on bars, beam, and floor and had great routines. Elizabeth Price won gold on bars with a 14.6 even after hitting her feet on the low bar before her dismount. Price also won gold on floorwith a 14.95 and bronze on beam with a 14.625. Kyla Ross had a nearly flawless beam routine and won with a 15.025. Ross also won silver on bars and floor with a 14.35 and 14.5 respectively. 

John Orozco started the meet with a fall on pommel horse but quickly recoved and hit the rest of his routines. He won gold parallel bars with a 15.35 and high bar with a 15.25. He also won silver on rings and floor with a 14.95 and 14.7. Orozco mentioned his rings medal being the highlight of his meet because it is not one of his strongest events but he was proud of his performance. Alex Naddour qualified for event finals on pommel horse and rings but struggled in competition and had a fall on each event.

Juniors Event Finals

At the 2014 Pacific Rim Championships juniors event finals USA put up a solid performance and walked away with 12 medals. The top eight gymnasts from each event qualified to compete in tonight's finals and both men and women competed together. However, there was a limit of two gymnasts per country for each event.

On the women's side, Bailie Key competed all four events and won gold on vault and floor and silver on bars and beam. She had an oustanding competition and totalled four gold medals and two silver throughout her two days of competition at the Pac Rims.

Norah Flatley competed bars and beam and while she had a little trouble on her bar routine, she pulled through and finished with a 14.1, which put her in fourth place, just two tenths out of reach of a medal.

Nia Dennis won silver on vault for a sky high double twisting yurchenko. Dennis also competed on floor but had an uncharacteristic mistake and fell on her second pass of arabian double front. 

Huan Luo of China took the bars gold medal with a beautfiul routine full of China's signature pirouetting and flawless form.

All three junior men from USA also competed. Alec Yoder took home gold on pommel and bronze on rings. Marty Strech received silver on vault and bronze on floor. Davis Grooms took the silver on pommel and bronze on parallel bars. All three were very excited and pleased with their performances and were looking forward to enjoying their last few days in Canada.
