(3) Artistic Gymnastics Birmingham 2018   - March 21 / 22 -

♦♦ W O M E N's All-around competition (March 22)
Taking the gold was Russia’s Angelina MELNIKOVA at the 2018 Gymnastics World Cup in Birmingham, who although had to fight through some of her routines, packed in the difficulty and look elated to have secured the title with a score of 54.465.
Finishing with silver was the USA’s Margzetta FRAZIER, whose power shone through on floor and vault. A few big wobbles on beam pushed her marks down but she fought back on the floor to take silver.
Great Britain’s Alice KINSELLA has taken bronze in Birmingham just a short distance from where she was born. She scored a total of 53.099 after going through all four pieces of apparatus cleanly. Beginning on vault with a solid double twisting Yurchenko (14.166), she then moved on to bars and had beautiful clean lines with a well-executed performance for 13.600 that left her well placed to fight for the medals at the half way mark. Finishing up on the floor, Alice began with an almost faultless triple twist. She had a little trouble on her double spin but worked the crowd and ended with a strong double piked somersault to score 12.733 and secure herself the bronze medal. 
Sadly, Amy Tinkler (GBR) withdrew from the competition after suffering an injury during warm-up. Amy is being assessed by the British Gymnastics medical team ...

♦♦ M E N's All-around competition (March 21)
Taking the title was Japan’s Shogo NONOMURA who quietly went about his business throughout the competition, producing well executed routines to take the gold with 84.797.
Hot on his heels and taking silver by just the smallest of margins was Russia’s Nikita NAGORNIY with 84.731, who looked set to take the top spot until a fall on high bar on the final rotation.
Great Britain’s James HALL (- from Pegasus) has won bronze in front of a home crowd at Arena, Birmingham with a stellar performance just weeks ahead of the 2018 Commonwealth Games. He scored an all-around total of 83.531 with several strong performances, including a daring high bar routine with multiple difficult release and catch elements and some tricky floor and parallel bar work. His only error came with a deep landing on vault but he kept his composure against tough competition to clinch the bronze medal. * source: BG
