MCSMaria's Artistic Gymnastics Blog

It's all over. Gymnastics at the Rio Olympic Games concluded on third and final day of event finals. The last of the medals was handed out today, the last routine was performed. The Olympics are over for another four years. The memory is still fresh, so let me recap the final day of artistic gymnastics at the Rio Olympic Games and we can relive all the gymnastics glory.

Long live the King. Kohei Uchimura cemented his status as the king of men's gymnastics, winning his second Olympic all-around title, narrowly beating out Oleg Vernaiev of the Ukraine.

Maybe Seth Macfarlane is a closet gym nerd.

Like Simone Biles, Sam Mikulak successfully defended his national title this weekend at the P&G Championships.

Who says guys can't do beam? If you're Dom Palange, a coach at UCLA coach Chris Waller's gym, Gym Jam, you occasionally pass the time by learning to throw skills on the balance beam (mostly on the low beam).

At 33-years-old, Romanian gymnast Marian Dragulescu is making a go for Rio.

In hard economic times, there are bound to be casualties.

Kohei Uchimura is pretty much "Mr. Men's Gymnastics". He wins almost everything and every male gymnast in the world, heck the galaxy, dreams of beating him one day. Sometimes, I wonder if they give him a gold for simply breathing in the arena. The person that manages to beat him at something is McKayla Maroney who does a higher Amanar (Shewfelt MAG) than he does. I wonder if he loses sleep at night with that fact? If I could only do a higher Amanar than McKayla Maroney
