World High Bar Final 2010 Rotterdam: Epke Zonderland

null

Typically we select "Routine of the Week" from videos filmed by the gymnastike camera at events that we cover from down on the floor. However, this routine was so thrilling that I thought I'd make an exception! The Flying Dutchman, Epke Zonderland, brought the house down with this high bar routine during the 2010 World Championships High Bar Final.
Reasons why this routine is awesome: This set had at least 2 upgrades from the routine he showed in the qualification rounds, he was the only guy in the final to connect 2 kovacs skills, AND he handled the pressure of competing in front of a come crowd with high expectations. This was by far the loudest the crowd got all week in Rotterdam and it was truly a memorable moment.
In my opinion, he should have won gold. At the very least, we'll award him the title of Gymnastike Routine of the Week!
