On the final day of the Cottbus World Cup, Canada's Kristina Vaculik came out as the big winner, adding a gold on floor (in a tie with Marta Pihan-Kulesza of Poland) and a silver on beam to the gold she won Saturday on bars.

Russia's Tatiana Solovyeva took the beam title, while Matthias Fahrig (Germany), Yosuke Hoshi (Japan), and Epke Zonderland (Netherlands) earned gold on vault, parallel bars, and high bar, respectively. Full results are on the official website.

Videos:

• Solovyeva on beam (Nice round-off to two foot layout series)
• Vaculik on floor
• Pihan-Kulesza on floor (Interestingly, she does no back handsprings in her back tumbling)
• Solovyeva on floor
• Fahrig on vault
• Hoshi on p-bars (Impeccable form throughout the set)
• Zonderland on p-bars
• Zonderland on high bar

Gymnastics legend Oksana Chusovitina returned to high-level competition this weekend by winning vault at the Cottbus World Cup, held in Cottbus, Germany. Chusovitina is coming back from a torn Achilles that kept her out of competition in 2009, and many feared might finally lead to her retirement. The 34-year-old has competed in five Olympics; her first, the 1992 Barcelona Games, was held the same year current world all-around champ Bridget Sloan was born!

Though Chusovitina competed slightly watered-down vaults (front layout full, Tsukahara 1.5), and fell on her second vault, she looks like she could again challenge the best in the world on that event, perhaps later on this year. Here's video of her competing in finals.

Other event winners at Cottbus were Kristina Vaculik (Canada) on bars, Marcel Nguyen (Germany) on floor, Saso Bertoncelj (Slovenia) on pommel horse, and Samir Ait Said (France) on rings. The remaining two women's events and three men's events will be contested tomorrow.

American Rebecca Bross and Russian Maxim Devyatovsky won the all-around titles at this year's American Cup in Worcester, MA. Bross was the favorite on the women's side, and breezed through the first two events, competing a solid Yurchenko double on vault, and a clean and aggressive bar set (high Jaeger, stuck full-in dismount).

On beam Bross had to save a full spin down on one knee when her foot missed, but made her standing Arabian and Arabian double front dismount (big step). She performed a new routine on floor, with an upgraded final pass -- back 2.5 punch front full -- and has impressive tumbling on her other passes as well (front layout to double front mount; back 1.5 to punch front double full). Bross ended up with the top score on three events, and tied for second on vault.

American teammate Alexandra Raisman was second all-around, and earned the highest score on vault. She also showed some great potential on beam (great double Arabian dismount) and floor (powerful back 1.5 to Arabian double front mount). It looks like she could upgrade her other floor passes (triple full; double tuck; double pike) pretty easily.

Men's champ Devyatovsky was solid on every event, and topped American Jonathan Horton in the end (90.600-90.150) because of Horton's missed parallel bars set. American Chris Brooks took third, earning the highest scores on floor, high bar, and parallel bars. (Nice stuck front layout to punch double front and stuck full-out dismount on floor, great lines on parallel bars and high bar).

One final highlight of the meet: American Kytra Hunter did an exhibition floor routine and threw an amazing full-twisting double layout mount. Check it out here.

Thirteen-year-old Lexie Priessman grabbed the all-around gold at the first annual Nastia Liukin Cup with a score of 38.400. (The level 10 scoring system was used, so a 10.0 was the top score on each event). Priessman (Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy) is a great performer and throws some awesome skills, too -- including a full-twisting double layout and a full-in dismount off beam.

Kassandra Lopez (Gym World East) was second with a 37.675, while Diandra Milliner (Folger's Gymnastics) was third with a 37.400. Lopez has committed to Utah and Milliner to Alabama, and both seem to have bright futures in the NCAA. Milliner nearly stuck her Yurchenko 1.5 on vault and throws a beautiful piked full-in on floor, while Lopez was remarkably consistent, scoring between 9.375 and 9.450 on every event.

Fourth went to Gabrielle Douglas (Excalibur) who did an impressive standing full on beam and had beautiful lines and a gorgeous Tkatchev on bars.

Full results are up on the USA Gymnastics website, and I believe that the live video coverage will be archived on UniversalSports.com.
