2022 European Championships: Men's preview

 From 18th to 21st of August, Munich (Germany) will host the Men's Artistic Gymnastics Championships for both Juniors and Seniors gymnasts, one week after the Women's competition. Our country is sending both a Junior and a Senior team.

The junior team is composed of Cyril Bauduin, Kyano Schepers, Victor Tournicourt, Fynn Van Kampen and Giel Vandeberg. Kyano, Giel and Cyril recently competed at the European Youth Olympic Festival, where they placed 20th as a team. They will try to improve that finish and reach the top 12. For most, it is the first major competition after two years of Covid.

Belgium will rely on experienced senior gymnasts in Munich, with twins Nicola and Glen Cuyle, Noah Kuavita and Luka Van den Keybus. Late addition to the team, Takumi Onoshima will replace Victor Martinez, who sustained a back injury during podium training yesterday. Onoshima will have to compete without having the chance to have tested the competition apparatuses beforehand. But having already competed at Euros in the past, Takumi can count on his experience. The main goal for the team is to reach the top 13, meaning a qualification for the 2022 World Championships in Liverpool later this year. They also hope to reach individual finals.

• August 18th - 10:00-20:00 : Seniors qualifications and all-around final (Belgium subdivision 2)
