GOLD2012 (U11964676) posted Jul 30, 2008 Louis and Danny have a great chance of getting to the Pommel Final and then on the day you never know, Danny also has a good chance of doing well All round and hopefully will make the final 24.With the Junior Men's Team taking the European Championship Title this year ahead of Russia, the Men's side are definately on the move. The Juniors coming through to challenge Danny and Louis for a 2012 berth are definately there. How far they can go is another question, it is always difficult in any sport to get that transfer from Juinor to Senior level. This obviously brings up the funding issue, with the proven medal winning quality potential we now have, will UK Sport back them with a Centralised System? Look what this has done for Cycling? GB will never have a better chance of not only qualifying for 2012 but winning medals, due the coaches and coaching set up and the quality of the gymnasts we now have.
