The United States National Gymnastics Championships is currently ongoing at the Sprint Center in Kansas City Missouri. These are part of the run up towards the World Gymnastics competition, held this October in Stuttgart, Germany, the US Olympic trials, to be held next June at St. Louis, Missouri, and to the 2020 Olympics, which will be held next July and August in Tokyo, Japan. This evening, the finals in the Men's Senior division will be contested. This is a mixture of gymnasts competing in their college kit, and older athletes. The first six rounds took place on Thursday, the final rounds take place tonight. Currently leading the pack is Sam Mikulak. This should be no surprise as he is well known to readers of this space. Sam has been near the top of the elite in US men's gymnastics for several years. In second place is Yul Moldaure, followed by Shane Wiskus and Akash Modi, who share third place. Trevor Howard currently occupies fifth place, with Riley Loos close behind in sixth. Today's featured competition should be exciting and hard fought. If Thursday's competition was a foretaste, they will be spectacular. Lima will be filled with lots of jocks this afternoon, as the last weekend of the Pan American Games in Peru is filled with so many sports finals. Currently the USA leads the medal count, with 240 medals, followed by Brazil, Canada, Mexico, with Cuba rounding out the top five. Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru complete the top ten in overall medal counts. Most recently, Peru has taken the Gold Medal in Men's Karate. Brazil has taken Dressage gold this week, with Mexico taking Silver. Today's competitions include action in at over 20 sports, some finals, some semifinals, such as in Men's Water Polo. Archery, Soccer, Judo, Wrestling, Body Building, Table Tennis and Swimming are but a few of the Men's sports featured today. The English Premier League of Soccer kicked off last night, along with the French Ligue 1, as soccer ramps up across the old continent. The Spanish La Liga begins next week. The inaugural English Goal in the new season was made in minute 8 of the competition between Liverpool, who made the goal, and Norwich. Norwich last with one goal, to Liverpools 4. Today competition continues with games between West Ham and Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Everton, Burnley and Southampton, Watford and Brighton, Bournemouth and Sheff United, and Tottenham vs. Aston Villa. Ligue 1 began with an opening round last night, with Lyons beating Monaco, but continues in earnest with many games on Tuesday.
