The Runaway Hilda AU

(amazing cover art done for me by @blagzdeath)

The Runaway Hilda AU is an alternate universe, diverging from the end of Hilda Season 2 - in this timeline, Hilda isn't caught by her mum at the start of The Stone Forest, and instead escapes to Frida's, only to come home to Johanna even more upset, causing their biggest argument yet.

As a result, Hilda decides her mum would be better off without her, and runs away from home to live in the wilderness. Johanna, desperate to find her missing daughter, joins the Safety Patrol, and ultimately becomes deputy leader. Hilda finally comes home after a year away, only to find out that a lot has changed in her absence, and things can't go back to how they were before she left.

The fics of the Runaway AU are written to stand alone, and can be read on their own or in any order. But, here is the timeline as it stands, covering every fic written by me and my amazing little sibling @ultimate-kaisa-simp for this series:

To The Hills (the night Hilda ran away - replaces The Stone Forest)

The 5 + 1 Runaway Hilda AU, Chapter 1  (1 week after Hilda ran away)

The 5 + 1 Runaway Hilda AU, Chapter 2 (3 months after Hilda ran away)

The 5 + 1 Runaway Hilda AU, Chapter 3 (Sonstansil Eve - 6 months after Hilda ran away)

Room For One More, Chapter 1 (Sonstansil Eve - immediately after #4)

Full Disclosure (3 days after Sonstansil Eve)

Room For One More, Chapter 2 (1 week after Sonstansil Eve)

Room For One More, Chapters 3 & 4 (~3 weeks after Sonstansil Eve)

The 5 + 1 Runaway Hilda AU, Chapter 4 (8 months after Hilda ran away)

Two Girls In A Bus Stop Shelter (8 months after Hilda ran away)

Everything’s Changed & Nothing’s The Same (concurrent - Hilda’s 11th Birthday - 9 months after Hilda ran away)

The 5 + 1 Runaway Hilda AU, Chapter 5 (11 months after Hilda ran away)

A completely random thing that sets me off about novel!Johanna is her choice to make the walls completely white. Who does that.

My family? XD My house has white walls (Arctic White specifically, IIRC), and most of the walls in my dad's house were white too. I think that's the least worrying thing about her, sorry XD

The Hilda Novels, Revisited

I didn't plan on making this. Anyone who's read my previous post on this subject will know that I didn't have a good time with the first three of the Hilda tie-in novels, and they put me off reading the Season 2 tie-ins. But, eventually, I couldn't help myself; I have now read all 6 books, and I wanted to go back in light of that and put all of my thoughts in one place.

So, I'm going to re-cover my thoughts on the first three books, and go over my opinions on the second set and what changed between them. I still have plenty I want to say, and a lot of it is still very negative, so a warning in advance; I am still not a big fan of this series.

[pikablob]

To celebrate the end of the year, here's one Behind The Scenes fact for each of my fics:

(barring a few that had nothing interesting about them - some of this I have said before but I'll try and keep this to new facts):

Swim Until You Can't See Land - this was originally going to be two fics, both based on @sarasplenda's really nice headcanons. Summoning Sickness would've been a Wildflowers fic set the morning after The Jorts Incident, where Hilda feels ill and tries to hide it from her mum, leading to everything coming out. Big Sister would've been about Alfur using his nickname for Hilda, and her asking Kaisa what it meant. But in the end I merged both ideas after hearing the song that inspired this fic.

Seventy Times Seven - this fic is actually fluff for a D&D campaign I ran, where the Lady of Pain was trying to rebuild Sigil and the players were trying to stop her because it would mess up the multiverse. I actually really hated the Lady before I wrote this (and in official D&D fluff I still do) but I'm really attached to this version of her,

The Aurora Static - "Makunya" isn't a real Russian name AFAIK; it's a nickname a character in that same D&D world had that I reused, and should mean "little poppy". Looking at it now, I'm 90% sure I botched the diminutive.

There Was A Kindness In Her - this fic breaks a longstanding rule of mine; it's the only Hilda AU I have where Stone Forest/Mountain King happens like it does in canon. All my other AUs either never have Johanna and Hilda's relationship change (Spare Room Safety is most blatant about it) or fix things before the end of Season 2 ("Wildflowers Fics") - the only exception is the Runaway Hilda AU, which diverges after the argument in Stone Forest.

They Wanted A Son - Johanna's parents' apperances are based on Postman Pat and his wife, purely because his wife sometimes looks exactly like Johanna (I actually had to reference her design from the Pat movie specifically to get around this):

Endings Come In Increments - there's a whole cut extra scene in this fic; the original plan was to have Luz get back to the isles and break down in Eda's arms. That's why Eda's in the opening and why it doesn't start with Luz already on Earth. Also this fic is responsible for my pinned post on my main blog; the bad comments were on a reddit post about this fic.

You're Home - it doesn't directly address it, but this fic is meant to be a direct sequel to Blue And Yellow; they can stand alone, so I didn't think it was worth marking them as in a series, but there is one line in this fic that hints at it: “And I meant what I said when I found you,” she continued softly, “when we stopped Andrias; I’m not mad at you. I understand why you wanted to run away.”

Blue And Yellow - this fic literally only exists because @nach0 sent me some of @goodartitude's phenomenal Amphibia art; I actually cried a little at the scene and because of that I had to write it. The detail about it being Marcy's hoodie was also Kamila's idea :))

The Bitter Sting - this is based on an actual bit from the tie-in books; it's just mentioned offhand at one point that Hilda cut herself while trying to get a woodworking badge, and I couldn't get the idea out of my head from there:

(image by @remked :))) - also the knife in that fic is a real one I own, but I just use it for cutting cucumbers.

The Worm Ferned - this fic is named after a filk song about a were-worm called "The Worm Turned"; it has absolutely nothing to do with the fic's content. Worm Fern is a specific thing though; it's the leftmost frame over Hilda's sofa in the apartment (in some episodes it looks more curved & worm-like than others). The name is thanks to @randomwords247 who noticed it while drawing a really cute commission for me (the art at the end of You're Not My Mum).

Spare Room Safety - the ending of this fic, with Frida as the adopted kid asking to sleep with her mum to help her feel safe, was actually re-used from my planned ending to You're Not My Mum, which got changed thanks to the aforementioned adorable art.

You're Not My Mum (And That's Good) - I literally bought the original three Hilda tie-in novels just to write this thing. Thanks to the excerpts I had seen of the books, I was already very iffy about Novel Johanna, but after @trolbergoraclecolumnist described her to me as genuinely abusive I had to write something to fix that and that meant I needed reference. I still have those books; I chose not to donate them or anything partially because I just get super attached to inanimate objects and would feel bad giving them away, but partially so I have reference material if I ever want to write more in this AU. I have also debated getting book 4 (because Novel Bellkeeper and possibly even Novel Victoria could maybe work as alternative adoption routes in a future fic) or the Mountain King novelisation when that comes out just in case it has any details (ranks, weapon designations, protocol stuff) about the Safety Patrol that wasn't in the show.

12 Stands - this fic's concept is much older than the fic itself. It dates back to around the same time as The Cruel Wars (summer 2019) and it basically just sat on the backburner for two years.

Authorisation Void - there wasn't a place to fit it into the fic, so it's not strictly canon, but I do know why Simon came back in this AU; my thought process is that his number was high enough to cause an integer overflow and crash the train's delete process, leaving him orphaned in the train itself (for various reasons in my headcanon the train is basically an overgrown database running Transact-SQL; I have in fact written SQL commands for it for two scenes in my Oregon AU).

After The Fall - a few people have noticed the big change in tone between the chapters in this fic, and that's mainly because I changed the plot late into planning. The original idea was actually to have Gretchen have died in the collapse, and then Gina would meet Nikki while visiting her grave (Nikki would have been visiting Martian Man); I ended up changing it right as I started writing, but I really like it this way.

Rise Again - this fic also has a deleted scene; when I planned it, there was meant to be another train that would pass by after Kaisa left the tracks, which would have been implied to be the Infinity Train (further tying this fic to Trains In The Night), but I ended up feeling it ruined the tone a bit. This is also the most recent fic of mine to mention The Basics of Hyperspatial Spirit Dynamics, which I really need to get back on.

The Author, The Overseer, And The Offer - the theme song of this fic was changed when I posted it. It was actually written (and this whole AU concepted) to Nickelback's Sea Shanty version of Rockstar.

Take The Pain Away - this fic actually took a long time to get written; there's a reason this plotline is mentioned in Checkmate. It was originally supposed to be set after A Day At The Aquarium, until True Colours came along (and now that's changed again). I actually have an old WIP of the original version lying around, back when it was called Dear Sister.

For Lalage's Sake - I very nearly didn't buy the book that this is based on. It was in a nearly-empty WHSmiths, on a really desolate shelf right down in the corner. I ended up going back for the book and going through self-checkout to avoid being judged because it's even more kid-centric than my usual fare.

Checkmate - this was never meant to be posted. I wrote it just to get this scene from Titanomachy down, but a friend of mine said I should put it up to drum up hype for Take The Pain Away, so I did. It is currently considered broad-strokes canon, cause there's a major new moving part I need to work out in Andrias' fall.

The Ones Left Behind - I've talked about the inspiration for this fic before, and how the ending changed, but what I don't think I've mentioned is there's an Owl House reference hidden in it; Frida's chapter is specifically called The Witchling.

You Make Me Feel Safe - the story at the start of this is actually taken almost word-for-word from The Railway Series (Thomas The Tank Engine), just cause I needed a scary story for Hilda to tell and that fit the bill.

You Thought One Day You'd Be Happy, If You Held In All Your Screams - this fic got a lot longer as I wrote it compared to what I originally planned. I genuinely considered cutting this thing off at the end of Grace's first portion, as just an introspection on her after the events of Book 3, but in the end I had to include Hazel. The idea of her making her own way back was inspired pretty heavily by an idea @starlit-lion had, so I'm really thankful for her help on this one (and a lot of my fics tbh; she's one of my best friends and a really good advisor on plot).

Learned Behaviour - that's not the original title. I desperately wanted to call this one 'Problem Child', but I couldn't, because Problem Child is already a fic of mine (the Soul one). This fic also spawned my favourite Hilda fic of all time; @trolbergoraclecolumnist's In Your Arms, so it has that going for it too.

The Girl In The Snow - I've only talked about it with one or two people briefly, but this is actually the first part of an AU comparable in scope to Titanomachy or the Runaway Hilda AU, named Broken Crown. It has unique character designs and multiple arcs planned out, with the idea being a series of stories spanning the entire main continent of Runeterra; I actually have titles for several potential stories in this setting (Betrayal in Demacia, The Piltover Affair, Battle of the Bilgewater, and The Stars Made Manifest). But I'm not sure if I'll ever put the rest of it to paper.

Get Out - I actually think this fic has the weakest Wildflowers moment I've written; I think the reconciliation was handled a lot better in some of my other fics, even Cold Is The Night, but I'm still really happy people like this one.

No For An Answer - this fic was written at a train station in Brighton (incidentally the town where I bought my copy of Hilda and the Mountain King, although that was a different trip) while I was waiting for my train home after visiting the town and seeing my grandparents. I'd actually written off the fic's concept at first, because I didn't think I could pull off the subject matter, but @trolbergoraclecolumnist helped me change my mind (something similar happened with The Bitter Sting).

Hilda And The Secret Of Black Rock - for this one, you need to know a bit about how I write; whenever I need to get a character to sound right, I listen to their voice and try and get it in my head. When characters don't have a voice, I improvise; the result of this is Erin is Hilda pitch-shifted up slightly (I also characterised her with a shorter temper).

WW/blackrabbit_overR_21.02_113.exe - I don't think anyone's noticed this, but the version of Bonnie's app (21.02_113) contains the month it was written (February 2021 - it was posted later); this is cause it's actually taken from the version number of the software I test at work, and we release monthly (113 is completely made up). That being said the code in this is complete bunk; it's my attempt to expand the pseudocode seen in the game over screens in Popgoes and has bits taken from SQL, Windows Shell Language, and Java (specifically "bootstrap started", which is a reference to the old Minecraft Launcher that I use as an occasional running reference).

Two Girls In A Bus Stop Shelter - I actually like this version of Lucy's realisation more than her one in How Did You Know? Also, this fic's title is actually re-used from an old scrapped Oregon idea called Two Girls In A Gas Station Forecourt.

Someone Else - the bit at the end of this fic, where Johanna "hugs" Alfur using one hand because he's that small and knocks the hat off his head with her thumb, was actually inspired by a meme gif, specifically this one (I have no idea who created this sorry I just have it in my images folder):

Nothing's The Same - Tontu wasn't actually supposed to be in this fic; there's a reason he's mentioned as keeping to himself at first, because this was set out as a Gerdanna fic. But I couldn't get Gerda's arrival to work right, so I ended up using Tontu instead, and I think that made the fic a lot better.

Crossing The Divide - this was actually inspired by some fanart I saw which had Twig as a human. I can't find it again now (IIRC I unfollowed the creator because they were really into South Park and I just don't like that show), unfortunately, but it was really cute and it made me want to do an AU where that happened for real. I will say that as a human physically Twig is ~3 years younger than Hilda despite considering himself the older sibling.

Insubordination - this is a rewrite of one of my oldest fics, with the original (still available on fanfiction.net) dating back to 2016; it was supposed to kick off an entire Insubordination-verse that eventually got rolled into my Multiverse crossover before finally being cancelled.

Hearts And Minds - I actually pirated Raya specifically as reference for this fic; I still have it downloaded as a result, although I haven't watched it in a while.

Everything's Changed - this fic marks the first time anyone did art for my fics without already being a friend of mine (although I've had people offer to write for my AUs before), and I really really love what @airborneice drew for it. For a long time that was actually the Runaway AU's unofficial cover art in my notes, before the actual cover came along. Also because I got things slightly wrong and don't care enough to change it, this fic makes Runaway Hilda technically a year younger than her canon counterpart.

How Did You Know? - Trans Girl David was very nearly named Luna; the name just kinda got stuck in my head, but I ended up changing it to Lucy, something similar-sounding but different (taken from the Infinity Train character) because Luna didn't flow well with Hilda and Frida's names.

Trains In The Night - the general vibe of this fic, with the awful apartment and Johanna's struggles of trying to raise Hilda and Simon alone, draws a surprising amount from the Percy Jackson series. Most notably, Martha Laurent was directly based on Gabe Ugliano.

To The Hills - I actually can't reread this fic without crying now; every time I get to the end, and it sinks in that Hilda isn't coming back for a whole year, it gets to me.

Full Disclosure - I don't remember who it was, but someone on the Hilda subreddit discord server actually named the Mayor of Trolberg in this fic for me. Visually in my head I based her off Hester from Mortal Engines, although without the distinctive scarring that makes her who she is which the movie erased.

Cat Wolfslayer: The Axe-Lord's Daughter - I've considered writing a sequel to this fic several times, but I've gone off it every one, because I think there's one big problem; Cat wouldn't join Kipo's group. She has her own family and would go back with the Timbercats at the end of Episode 4, so I decided not to explore that AU.

The House On The Sand - this fic literally changed everything for me; it was the fic that made me realise that the Runaway AU could be an anthology, and it's the only reason the AU is so fleshed out as a result.

Hideaway - my favourite chapter title of any fic is in this; specifically Chapter 3: I Can't Tell You All My Secrets. Like all the chapter titles in that fic, it's a song lyric, but it's specifically the first from Strong, which is Sally's song in the Lightning Thief musical (she actually says it later on in the fic, too). And while this chapter is very much about Sally caring for June and reassuring her, the thing that really gets me is that in the narrative; it's June who can't tell her secrets at this point, not Sally. I just love how well that reversal works.

After Hours - what is there to say about the first and greatest Wildflowers Fic? I've explained the inspiration behind this fic and how much it changed already, but what I'll just add is that I had to rewrite it slightly because I got the layout of Hilda's apartment wrong at first. The original had the flat being across two floors, because I assumed it was, but upon rewatching it's very clearly all on one floor so a staircase became a corridor in the scene where Johanna catches Kaisa.

Tienes mi respeto Naofumi (Tate no yusha reseña)

Muy buenas alphas hoy les traigo otra reseña de mi anterior blog y como no podia de otra forma esta sera una Remke y con su reciente confirmacion del doblaje latino y su inminente segunda temporada empecemos con la reseña de  Tate No Yuusha No Nariagari.

Cuando empece a ver este anime lo primero que cruso por mi cabeza “bien otro isekai mas veamos que tal” y para mi sorpresa este anime que logro resaltar en la temporada a pesar de ser un genero "isekai" genero que a ultimas fechas muchos ya lo relacionan con la palabra generico y repetitivo.

Y si bien no fue del agrado de todos y no fue la adaptación mas fiel para aquellos que siguen la obra original, el héroe del escudo tiene algo en su esencia para que lo hace resaltar y lo hizo uno de los animes mas queridos en las dos temporadas en las que estuvo, aun teniendo como principal competidor en dichas temporadas a Sword Art Online anime ya consagrado y considerado por muchos el rey de los isekai. 

Tate no yuusha no entrego personajes entrañables como Firo y Raphtalia o personajes irritantes y molestos como Malty y Motoyasu, personajes que podrian ser conciderados planos y genéricos como el típico toca pelotas (Malty) o la típica wifu (Raphtalia) pero conforme pasan los capítulos descubres que aportan bastante al anime y que los ames o los odies tienes que reconocer el anime seria muy diferente sin ellos, porque aceptemoslo todos amamos odiar a Malty  y sentimos una inmensa satisfacción cuando obtuvo su merecido y todos quedamos conmovidos con el pasado de Raphtalia, la animación estuvo a la altura aunque no tuvo nada resaltante en este aspecto, su banda sonora me pareció excelente con muy buenos op y ed, en general el anime dejo un buen sabor de boca y enserio agradezco que el estudio se animara a hacer una S2 ya que como muchos saben a estas alturas dicho estudio es mas de las peliculas que de las segundas temporadas.

Calificacion: 10 escudos de 10

La tragedia del surf que sorprendió a una comunidad costera holandesa

Nueva Noticia publicada en https://noticiasq.com/la-tragedia-del-surf-que-sorprendio-a-una-comunidad-costera-holandesa/

La tragedia del surf que sorprendió a una comunidad costera holandesa

Sería un bodysurf de celebración, una ocasión para entrenar juntos nuevamente la noche anterior al inicio oficial de la temporada de verano. Pero hace un mes en La Haya, cinco jóvenes surfistas gregarios y atléticos perdieron la vida en extrañas condiciones del mar, en su primer regreso al agua porque las restricciones del coronavirus los habían obligado a separarse. Joost, Sander, Pim, Max y Mathijs fueron víctimas de un grueso muro de espuma de metros de altura y mares agitados. Los cuerpos de cuatro fueron recuperados en 24 horas. Luego, la semana pasada, vi a los bomberos extender una escalera para recuperar el cuerpo de Matthijs, de 23 años, de las rocas debajo del faro al final del muelle de Scheveningen.

Al ver las olas rompiendo en las rocas, compartí la sensación de incredulidad que aún atraviesa esta comunidad costera.

¿Por qué murieron? Los cinco eran surfistas y entrenadores experimentados. Su escuela de surf dijo que habían programado las lecciones para toda la semana y un blog final publicado unas horas antes de su muerte mostró que querían golpear las olas. El grupo había discutido sobre la espuma y pensó en entrar en otro lugar, dijo otro surfista sobreviviente a sus amigos.

Pero tanto el viento como la corriente habían cambiado rápidamente. Una inusualmente fuerte norte-noreste y una avalancha sofocante de espuma de algas resultaron ser una combinación insidiosa. De repente, estos jóvenes surfistas experimentados y responsables entrenados para salvar a otros no pudieron salvarse a sí mismos. «Solo espero que el momento de pánico frenético haya terminado», me dijo el amigo de la infancia de Joost, Timo van de Ven. Todavía le cuesta aceptar que no volverán.

El servicio de rescate marítimo holandés KNRM dijo que el fuerte viento y la corriente hicieron de su operación «un trabajo complicado».

Cómo la comunidad fue tomada por el dolor Scheveningen es conocida como la capital del surf de los Países Bajos. Es un destino popular que se basa en tormentas cerca de la costa para generar olas decentes y transitables. Vivo a 10 minutos de donde murieron los surfistas. A lo largo del año, observamos a surfistas corriendo hacia el helado Mar del Norte, impulsados ​​por la emoción de atrapar una ola. Se mueven y se sumergen en el horizonte como focas con sus elegantes trajes negros y azules.

«El dolor en la comunidad de Scheveningen es inimaginable», dijo Johan Remkes, alcalde a cargo de La Haya. «La gente aquí entiende mejor que nadie que el mar da y el mar quita, pero la forma en que tantas vidas jóvenes ahora son demolidas y tantas familias y grupos de amigos han sido golpeados de manera cruel». Lo sorprendente de la muerte de estos surfistas experimentados es que estaban haciendo algo tan normal, en un tramo de mar que sabían como el dorso de sus manos. Los amigos se reunieron en los escalones de piedra que conducían a la playa una semana después de su muerte. Los cafés cerrados por la crisis del coronavirus sonaban en sintonía con la multitud de estudiantes. Los surfistas trataron de consolarse, envueltos en sudaderas y abrazarse.

La policía en bicicleta se volvió respetuosamente desde la distancia, lo que permitió a las personas estar juntas cuando necesitaban destacarse, dejando a los amigos sufrir y no preocuparse por las infecciones. «Fue útil sentirse parte de un dolor más amplio, ir allí y estar entre personas que entienden», me dijo un amigo del grupo. Los cinco no solo eran socialmente activos, eran conocidos en toda la comunidad, en todas las edades. Los obsequios junto a un mar de flores fuera de la escuela de surf Shore ofrecieron una foto de los cinco que tocaron tantas vidas jóvenes.

Cinco botellas de cerveza estaban flanqueadas por fotos enmarcadas y conocidas como «RIP, corazones salvajes»; Un poema circulaba en las redes sociales con la línea de apertura, «Las olas son testigos silenciosos en una playa aún más tranquila». Se sintió inusualmente inmóvil en la playa durante días después, como si la conmoción hubiera reverberado en la arena e interrumpido la atmósfera aireada.

¿Quiénes eran los cinco? Joost Bakker, 30 años.

El instructor de surf Joost ha sido descrito por amigos como un surfista estereotipado. Como salvavidas, era muy consciente de los peligros. Se mudó a La Haya para estar cerca del mar, convirtiendo una camioneta para pasar más tiempo en la orilla. Bakker educó a niños autistas y una vez organizó un paseo en bicicleta patrocinado por Noruega a Gibraltar para recaudar dinero para una organización benéfica que apoya a las personas con cáncer. Su amigo, Timo van de Ven, lo conocía desde que tenían 12 años. «Después de la intensa emoción de las primeras semanas, la finalidad es la parte más difícil.

BLOG Jurriën Remkes: vijf jaar Maas

5 jaar Maas! Die jaren zijn voorbij gevlogen en ik mocht er al vanaf het begin bij zijn. In die jaren heb ik van alles mogen spelen, uitsloverige pubers, macho pubers, verliefde pubers en onzekere pubers. Vooral onzekere pubers. En veel dieren, een roze konijn op een hooverboard, een gewone hond, Simba, een varken die een baby was en zelfs een ei dat stuk valt van een muur. En het Beest naast…

CHN and JPN Neck-To-Neck On 2017 Melbourne Individual Apparatus World Cup

On February 25, 2017, the first Individual Apparatus World Cup of 2017 in Artistic Gymnastics has concluded. It started on February 22, 2017 in Melbourne (AUS) as a part of the International Gymnastics Federation’s (FIG) ongoing World Cup series.

Olympic veterans and standout newcomers have shown off their skills to be able to stand at the podium at Australia’s Hisense Arena. Listed below are the top three winners for each apparatus.

Men’s Artistic Gymnastics Results

In the said event, China has started establishing their dominance in artistic gymnastics once again, after having been defeated in the last Olympic Games. Chinese gymnasts tumbled off with three of the five event titles awarded on the first day. On the finals, the Chinese men bagged a silver on floor from the newcomer Mu Jile, another silver and a bronze on pommel horse from Zou Jingyuan and Weng Hao respectively. The gold from still rings has been snatched by Wu Guanhua and Zou Jingyuan who tied at the first place despite being both newcomers, the latter also took home the gold in parallel bars. Unfortunately, they didn’t place any on the top three for vault and high bar.

However, China’s greatest opponent, Japan, is close on their heels. Olympian and two-time Floor World Champion Kenzo Shirai has put down his team gold medal from the Rio Olympics to be able to hold his new medals. He snatched the gold in floor, high bar and vault, finishing with a silver on parallel bars. His teammate Wataru Tanigawa bagged the bronze in vault while Yusuke Saito was awarded the same at high bar.

Although considered underdogs, other countries also had the spotlights shine on them. Turkey won quite a few to represent their country. Ferhat Arican won the bronze on floor and parallel bars while Ibrahim Colak got bronze as well on still rings. The host country, Australia, got two silver medals from Christopher Remkes at the vault and Mitchell Morgans on high bar. Hungary took home the gold on the pommel horse which was won by the veteran Krisztian Berki, once again proving his supremacy on the apparatus after being the 2012 Olympic Pommel Horse champion and not being able to compete in Rio.

Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Results

The Chinese men’s counterparts aren’t as lucky as they are if based on the medal counts, but their country didn’t lack on podium moments in this series. The female Chinese gymnasts bagged just five medals in total throughout the whole event. The gold on vault was snatched by Olympic team member Wang Yan. Liu Tingting and Huan Luo received their gold and silver medals at the podium responsively from uneven bars. Liu, a sixteen-year-old who passed on Rio due to injuries, returned with a vengeance. She also took home the gold in beam and the bronze in floor.

Australian female gymnasts took revenge for their male gymnasts as they accumulated six medals amongst places first to third. 2012 Olympian Emily Little took home the silver in vault and newcomer teammate Naomi Lee took the bronze. Little also has a bronze in beam and a gold in floor, leaving teammate Georgia Godwin for silver. Another teammate and standout Riana Mizzen was the only Australian medalist in uneven bars, a bronze.
