Blythe over at The Examiner did another magnificent job today at the Europeans. Here are the links to each subdivision:

Subdivision 1

Subdivision 2

Subdivision 3

Subdivision 4

Aliya Mustafina of Russia is in the lead after qualifications in the All- Around, she swept the floor with the other competitors, she has a comfortable 3 point lead to team mate Dementyeva. Romanian Diana Chelaru round out the top 3. Its really nice to see gymnasts from countries not that dominate lately like, Seitz from Germany, Croket from Belgium, and some Swiss gymnasts, Kaslin and Steingruber to round out the top 10.
