Gymnast.com has a great post about Glen Ishino. Included are three videos from his preparation for the PAGU Championships held last month in Argentina.  Andrew Thornton does a great job of analyzing the videos and providing positive feedback for just how good Ishino is.

Thornton also went on to analyze Ishino’s achievements over the past few years at the club level.  He puts things into perspective when comparing his 2008 VISA junior performance to the seniors…

…”his performance at USA’s was so dominant that he managed to win FOUR out of the six events, and placed 2^nd on the other two!  Just as I did with some of our junior women stars, I decided to compare his scores to the senior competitors, since they were competing under the exact same rules.  The junior men just compete one day, but if we doubled Glenn’s all-around total of 87.15 from USA’s, his two-day total would have placed him 11^th in the senior division…”

This is good stuff, Andrew.  Thanks for posting your story.
