Since I found out the BBC will not be covering the Europeans I've been trying to find websites where I can watch it live online. On a forum there was a comment reporting that through this link on the TVSLO2 Slovenian channel you will be able to watch it live on Saturday.
There is also the possiblity on the Romanian Tv Channel TVR2 online here that the gymnastics will be on I presume for the finals on Saturday ans Sunday, but I thinkyou have to download a specific player perhaps te VLC player.
If any1 knows anywhere else where I can watch it live please could you let me know - Thanks!

Personally I hope Becky Downie wins the All Around because I'm British, but if not I want Sandra Izbasa to win if she does 4 pieces if not maybe Semenova. For vault I think Kaeslin will win but I hope Dufournet performs well enough for a medal in vault, bars or floor. I want Beth Tweddle to win bars but I'm not sure about her consistency and handstands! So maybe Koval or Semenova will win but there are lots of possibilities. The Beam final will probably come down to consistency so I think a Romanian will win or Semenova. As long as Izbasa hits on floor and is in better shape than at Jesolo I think she should win but there will be other contenders like Bui, Tamirjan and the Russians if she makes mistakes.

Vanessa Ferrari
International Gymnast reports that Vanessa Ferrari may still compete at the European Championships even though she is not on the official roster. Coach Enrico Casella told IG on Saturday "Vanessa is [doing] very well in her recovery process and is not yet decided if she will compete or not in Milan," said Casella, who trains Ferrari in nearby Brixia. "We'll make a decision at the last minute, and it may be possible to make a big surprise to everyone."
This year Ferrari has competed Vault, Bars and Beam in Serie A for her club Brixia.
There is also a new book called "Polvere di Magnesio" ("Chalk") available that features stories from lots of Italy's famous gymnasts and their personal struggles, more information here.
