The second serie A took place on the 3rd March. The results were:
1. Brixia Brescia 248.650
2. Ginn. Lissonese 241.150
3. Gal Gym Team Lixonum 228.250
Vanessa Ferrari competed for her club Brixia and there are a few videos of her bars and beam routines from the first Serie A in February. Vanessa is still recovering from injury and is still not in full training. Hopefully she will improve her routines before the Europeans. She was only supposed to compete bars but decided to try beam and vault. The full article from the 1st Serie A with Vanessa's comments in Italian is available here:

Brazilian and Romanian teams for jesolo 2009
The Brazilian team will be represented by Seniors: Ana Claudia Silva, Ethiene Franco, Bruna Leal, Khiuani Dias, Daniele Hypólito, Priscila Cobello and Juniors: Anna Caroline Cardoso, Nicolle Beltrame, Janaina Silva, Nadhine Ourives, Leticia da Costa . I dont know much about the juniors but there are a few videos around.
The best junior is Janaina Silva who has a very powerful 1 nad 1/2 yurchenko and double arabian on floor.
Nicolle Beltrame seems to have very good form but not the highest difficulty.
Out of the seniors Ive always liked Ana laudia Silva but new senior Bruna Leal is a good allrounder and recently placed 9th at the massilia cup.
The Romanians will be represented by Seniors: Sandra Izbasa, Anamaria Tamirjan, Diana Chelaru, Daniela Druncea, Gabriela Dragoi and Juniors: Amelia Racea, Raluca Haidu, Diana Trenca. Anamaria Tamirjan has been injured since the Olympics so it will be interesting to see her new routines. Chelaru is a first year senior who doesnt have high difficulty but Nicolae Forminte has said he expects good things from her and Amelia Racea has just competed at the American Cup and needs to improve her bars and form but has huge potential.

GB Team for Jesolo 2009
British Gymnastics has announced the team. Junior Gymnasts: Danusia Francis, Nicole Hibbert, Jennifer Pinches, Niamh Rippin, Jocelyn Hunt and Ruby Straw. Senior Gymnasts: Rebecca Wing, Hannah Whelan, Rebecca Downie, Marissa King, Laura Jones and Beth Tweddle.
I'm not sure what events Beth will be competing but I will try to find out. The team will be using this competition as preparation for the European Championships in April.
Danusia recently had success at the AYOF with 1 silver and a bronze. This is her best apparatus: Beam score 14.575.
I also hope that Becky Downie is in better shape than what she looked like at the American Cup as I think she could do really well for GB this cycle.

Jesolo 2009
This year it is on March 14 and it's going to include Senior and Junior teams from Italy, Great Britain, Brazil, Romania and China. There will be 4 Junior and 4 Senior gymnasts in each team. The Senior Italian Team has already been named as Vanessa Ferrari, Lia Parolari, Emily Armi, Serena Licchetta, Paola Galante and Elisabetta Preziosa. I love Paola's style and flexibility. I think she will be a great addition to the senior team.
I also like Serena Licchetta's original floor routine, although the difficulty needs to be increased.
Welcome
This blog will try and cover as much European Gymnastics news as possible especially stuff that is not made available on other blogs and websites.
