Hungary Troubled by Jet Lag (16th November, 2005)

Krisztian Berki of Hungary admitted he was still feeling lethargic on his second day of training as he struggles to shake off the effects of jetlag but remains confident going into competition.

The reigning European pommel horse champion, Berki has confidence in his own ability.

‘I know how much I have trained, I know my own abilities, so I know I will be fine.’

Berki’s key weapon against strong opponents from China, Japan and Romania is the ‘scissors’ manoeuvre. According to team members, no one in the world can perform the ‘scissors’ like Berki does.
