Thomas Bouhail to have surgery

He's going to have surgery on his right shoulder tomorrow and probably won't be able to compete for six months, but he hopes to be ready for Worlds, and medal in floor and vault.

He sees the competition for vault title "the Russian Golotsutskov, the Belorussain Kasperovich, one or two Romanians, and Li Xiaopeng."

Bouhail also spoke to L'Equipe about Yann Cucherat, who also won a European title: "He's definitely the leader of the team. We're constantly learning with him, whether it be about success or failure. He's always supporting us, and so therefore he has a big role in the team. He's an exceptional gymnast who should be proud of having won the title, since he has a young daughter and prepared for this competition without much sleep! But he can always count on the support of his family, and of his team."
