The first World Championships after the Olympics I call the “unimportant” Worlds.

Balance Beam Situation explains why.

That said, I’m going.

Worlds 2013 in Antwerp looks to be really entertaining.

There’s no Team competition, so nations can send the individuals with the best chance of qualifying for a Final. By 2014 it will — again — be all about Team.

Uchimura will again be the man to finish second behind. He was happy with his performance this weekend at NHK Cup.

It sounds like Ryohei Kato has also confirmed an AA spot to Worlds 2013 for Japan.

Balance Beam Situation likes Flare, as well, though the women’s Code of Points is using Flair.

Norberts GT-300 Ultra Dome is my favourite mushroom. $310.00

Add the Optional Pommel Top kit. $295.00

Both can be used in the gym or at home. As can their Low P-bars for gymnasts under 100 pounds. $189.00
