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.
