Show time. The girls are marching into the area …
Last time Worlds were held in Rotterdam (1987), it went:
1st Aurelia Dobre (ROU) 79.650
2nd Yelena Shushunova (URS) 79.487
3rd Daniela Silivas (ROU) 79.200
That was a wonderful surprise when the artistic Dobre finished atop the podium.
This time round the odds are on Mustafina, the first gymnast to qualify to all 4 apparatus finals at Worlds since Khorkina in 1997.
