The logic of the two upcoming Swiss meets seems to be this: As long as everyone’s in Europe and everyone’s in shape, let’s have a fun boy-girl partner competition!
It’s good logic. The premier Swiss gymnastics events — the Arthur Gander Memorial and the Swiss Cup — are both happening this week. At Arthur Gander, to be held in Chiasso near the Italian border, men to choose four events to perform on, while the women compete on three. …
Many of the same competitors will then travel north to Zurich to compete in the Oct. 31 Swiss Cup, the most prestigious mixed pairs competition in gymnastics. …
It will be interesting to see the Chinese duo — 2008 triple Olympic gold medalist Zou Kai was held off China’s World team, and Zhang Yelinzi is one of the country’s young up and comers.
