When the 2011 FIG Artistic Gymnastics Challenge Cup series started off last weekend in Cottbus (GER), spectators enjoyed a diverse line-up of former world champions and internationally experienced gymnasts as well as a palette of newcomers debuting as seniors at the Lausitz Arena. The tournament featured … a record participation of some 230 gymnasts.
The medal table reflects a blend of young stars seasoned with the more experienced, titled athletes.
