World Championships Glasgow – FIG WTC Report

It’s well worth clicking over to read the Judging summary report from Nellie KIM. The good ladies of the FIG did a better job than at any previous Worlds in my opinion. 🙂

Shang Chunsong, a true inspiration!

Here are a few highlights.

Qualified Teams and medalists:

• Teams: USA, RUS, GBR, CHN, ITA, JPN, CAN and NED
• Medalists: HONG Un Jong PRK (VT) and SCHAEFER Pauline GER (BB)

The remaining 4 teams’ positions and AA-around gymnasts will be qualified at 2016 Test event
which will be held in Rio de Janeiro April 2016

… new record in participation numbers at World Championships. …

A suggestion for the future competition is to have a “moving” camera on Vault, in order to produce
better videos including the running and the best view of the vault itself. …

For the first time in the training halls, warm up hall, and during podium training … gymnasts had the possibility to use an additional 10 cm soft mat on FX, and a 30 cm “crash mat” on VT. …

Instead of a rotation between two teams, it might be a good idea to rotate gymnasts (e.g if there are two teams AUS and JPN then the rotation should be AUS/JPN/AUS/JPN and so on). …

Installation of the Podium in the “Warm up” Hall helped the gymnasts a greatly in the preparation to the competitions. …
