Organizing Committee for the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships Tokyo 2011:
… We strongly believe that the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships Tokyo 2011 would be the one of the meaningful events to encourage us, Japanese on our long way to recovery.
So far, there are no major problems in the venue, training halls, accommodation facilities where we would host gymnasts and relevant parties from overseas.
There is also no change in schedule for the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships Tokyo 2011.
We are looking forward to see You in Tokyo in October.

I’ve been following a sad court case in northern Australia. The death of adult recreational gymnast, Michelle Maitland, who fell from a tumbling trampoline, hitting her head on the concrete floor.
The final appeal for Townsville Gymnastics Association Inc AND Dean Allan Coggins was turned down. They were found guilty of not providing a safe facility:
(1) Concrete flooring and/or

In the 19th century (around 1830), there were reports of uneven bars in France, but it was only in the second half of the 20th century when this apparatus with the asymmetrically adjusted bars gained its importance.
1861
It was at the first “real” World Championships in Budapest in 1934, which were the very first ones for women as well, when it came into favor as a competition apparatus and two years later, when it had its Olympic debut in Berlin. …
The Olympic Games in Helsinki … pushed the development of the apparatus forward, since it was a full apparatus there. The first Olympic Champion at uneven bars was the Hungarian Korondi.
At the World competitions in 1954 the still non-stayed uneven bars were placed as full and lone apparatus; the growing dynamics of modern gymnastics led to 39 (!) bar-breaks then!
