Rotterdam or Stuttgart 2019?

Both had recently hosted the World Championships. …

Those were the only bids. Stuttgart got it.

The German city, which last hosted the event in 2007 and is staging this year’s Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in September, was picked ahead of its only challenger, Rotterdam in The Netherlands.

The FIG said both cities had similar candidate profiles. …

The competition in Stuttgart, which will be held from October 4 to 13 at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle, will be particularly significant for the team’s participating as the top nine finishers will qualify for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. …

Inside the Games – Stuttgart to host 2019 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships

The top 3 teams from 2018 Worlds will have already qualified for the 2020 Olympics. At this meet the other 9 will qualify.

Now that the initial shock of having team size drop from 5 to 4 is wearing off, people are starting to look at the pros and cons of the new Olympic qualifying system.

Gigi Farid – Why The New FIG Rule Is So Bad Even If You Like It

Overall I think the new system will result in a better Olympics. And it should strengthen the Continental and World Cup competitions.

The IOC likes Gymnastics now. We’ll see if the new system better fulfils the Olympic Charter. Or not.

No doubt there will be unexpected and unintended consequences that are difficult to foresee.

Uchimura – Li Xiao Peng

Kohei competed the 6.2 vault for the second time at the NHK Cup. Much better this time.

Still, that’s his most deductible gymnastics skill on any apparatus. GREAT for anyone else. A little disappointing from Mr. Perfect. 🙂
