Cairo World Cup 2020

I was last in Cairo December 2017, surprised at how quickly the sport has advanced for both WAG and MAG in that nation. Aside from the excellent National Training Centre, they have modern private clubs with great facilities.

As we heard much about during Worlds, one of the missions of IOC and FIG is to develop the sport worldwide.

Good move FIG.

Stuttgart a FANTASTIC host

540 gymnasts from 92 countries. This was the 3rd time Stuttgart has hosted Worlds.

The event was well promoted throughout the city and gymnasts appreciated the great crowds at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Hall.

Spieth equipment was excellent. I never heard one complaint.

Thanks to the volunteers, employees, partners and service providers for putting on such a terrific event.

warm-up Vault landing with FLYSPRING

To safely warm-up before doing the VERY dangerous landing in competition, many male gymnasts use a flyspring.

Great idea. I’ve seen some women do the same warming-up Kasamatsu vaults, including Ellie Black.
