62 nations at Jr Worlds

This weekend in Hungary.

Unfortunately this meet conflicts with European Games in Minsk, Belarus.

The championships will be evaluated and if deemed successful, the junior world championships will be added to the FIG calendar, to take place every other year. …

There will not be a separate Team and All-around final, like at most major events: instead, the points gathered during qualification for the apparatus finals will be added together to determine the Team and All-around awards.

The men’s qualifiers take place on Thursday (thus meaning All-around and Team gold medals handed out that day) and the women’s on Friday.

Saturday sees the men’s Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse and Still Rings medals, along with the women’s Vault and Uneven Bars.

Sunday hosts the men’s Vault, Parallel Bars, and Horizontal Bar, and the women’s Balance Beam and Floor Exercise apparatus finals.
