Nanning 2014 – First Olympic Qualifications round for Rio 2016

Halfway between London 2012 and Rio 2016 these World Championships will serve as the first “sieve” through to the next Olympic Games in Brazil. With rejuvenated teams from all over the world and new International Codes of Points for men and for women, this event will indicate what could happen in Rio in two years’ time.

Only the top 24 teams for men and for women in Nanning will qualify to the second Olympic Qualification stage – the World Championships in in 2015 where the top eight men's and women's teams will qualify automatically for the Rio Olympics. The teams ranked 9th through 16th will qualify for the Rio Test Event, to be held early in 2016. The top four men's and women's teams at the Test Event will earn the final Olympic team berths.

This is the first World Championships since the London 2012 Olympic Games to feature the full gymnastics programme: team, individual all-around and apparatus finals for men and for women.

After Tianjin 1999 this will be the second World Championships hosted by and the fourth held in Asia in the 111-year history of the World Championships launched in Belgium in 1903. The Chinese bid was approved by the FIG Executive Committee in the summer of 2011.

The FIG President Prof Bruno Grandi (ITA) was delighted with the preparation for the event. “After Tianjin in 1999 and the 2008 Olympic Games, I am looking forward to returning to China, a country where gymnastics is deeply rooted in tradition and culture”, he declared.

Nanning is a city of 7 million inhabitants, located in the region in the extreme south of the People's Republic of China. It is labelled the Green City by his inhabitants, due to the abundant lush vegetation.

The legendary Chinese gymnasts Li Ning, was born and raised in this region. He was the revelation of the Los Angeles Games in 1984, winning a total of five medals, including three gold. In 1990 Li Ning started his own sportswear business which is now known worldwide. His brand will be an official supplier of the 2014 FIG World Championships.

About Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus

Vault (VT) Height from the floor is 1.25 metres for women and 1.35 for the men. The vaulting table is placed with the sloping edge facing the runway and is the same for men and women. Each vault is awarded a value according to its difficulty. Judges assess the height, length and shape of the vault and also the exactness of the turns before and after the somersault and the controlled landing within a marked corridor down the centre of the landing mat. Gymnasts perform only one vault for Qualifications and Individual All-around finals, unless they are attempting to qualify for apparatus finals, which requires them to show two different vaults that must show different repulsion phases or take off position from the top of the vaulting table, either forwards or backwards. The top 8 scoring gymnasts then compete in the Vault Final, in which the scores of the 2 performed vaults are averaged. Development of the Vault… In the early nineteenth century there was no separate vaulting horse. The pommel horse was simply turned around and gymnasts vaulted over it lengthwise. The pommels were unscrewed and wooden poles inserted into the holes to avoid any injuries to the fingers when gymnasts pushed off the horse. For many years, the vault assumed this same shape and was used by both men and women, although the vault was placed widthways for the female gymnasts and lengthways for the men. To encourage the development of new vaults the apparatus was redesigned and in 2001 the new ‚vaulting table‛ was first used in world championship competition. The new table, made by Janssen-Fritsen, features a larger contact area for the gymnasts that is slightly sprung and cushioned enabling gymnasts to perform more spectacular acrobatics.

Women’s Apparatus

Uneven Bars (UB) Low bar is now measured from floor to top of low bar as 170cm and to high bar top at 250cm +/- 1cm. The maximum width allowed between the bars is 180cm. Swinging and continuous movements are required on this apparatus. The exercise should include movements in both directions, above and below the bars. Elements with twists and somersaults with multiple grip changes and high flight should be demonstrated to maximise scores. Often a spectacular dismount ends the routine. Development of the Asymmetric bars The asymmetrical adjusting of the bars was introduced at the first World Championships for women in 1934 in Budapest but they were not fully accepted by competitors. In fact, until 1950, female competitors were able to choose whether they competed on bars or the swinging rings! The early stages of bars being an individual apparatus were not without fault. At the 1954 World Championships, the more dynamic gymnastics that was being developed lead to 39 bars being broken!!! Since the early development of this apparatus, the bars have been moved further apart to their modern specifications which allow gymnasts to swing more freely between the bars and create the opportunity for more exciting swinging and releases and bar changes to be performed. 21

13

Balance Beam (BB) Height of the beam from the floor: 1.25 metres. The beam is five metres long and only 10 cm wide. A routine on the beam should be an artistic combination of a variety of acrobatic elements and gymnastic leaps, jumps and turns which all show the gymnasts working at different levels, both close to and leaving the beam. The gymnast should use the entire length of the beam, demonstrating elegance, flexibility, rhythm, balance, confidence and control. The routine is finished with a dismount that should be a series of acrobatic elements and can be very spectacular. The maximum length of a routine on beam is 90 seconds. Development of the Beam It is only since 1934 that the beam has been recognised as a competitive piece of equipment when it was used in the Budapest World championships. At this time, the beam was only 8cm wide! Gymnasts quickly developed more spectacular and daring skills to perform on the beam, which lead to the development of more stable footings and also the top surface being widened to 10cm, which enabled the gymnasts to have a slightly more stable footing. However, it wasn’t until 1964 that the first back flick was performed on the beam by Erika Zuchold of Leipzig. As flicks and somersaults became more common in competitions, the beams were adapted to have an elastic overlay which gave the gymnasts a safer foothold.

Floor Exercise (FX) The floor measures 12 x 12 metres, with an additional safety border of 1 metre. The performance area must have a surface elasticity to allow for power during take-off and softness for landing. Women’s floor exercise is accompanied by music to enhance the performance. Music should not include words but may include vocals in an instrumental style. Routines should combine connections of dance movements with a variety of tumbling and acrobatic elements. The whole floor area should be used with the exercise being varied in mood, tempo and direction. Individuality, originality, maturity, mastery and artistry of presentation are key ingredients for a high score. The Maximum length of a floor routine is 90 seconds for women.

Men’s Apparatus Floor Exercise (FX) Men’s floor focuses more on tumbling, strength and balance; each routine must combine moves such as somersaults, twists and leaps. The whole floor area should be used and the routine should show a personal touch of expression and execution. The Maximum length of a floor routine is 70 seconds for men. Development of Floor Floor exercise was only introduced to World Championship competition in 1930. This was shortly after English and Germans had pioneered sprung floors in the 1920s, which allowed gymnasts to perform more difficult leaps and tumbles.

Pommel Horse (PH) The dimensions of a competition pommel horse are specified as having a height of: 1.05 metres above the mat and Length at the top of 1.60 metres. The distance between pommels however may be chosen by the gymnast but must be between 40 and 45 cm apart. The pommel horse routine should be a smooth continuous chain of circular and pendulum type swings, double leg circles, scissor movements and undercuts using the full length of the horse. Development of the Pommel Horse The word pommel also refers to the front raised part of an equestrian saddle, which rather suggests what the first example of a pommel horse might have looked like!! 22

The oldest description of gymnastics on an artificial horse is over 600 years old. It was written by a Renatus Vegetius, who describes soldiers using a wooden horse for practice. In the 17th century a drill- instructor developed the art of equestrian acrobatics from this description. It wasn’t until the mid-nineteenth century that the two-legged swings became popular and the development of both the apparatus and skills performed upon it have continued until the present day. Today’s exciting pommel horse routines with their fascinating dynamics are hardly reminiscent of the early routines on this piece of apparatus.

Rings (RG) The rings are positioned 2.60 metres above the mats, (including 20cm for the landing mats) and are suspended from a frame, which is 5.75 metres tall. They are hung 50 cm apart and prove a formidable challenge for all male competitors. Ring routines should include a variety of movements demonstrating strength, support and balance. The gymnast should perform a series of swings and holds with both forward and backward elements and the routine should finish with an acrobatic dismount. Development of Rings In the first world gymnastics championships the both swinging rings and still rings which were triangular and circular shapes respectively were available to compete on. At the following two world championships the organisers were unable to decide between the two versions of the apparatus and so rings were simply not included in those championships! The materials from which the rings are made have changed somewhat over time from iron wrapped in thread and covered in leather to wooden constructions. This apparatus has been characterised by the strength elements, the most recognised of which is the ‚Iron Cross” or “crucifix”, which is executed by extending both arms straight out from the sides of the body while suspended mid-air for at least two seconds. This image is often used to symbolise men’s gymnastics.

Parallel Bars (PB) The parallel bars are 1.80 metres above the mats however the distance between the two bars are variable according to the gymnast’s preferences. This is essential as gymnasts perform many handstand elements and swinging movements between the bars and so they must be able to be positioned differently because of the varied width of gymnast’s frames. Like the rings, the parallel bars require a combination of swinging movements with strength or hold parts. The gymnasts should travel along and work both above and below the bars. The exercise should be predominantly swinging. Many gymnasts will also perform release moves in-between the bars, which may include double somersaults. The routine is ended with a dismount and gymnasts must have a clean landing if they hope for a perfect score. The majority of routines feature a double pike dismount. Development of the Parallel Bars The Parallel bars were an invention of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn who designed them for power exercises to train for the pommel horse. Initially there were only a small number of exercises performed on this apparatus however they soon became a piece of apparatus in their own right and have been included in all world championship competitions. The older designs of this apparatus lead to a number of broken poles, but as gymnast’s skills developed so did the apparatus. Bars became more flexible and reacted to the movements of the gymnast, which not only made performances much safer but also gave more scope to gymnast’s exercises.

Horizontal (High) Bar (HB) The bar is 240 cm long and 2.60 metres above the mats; the 28 mm thick bar is constructed from high tensile stainless steel. This piece completes a gymnasts All Around competition when competing in Olympic order, and is renowned for its spectacular highflying releases. Gymnast’s should perform continuous clean 15 swinging movements and must not touch the bar with their body. They are required to demonstrate changes of grip, swinging movements both forward and backward, plus release and re-grasp of the bar. Dismounts are an important part of the total routine and are usually acrobatic and dynamic. Development of the High Bar At the time of its introduction the bar was made of wood and about 8 cm thick. The wooden bar was first stabilised with an inlay made of iron or steel; before wholly iron bars were used which were quite rough. At the beginning of the twentieth century elastic bars made of steel were established. Already in 1906 the specifications for the bars were produced for the bar to be about 220 cm long with a diameter of about 33mm that have only been altered slightly since this time. Like other bar based apparatus the high bar has been made more elastic over time which has enabled gymnasts to perform many spectacular release moves including double saltos with twists which are sure to feature in all high level competitions.

Judging & Scoring Gymnastic routines are evaluated by two sets of judges, D and E Panel judges, working together and supervised by a member of FIG Women’s/Men’s Technical Committee who can intervene in cases of dispute.

D Panel The responsibility of the two D Panel judges is to evaluate the gymnast’s exercise Start Value from the content and construction of the exercise. In the women’s competitions the exercise is assessed for difficulty by calculating the value of the 8 most difficult elements included in the routine. Next, as each exercise on the various pieces of apparatus must be constructed to include certain compositional requirements, marks are awarded to a maximum of 2.50. Finally, the gymnast can increase their score by combining very difficult elements together and performing them without major penalties. In the men’s competitions the exercise is assessed by calculating the value of 9 elements (but maximum 4 elements for the same Element Group), in chronological order inside the best counting plus the value of the dismount; the Element Group Requirements value performed and the connections value, based on special rules on different apparatus. These scores are then added together to produce the D Score. The higher the D score, the more complex and difficult the routine!

Vault Vault, however, is evaluated differently as each vault is awarded a D Score which increases according to the complexity and difficulty of the vault. It is the responsibility of the D Panel to ensure that the declared vault is performed by the gymnast and to inform the E Panel should a different vault be executed.

E Panel The E Jury is made up of 5 judges who are responsible for evaluating execution and presentation errors in a performance by deducting for small, medium and large errors and falls. Every deviation from an ideal technical performance, from slightly bent knees or lack of height in a jump or somersault to a fall from the apparatus (which will lose the gymnast one whole mark), is penalised and the deductions are added together and taken from a total of 10.00 marks. In Beam and Floor exercises, additional penalties are taken for lack of artistry and creativity in the presentation of the exercise.

Other Judge responsibilities

16

In addition to the D and E panels, there are Specific Judges who are responsible for reporting all line faults and time penalties to the D Panel who will deduct the relevant penalty before the Final Score is displayed.

Forming the score: Since the beginning of 2006 when the new International Code of Points for Men and Women were introduced, the so called "open score" replaced the former "" The final score is defined by adding the points achieved for Difficulty (Start Value) to the points achieved for Execution. *Difficulty (or Start Value, SV) - the score is formed by adding the value of the elements/connections performed (D Panel) *Execution (deductions are taken out of 10.00, depending on the mistakes committed during the performance (E Panel) To calculate the final E Score, the highest and lowest scores of the 5 E Panel judges are eliminated and the 3 middle scores are averaged. Difficulty score + Execution score = Final score *Reference Judges: A recent change to judging has been the introduction of 2 Reference Judges. They judge the exercise independently of the E Jury and their scores can be used in circumstances where there is to great a discrepancy from E Jury.
