Any comments, suggestions or feedback on this guide can be provided to: Vera Atkinson Media Specialist British Gymnastics E: [email protected] 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 Glasgow 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 China 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 Beijing 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 Guangxi 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. 2 2014 Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, Nanning CHN Event Dates: The event will be held between 3rd and 12th October 2014.

  • Harrold and Tunney Make World Championship
    04/10/13: Great Britain’s Ruby Harrold and Rebecca Tunney placed 17th and 19th in the women’s all-around final at the 2013 Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in Antwerp. Both girls, competing in their first World Championships, were hampered by problems on beam early on in a competition that was won by American Simone Biles (60.212) from teammate Kyla Ross (59.332) with Russia’s Aliya Mustafina taking the bronze (58.856). The British girls were in the same group and began on the beam. Rebecca had a long wait on the podium to begin her routine, starting with round-off straight she couldn’t quite stick the landing and fell; a good double pike dismount scored her 11.966. Ruby followed up and unfortunately also had difficulties, her flick layout was out of line and she couldn't hold on and with another fall on her change ring she scored 11.066. On the floor Rebecca stepped out on the first of her explosive tumbles but fought back beautifully to perfectly stick her remaining passes ending with double pike and scoring 13.000. Ruby produced an outstanding floor routine, the huge crowd clapping her along, she landed each of her tumbles dead to score her an impressive 13.700. On vault both girls performed the double twisting Yurchenko, Rebecca landing perfectly to score 14.866 and Ruby, with a small pace back scored 13.900. Finally on bars, Rebecca Tunney started off well but couldn’t quite make it over giant half and fell, she jumped back up to finish strongly for 13.033 and a total of 52.865.
