The FIG have announced that the 2014 World Gymnastics Championships are going to Nanning, China. It was reported that Nanning was the only bidder but the announcement was 6 months late with additional negotiations. The event is scheduled for the 3-12th of October! Surprisingly, This is only China's second Worlds, following the 1999 Tianjin Worlds.
The event is being held at the Guanxi Sports Center!

CHINESE CHAMPS:)
Hong Kong was the stage for the Chinese Individual Championships. No Teams just the girls and boys doing it for themselves. The Hong Kong National Team was also included in the event.
The All-around competition went to 2009 World Beam Champion Deng Linlin. Deng only competed a 1/1 (full) twisting yurchenko on vault but it was enough to secure her Gold. Huang Huidan was the second place finisher. Chen Shiuhua won the bronze medal.
In the women's vault, National Champion Li Yiting showed that she wasn't ready to give her Champion Vault title away yet, blowing the field away with a 14.613 Average. Angel Wong couldn't answer to that level of Vaulting but still managed to get a Silver medal on home turf! 2010 Pacific Rim Vault Finalist Jiang Tong won the Bronze!
Peiru, an upcoming junior, manged to pull out an amazing 14.925 Bars set and she also blew away the field. Huidan was hot on her heels but 14.650 is still a great score for silver! Xiao Kangjun, the Universiade competitor, was the bronze medalist.
In Beam,
1. Huang Huidan
1. Feng Xiao
3. Xie Biying
Floor,
1.Deng Linlin
2. Lou Nina
3. Li Shanshan
Shame for Angel Ying Wong who placed 4th. :'(

MARSEILLE MASS!
The Massila Cup was the most exciting Gym event this week, I would say.
Russians, French, Canadians, Belgians and more were all here!
In the teams,
Russia stormed to victory (not surprisingly) above France in second. The Canadian girls pulled out a Bronze medal performance.
In the all-around, It was the golden girl Viktoriya Komova who took the gold medal. I haven't seen any coverage but I've heard she performed a cracking beam set! Anyway, It was the Victoria's day because Victoria Moors, an uprising Canadian, managed to get a silver medal all-around. Breaking the chain, was Australia's Emily Little. She had a rough time at the DTB AA but not here. Bronze.
