The quality of the organization of the World Cup Final appears to top notch.
Based on the trainings pre-competition that took place today, the quality of the show promised to be as high as the finals of a World Championship. The show in tumbling seems to be particularly brilliant based on the performances in training of 2005 World Champion Wang Jiexu (CHN) and his teammate Pan Huanian (CHN).
Athletes from 14 countries will compete.
