Japan Cup

Japanese Gymnastics has posted the all-around line up for the Japan Cup. On the men's side, the all-around looks like it will be a great competition, with Hambuchen and Uchimura looking set to challenge for the all-around title at worlds with the retirements of Yang Wei, Paul Hamm and Tomita. Horton is also one of the worlds best, and if the Russians can knock any sense into Deviatovski (Disobedientovski) he can also challenge the best. It will also be interesting to watch the progress of Danell Leyva who looks like he will be one of the stars of the future.

On the women's side the top all-arounder from Beijing is Koko Tsurumi from Japan who came 17th there, however, there will be some top gymnasts on individual apparatus with Olympic Bars gold medalist He Kexin and Olympics beam finalists Li Shanshan and Koko Tsurumi and World Cup gold medalist Lauren Mitchell.
