Updated - Nanning World Gymnastics Championships 2014 - BBC TV coverage

By

Yay!  First news available now of the BBC TV coverage of the Nanning Championships.  Starting on Tuesday 7th October at 3.00 pm until 5.15 pm BST, BBC2 will be covering the men's team final.  Gymnastics will be covered at the same time every day of that week.  Still waiting to hear what the weekend schedule will be. 

Given the time difference between Nanning and London it looks as though this is delayed live coverage of the events.  If there is further news about live red button coverage I will update this page.  

Further live coverage of event finals has now been confirmed : 

BBC1 on Saturday 11th October, 2.20 to 3.50pm
BBC2 on Sunday 12th October, 4.00 to 5.30pm

Red button coverage begins at 12pm on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and 12.35 on Friday.  Saturday and Sunday times yet to be published.

In the United States, USAGymWorlds.com also has live streaming of podium training and qualifications. This coverage is exclusive to the USA unless you can find IP protection.  Times are US eastern.

Does anyone know if there will be live streaming available anywhere?  Please leave any broadcast information you have in the comments - this will be helpful to everyone, particularly those in territories not covered by the BBC.


Nastiafan has produced these useful schedule summaries so you can follow all the fun.  The times given in the schedule below are local to Nanning.

    USAG always does a live feed of PT, TF, EF. But i know this is geoblocked so if you know this is a problem every year please use a IP address changer from now. Look around and find a good one so you're not panicking the day of competition.

    Here are details of the stateside livestream of podium training and quals, courtesy of USAgymworld.com :

    Dear Gymnastics Fans…
    Dear gymnastics fans,

    Last year, we delivered live webcasts from the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp. It was the first time – as far as I can remember – that live coverage of podium training or qualification had ever been available in the United States.

    We want to once again deliver live coverage of both podium training and qualification from 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Nanning, China. The biggest challenge in delivering this kind of coverage is going into a venue that we are unfamiliar with and working out any issues we may encounter.

    Why am I telling you this? First, so that (hopefully) you’ll bear with us as we navigate any technical issues we may run into – this will be especially important during podium training. And second, so you can plan. Here’s the schedule of sessions we hope to stream from Nanning:

    Sept. 30
    5-7:15 a.m. ET – Men’s Podium Training, Sub. 9

    Oct. 1
    6-7:45 a.m. ET – Women’s Podium Training, Sub. 5

    Oct. 3
    2:30-4:45 a.m. ET – Men’s Qualifying, Sub. 3 (China)
    8-10:15 a.m. ET – Men’s Qualifying, Sub. 5 (Great Britain)
    11:30 p.m. – 1:45 a.m. ET – Men’s Qualifying, Sub. 7 (Japan)

    Oct. 4
    5-7:15 a.m. ET – Men’s Qualifying, Sub. 9 (USA)
    9-10:45 p.m. ET – Women’s Qualifying, Sub. 1 (Russia)

    Oct. 5
    6-7:45 a.m. ET – Women’s Qualifying, Sub. 5 (USA)
    11 p.m. – 12:45 a.m. ET – Women’s Qualifying, Sub. 8 (China)

    Oct. 6
    3:30-5:15 a.m. ET – Women’s Qualifying, Sub. 10 (Romania, Great Britain)

    Live coverage of the medal rounds will be available once again through our partnership with Universal Sports. Fans will be able to watch a feed on USAGymWorlds.com, for free and without authentication, beginning at 7 a.m. ET on Oct. 7 with the men’s team final.

    One note, as the United States rights holders for the Worlds, all of our coverage will only be available stateside.

    Hi Queen Elizabeth, it looks like it has been updated in that the US does plan to cover live feeds of each of the WAG qualifying sessions that has a major team to focus on, so this includes the first session with Russia! For anyone not stateside that knows how to use a different IP to get access I hope everyone gets to watch and that the info they provided is correct! fingers crossed =)

    Feed geoblocking by USA Gymnastics is a real disgrace. Could they explain how that would hurt anybody's business if they authorised gymnastics videos all around the world ?
    This is so stupid...

      This won't be USA Gymnastics' decision. Whoever assigns broadcast rights (be it the FIG, the local organising committee or whoever) will not want to give away exclusive worldwide streaming rights in case other bodies or institutions come forward, wanting to transmit in ither territories. It is a simple matter of money making.

      I share your sense of frustration, however, that these broadcasts are nit made available to us legitimately, worldwide. As a ling time fan I would be happy to pay the FIG a modest subscription to secure access to online streaming of podium training, quals, and World Cup competitions that are nit covered in my territory. Surely such an arrangement can't be far off?

More thoughts on US gymnastics, Karolyi - and Zaglada

By
I’d like to add some thoughts to my earlier post about USA gymnastics and Bela Karolyi:  1. What Bela did, he did. He would agree that his actions were his responsibility. 2. Abusive relationships in USA gymnastics (and no doubt elsewhere) pre-existed Bela’s move to the USA and still exist today. 3. Harsh training existed and exists in all of the ‘artistic’ sports and dance-related forms - eg ballroom dancing, ballet, ice skating, circus.  The training involved in most of these activities is founded on an assumption of the benefits of early specialisation.  It revolves around  ‘ideal’ forms, shapes and postures that are difficult to achieve without early years training - women especially.   4. Wherever prodigious early talent exists, there are predators whose main desire in life is to take advantage of that talent - music, entertainment, maths, sport.  The boundaries very easily become confused.  Who owns the talent?  Who decides how many hours to work, at what level?  FOR WHOSE BENEFI

Komova should have won!

By
It was a very tight battle in the North Greenwich arena today, with American Gabby Douglas beating out Viktoria Komova by a mere 0.259 points (see results below) and the legendary Aliya Mustafina sealing her comeback from that career-threatening injury with a well deserved bronze medal. Yes, she suffered a fall from beam after her Arabian somersault but elsewhere she was at her best, a real endorsement of the work of the Russian coaches in nursing her back to almost-top form since that fateful day in 2011. Komova had a faultless competition apart from a step on landing her Amanar vault. Frankly, she must feel utterly shattered after coming second once again by a very small margin to an American who was treated very generously by the judges. Komova soared and took every beam move to the max, rounding off with her rare double Arabian dismount in fine style; Douglas literally sidled along the beam, seeming frightened to take her feet off the apparatus for all but her somersaults.

RIP Bela Karolyi

By
RIP Bela Karolyi. We were all mesmerised by the gymnastics that Nadia Comaneci brought to the world.    Some of us wanted to be like Nadia.    Others wanted to share her glory. When Kerri Strug saluted the judges with a hop and a cry of agony, thousands of adults cried for joy, felt inordinate pride that a love of country had inspired such courage and strength.   When generations of elite gymnasts, many of them gold medal winners, spoke out about the abuse they had experienced whilst practicing their sport, those thousands and millions of cheering adults didn’t stop appreciating the gold medals. They did start to look for someone to blame, someone who could take responsibility for the entire systemic nastiness that enabled the abuse to take place.    Some chose the man who came to fame as Nadia Comaneci’s coach, and went on to shape elite gymnastics training in the USA, Bela Karolyi. But who facilitated and enabled Karolyi?    Who endorsed the training that earned the medals?   It was
