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.

    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?

Aliya Mustafina - 'each medal is very special'

By
'I'm very happy that everything turned out well today  ... Each medal is very special.  The UK team made mistakes, so there was a wide margin [of victory]... But naturally, [what I did] is not enough for the Olympics.  I prepared well for beam and bars but I am not ready for floor, I stepped up to help the team. ... To be honest, I did not look at the scores [when asked how the team reacted to the 6.5 gap before the final apparatus].  Gelya (Melnikova) is a good girl, she did everything and did not falter ... Seda fell on quite a complex element.  There is more work to do, but everything else went well.' [About a protest taken by the coaches on her beam score]. 'I am used to my protests being rejected, everything is normal!' Via vk.com I n other news , the UEG has confirmed that Spiridonova will replace Melnikova in tomorrow's bars final. No reason is given, but it is generally considered that Dasha has a better chance of gold.  This decision also means tha...

Who really won the WAG All Around?

By
You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here .  This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances.  It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking.  A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all. I have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around.  The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected.  I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands.  My, how I wish we could have seen a similar document for the Tokyo World Championships. I wonder if anyone can explain how, if the FIG's Code of Points is so objective and fair, it is possible to come up with two different results using two differ...

Simone and the others - results and reflections

By
In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...
