The field for the upcoming 5th World Stars World Cup, 14-15 May, in Moscow sounds promising.
Russia sends the complete team from the Europeans – except for Ksenia Semenova. And why does the European Champion not compete on vault? We will see four gymnasts from India and altogether 31 female athletes from 14 nations. But still a lot more on the men’s side: 91.
