2015 World Championships – Glasgow, GBR – WAG General Report
Participation and the results
This World Championships was qualification for the first 8 teams and the apparatus medalists to the XXXI Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (BRA).
Qualified Teams and medalists:
- Teams: USA, RUS, GBR, CHN, ITA, JPN, CAN and NED.
- Medalists: HONG Un Jong PRK (VT) and SCHAEFER Pauline GER (BB)*
The remaining 4 teams’ positions and AA-around gymnasts will be qualified at 2016 Test event which will be held in Rio de Janeiro April 2016.
Compared to the 2014 World Championships in Nanning (CHN) there were more gymnasts registered at the 2015 World Championships in Glasgow (GBR). An increase from 250 gymnasts to 285 gymnasts. This sets a new record in participation numbers at World Championships.
Judges Review Session, Judges' Draw and JE
There were 94 judges (including 8 D-Panel Judges and 8 Reference Judges) representing 67 countries.
The judges’ Instruction was very informative, focusing only on critical updates. The draw for the R and E - Panel judges was clearly presented and carried out step-by-step according to the presented procedures. The list with the judges’ assignments for the competition phases were immediately posted on the screen throughout the draw process, then subsequently printed and forwarded to Longines.
For the first time the judges were sitting on the podium right underneath the first row of spectators and outside the FOP.
The results of the evaluation of the judges’ work will be announced after the next WTC meeting and then conveyed to the judges and their federations.
Longines and Ircos Video Systems
At this time the Longines and Ircos system worked very well. Following the podium training, small adjustments were made in the layout of the D-judges’ entry pad. The E and R judges in general were very happy with the new layout and system of the pad. During C-I there were only 2 mistakes in the deduction entries which were corrected immediately.
Following the decision of the FIG/EC the rule regarding “blocking” the D panels’ score was applied (the system automatically blocked the score, when the D judges’ score was higher than the D score of the AS).
The WTC members are very grateful to the “Longines” and “IRCOS” teams for their help and support.
2015 World Championships – Glasgow, GBR – WAG General Report
The location of the Hotels, Competition and Training Halls, was the best. There was almost no need for transportation during the competition. Participants could chose to ride on a bus or to walk to/from the competition venue.
Conclusion and thanks
On behalf of the WTC, I extend our heartfelt thanks and warm appreciation to Mr. Alan Sommerville OBE , Chairman of British Gymnastics Association, Mrs. Jane Allen, CEO of British Gymnastics Association, Mr. Colin Hartley, Championships Director, Mr. Matthew Greenwood, Competition manager and all LOC staff members, for providing first-rate protocol and hospitality, for great and innovative competitions.
The volunteers fulfllled their responsibilities in a very friendly and professional manner.
We would like to extend a warm thanks to the Government of the Glasgow City for their contribution to a successful staging of the WC’15 and for the excellent preparation and organization.
In addition to their participation in the competitions, the gymnasts and officials also had the chance to visit cultural and historical places in the Glasgow City, to experience a little bit of the Scottish folklore.
It was a pleasure to work with Ms. Karen Hofen, Mrs. Maria McLoughlin and Ms. Glynis Tovey,
WTC and judges attaché, who arranged the hospitality for the WTC and the Judges extremely well.
Our gratitude is also conveyed to the FIG Office, especially Mr. Nicolas Buompane, Ms. Céline Cachemaille, Ms. Terhi Toivanen for their assistance, confidence and support.
We are very grateful to FIG President Prof. Bruno Grandi and the Secretary General Mr. André Gueisbuhler, to the members of the FIG Authorities, in particular Mr. Michel Léglise and Mr. Peter Vidmar (WAG Jury of Appeal), for their support and help during all competition’s phases.
I warmly thank the WAG judges and WTC colleagues for their conscientious cooperation and team work during the competitions.

Inquiry: None
Notes: Due to the new arrangement of the panels, the view of the judges was excellent. Following should be considered for the future: The position of the line judge was too far/low - it would be better to be closer or at least higher. The judges R2, E5, E4 (left to the secretary) might not see possible falls or hand support at landing if this happens close to the table, so the position of the AS and E4 could be switched.

- Discipline deductions: 1 gymnast did not present herself at the end of the exercise.
- Comments: Overuse of elements from the same group for some gymnasts. When a kip performed after a Shaposhnikova element, it looks like an empty swing. Couple gymnasts performed 2.202 (front support on HB - stoop with flight or free straddle forward over HB) which fulfill CR #2.

2015 World Championships – Glasgow, GBR – WAG General Report
- Assessment of the Judging
This evaluation led to the following outcomes: Based on the JE of CI (individual Judges’ scores were compared with the Control E- Scores during competitions) a verbal warning was issued to one judge, and she has been removed from the draw for the next phases of the competition. Shortly after Competition - I, the WTC carried-out a video evaluation of the selected exercises (according to the JEP rules) as well as all routines where a country had a judge in the Panel at the respective apparatus and the routines where the R-judges’ score changed the Final score. All the exercises (100%) from C-IV, C-II and C-III were evaluated by the WTC. Some judges showed “Small or medium” bias for a gymnast from their own country.
Generally speaking the Judges were very consistent in the evaluation of the exercise and as a result, the ranking of the gymnasts was correct.
The position of the judges helped a lot to have a common view of the mistakes, and therefore the deductions were closer to each other and it led to good results in the JE.
Unfortunately it was not possible at this time to avoid “Ties” on UB.
