The Arturo Gander Memorial Cup comes back for it’s 29th year this October. The event will be held on the 31st of October at the Palapenz di Chiasso in Chiasso, Switzerland. This year, the competition will debut a new format as explained by Gymmin’ Miel:
A total of 10 Men’s Artistic Gymnasts and 10 Women’s Artistic Gymnasts are hoped to participate. For the MAG participants, Rounds 1-4 will see all MAG gymnasts compete on a single apparatus each round, of which they choose. For the Women, Rounds 1-2 sees all Gymnasts take part, competing on a single apparatus each round, and as with the Men, the apparatus they compete on is their choice. Round 4 for the Men and Round 3 for the Women is the Finale round, and sees the top six gymnasts from the Qualification rounds (after the total of the apparatus scores have been worked out) compete on one final apparatus of their choosing. The Winner of the competition will be the MAG and WAG Gymnasts who have the highest All Around scores (calculated from the total of the scores from all 4 Rounds for the Men and 3 Rounds for the Women).
