Moscow World Cup 2011 Coverage & Schedule

The Moscow World Cup takes place this weekend, May 13th – 14th. View the list of gymnasts competing here and starting lists here which have changed due to the fact that the Romanian WAG gymnasts have withdrawn from competition. Both the MAG and WAG participants lists have diminished since the original nominative entries. Tatiana Nabieva will not compete and there are a few empty spaces on the Vault and Floor drawing lots for WAG.

You might like to note the time difference compared to your country. Moscow is 3 hours ahead of London and Dublin, New York is 8 hours behind, San Diego is 11 hours behind and Melbourne is 6 hours ahead. I hope that’s correct, leave a comment below if there are errors.
