Fresh off of her win in Stuttgart last weekend, Elizabeth Price (USA) will be headlining the women’s field in the World Cup and won the title the previous year. Price will face tough competition from along with newly crowned Mexican Open champion Roxana Popa (ESP) and 2013 World Floor bronze medalist Larissa Iordache (ROU). Joining them will be Ruby Harrold (GBR) and Raer Theaker (GBR), who are competing on home soil in addition to Asuka Teramoto (JPN), Vanessa Ferrari (ITA), and Carlotta Ferlito (ITA).

On the men’s side, Stuttgart World Cup champion Oleg Verniaiev (UKR) will look to maintain the top spot ahead of Great Britian’s Daniel Purvis who finished 3rd in Germany. Purvis and fellow British Olympian Sam Oldham may have the home crowd advantage, but Andrei Likhovitskiy (BLR) and John Orozco (USA) will be in the mix as they look to improve on their 4th and 5th place finishes last weekend. Rounding out the field will be Fabian Gonzalez (ESP), Andreas Toba (GER), and Masayoshi Yamamoto (JPN). 

The Espoir British Championships will feature the top young female talent in the country, with 40 gymnasts between 12-13 years old competing in an all-around competition as well as a individual event finals. Top contenders include Catherine Lyons and Georgia Mae Fenton
