The 2014 Cottbus World Cup, the second leg in the annual World Cup series, will take
place March 12th-16th in Cottbus, Germany. Gymnasts from 41 nations will participate in qualification and final rounds for each individual apparatus. Gymnastike will be on site to bring you videos, interviews, live updates, results, and more right from the competition floor!

Team USA will be represented by a three-man delegation of Chris Brooks, Brandon Wynn, and Josh Dixon. Brooks and Dixon will compete on floor and high bar, with Brooks also taking on the parallel bars. Wynn will also compete on parallel bars, and as the reigning World bronze medalist, he will be the favorite to win still rings. Team USA will be met by a strong international field including Daniel Keatings and Frank Baines (GBR), Kohei Kameyama and Koji Yamamuro (JPN), and five gymnasts from the host nation (Andreas Toba, Andreas Bretschneider, Matthias Fahrig, Sebastian Krimmer, and Thomas Taranu), who will look to capitalize on their home-crowd advantage.

On the women’s side, the big hitters will include Larisa Iordache (ROU), Jessica Lopez (VEN), Anna Rodionova (RUS), Kim Bui (GER), Sophie Scheder (GER), and Natalie Vaculik (CAN). Iordache will compete on uneven bars and balance beam, as will Rodionova, while Lopez and Scheder will add floor to their repertoire. Vaculik and fellow Canadian Aleeza Yu will both compete four events.
