2011 World Championships Women's GOLD Medal Routines
Day 2 of women's World Championships qualifying competition has just concluded and we now know the gymnasts and teams who will advance to finals and contend for World medals.
In the team competition, there was much at stake. The top 8 teams will not only advance to the Team Finals, but also automatically qualify a full team to the 2012 London Olympics. The teams who finished 9 - 16 will have to travel to London in January to compete at the test event which is the second and final chance to qualify.
Below are the top results from today's competition. Those with a "Q" means they have advanced to finals. Those with an "R" are the reserve gymnasts. Due to the rules of the competition, only two gymnasts per country may advance to individual all around and event finals.
Team Competition Results:

Qualification competition has officially concluded in Tokyo! It will be nothing but Finals from here on out. Below is the list of countries and individuals who will advance to contend for World titles. Results via the all around, as the official FIG/Longines results have been quite slow to update.
The biggest surprise of the day was that the British men, who I expected to come in and contend for a medal, failed to advance to the final after falling apart on high bar. Good news is, it's not over for them. They will get one more chance to qualify their first full team to the Olympics since 1992 this January at the test event in London.
The top 8 teams below have not only advanced to this year's World team final, but they have also successfully qualified a full team to the 2012 Olympic Games. The teams who finished 9th - 16th will be go to the test event in January for the second and final opportunity to send a full team to the Olympics. A total of 12 countries will be represented by full teams at the 2012 Olympics.
Below are the top results from today's competition. Those with a "Q" means they have advanced to finals. Those with an "R" are the reserve gymnasts. Due to the rules of the competition, only two gymnasts per country may advance to individual all around and event finals.

The Chinese were once again dominant and successfully defended their World title anchored by an incredible floor routine from 2008 Olympic Floor Champion Zou Kai.
Japan nearly slipped into the bronze medal position after a surprise fall on a kovacs from reigning World Champion Kohei Uchimura in the team's final routine of the night. The USA contingent thought they would move up to the silver medal position, once the final tallies appeared, the Japanese still had the slightest edge. In the end, it was China gold, Japan silver, and USA bronze.
