Wheel Gymnastics: Germany won World Team Cup again GYM family Event 2006

Achus Emeis (GER)
- highest Score!

At the "3rd World-Team-Cup of Wheel Gymnastics 2006" the German team gets the gold medal once again.

Despite of the high level of the gymnasts from Japan and Switzerland, Germany managed to get the highest scores even with the new introduced regulation of vault.
Positive commands all-around for the new regulations of vault.
Competitors and members of the jury agreed, it is practicable and purposeful within the competition.....
Thanks to the perfect local organisation, the audience enjoyed an extraordinary, suspenseful and amusing contest...


Unfortunately the Japanese participant Shigeo Nomi wasn’t lucky. He gets injured while training vault, so the Japanese team has to start with a minority number of participants.
