The places in the artisitc gymnastics pairs competition, the Swiss Cup 2007 beginning on November 4th in the Zurich Hallenstadion are much sought after.

Well-known participants from more than ten countries have already registered. It is already certain that the star of floor gymnastics, Diego Hypolito from Brazil, will participate.
The pair representing the Swiss hosts has also already been confirmed...
After last year's Swiss Cup was organized once more very successfully at the Hallenstadion, the international competition is developing more and more into a highpoint of the gymnastics calendar!
After the 2007 World Championships in Stuttgart a large number of applications and indicatins of interest have already been received. The Swiss organizers will now have to make difficult decisions in establishing the most attractive field of participants:
The Swiss pair Ariella Käslin and Niki Böschenstein has already been selected. In the next weeks the organizers will decide who will take place along with the Swiss pair.
The performance of the floor world champion Diego Hypolito promises to be an attraction. The 21 yer old Brazilian became the first world champion from his country in 2005 in Melbourne .
After having to pass on his title in 2006, he managed to win gold on floor again in Stuttgart just recently.
