International DTB-Cup: Qualification

The qualification for the finales of the 22nd International DTB-Cup in artistic gymnastics took place in an almost sold-out venue in an impressive atmosphere today.
Russia’s Anna Pavlova took the lead on two apparatus – vault and beam. The highest score of the day was reached by Marius Urzica (ROM) with 9.875 on pommel horse. The host team Germany managed to reach spots in 7 out of the 10 finales with Matthias Fahrig winning the qualification on vault and Heike Gunne reaching the 2nd place on uneven bars.
