Fabian Hambuechen (GER)
Double Winner at home!

Barely hundred gymnasts, representing 35 nations took part at the 26th DTB-POKAL 2008, a world cup event (category A), which was held in the PORSCHE arena of Stuttgart, Germany.
After the Friday's women's qualification the men's rounds followed at afternoon.
Specially the German hosts made a very good job:
Matthias Fahrig, from the German club "SV Halle", leads at the floor exercise and the vault and his teammate and world champion on high bar, Fabian Hambuechen (KTV Straubenhardt), was the best at his special apparatus.
Altogether seven final rankings the Germans reached for the Saturday's final decisions.
<< But at the end of the Saturday's finals the Chinese athletes won three - the German Fabian HAMBÜCHEN two apparatuses, alone...
