3rd 2011 FIG Aerobic Gymnastics World Cup B

fig-press--: Aerobic gymnasts from Indonesia, South Africa, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan itself will compete at the Suzuki World Cup 2011, the discipline’s ultimate World Cup competition of the year, in Hamamatsu (JPN) on June 4 – 5.
The event, originally scheduled to take place in April at the Metropolitan Gymnasium of Sendagaya, Tokyo, was postponed and relocated to the ACT CITY venue in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, due to the unstable situation at the nuclear power station of Fukushima (JPN) and the unknown repercussions for the population at that time.
Hamamatsu is also the home to title sponsor Suzuki Motor Corporation, who supports this spectacular event for the 22nd time since originally being launched in 1990.
Premiering under the FIG label in Tokyo in 2010, the Suzuki Cup 2011 is to be a charity event for those affected by the earthquake and tsunami that ravaged north-eastern Japan in March.
Funds will be utilised to fuel on-going and immediate relief, and possibly to provide recovery support to victims.

The tournament includes competitions in the Men’s and Women’s Individual, Mixed Pair and Trio categories.
