Gabby Douglas dominated in the Italian province - not in Stuttgart

Gabrielle Douglas (USA): Dream notes!

The Gymworld knows, where Stuttgart is, ... but where is "Jeselo" ...?
It's a suburb of Venice in Italy. At the same time, when the "A-World Cup" was happened in the Porsche Arena of Stuttgart, the IXth Trophy of the City of Jesolo 2016 took place there, with sensational results: Double Olympic champion and winner of the first World Cup in the Olympic year (AT & T American Cup) Gabby Douglas preferred to there with a US Super Team" to start in the province", where she won the all-around with stunning 59.650 points ahead of two other US girls (Ragan Smith: 59.050 and Lauren Hernandez: 58.050) and the Brazilian Flavia Saraiva (58.400) and MyKayla Skinner (USA; 57,900) and also Alexandra Raisman, and Emely Shield as sixth (both USA) have with their Jesolo all-around performance in the Porsche Arena supported the World Cup victory !?

... what's with the modus of FIG World Cup, as a competition for the best all-around gymnasts of the world...?
Does anyone believe that you can offer or sell permanently this product to TV stations as a series ...?
! Three World Cups in a row on three consecutive weekends, than the Pre-Olympic Test events, followed by no less than eight (!) Challenge Cups and interrupted by (European) Continental Championships - and all this before the Olympics. This gymnastics world calendar is a big disaster!
But exactly this have consistently the hard-working actors and the top event organizers do not deserve!
