The first and only Category A CIII for 2012 will take place in Zibo City, China. Occurring on the 7th and 8th of April at the Zibo Sports Center Gymnasium, some of the best gymnasts in the World will be taking part in the event. Hopefully some other names are added or some of the gymnasts are able to compete another event to even out the numbers competing. Women's Vault has the most competitors and boasts an exciting list of names - Dominican Republic's Yamilet Pena Abreu makes history by being the first gymnast from the small nation to compete in a World Cup event; Phan Thi Ha Thanh hopes to win another medal to add to her collection as will Jade Fernandes Barbosa, Lauren Mitchell, Larrissa Miller and Jessica Lopez just to name a few. CHENG Fei who will be making an International comeback at the Cottbus World Cup has something to prove and personally I am really excited to see Alexa Citlali Moreno Medina in the line-up!!

Chinese Up-and-Comer HUANG Huidan will be the Hors Concours participant. The names below have been updated with that of the latest Nominative Registration list. Despite a depleted field in some events, it looks to be an exciting competition nevertheless!
