The 6th edition of the Doha World Cup takes place from the 27th to the 29th of March at the Aspire Dome in Doha, Qatar. The Provisional competition schedule is listed below, as too is the Nominative Registrations. Whilst I was originally glad to see gymnasts from South Korea scheduled to compete, they are not listed on the Nominative Registrations. However, I am still thrilled to say that this competition boasts an exciting line up for both the Men and Women! I am especially looking forward to the Women's Vault competition as the entries include: HONG Un Jong (PRK), Giulia Steingruber (SUI), Kirsten Beckett (RSA), Claudia Cummins (RSA), Teja Belak (SLO), Demet Mutlu (TUR), Hiu Ying Angel Wong (HKG) and PHAN Thi Ha Thanh of Vietnam.
