After the Vault rotation, American Elizabeth Price leads from Switzerland's Giulia Steingruber and Romanian Larisa Andreea Iordache at the 2013 Stuttgart World Cup at the Porsche-Arena in Germany. Phenomenal Uneven Bars routine from Great Britain's Ruby Harrold. Seems like Briannah Tsang had a rough time of it on the Uneven Bars. At the halfway point, Price maintains the lead over Giulia Steingruber. Harrold's efforts on the Uneven Bars moves her into third place with Iordache in fourth. Solid Beam routine for Iordache. There are some stunning leotards in use today! Seems Beam is a rough rotation for most gymnasts so far. Harrold's leotard keeps with the patriotic feel we've come to expect from the country's leotards but is very elegant. Purple leotard with patterning and diamantes for Seitz - wasn't what I was expecting but I kind of like it!! Iordache looks stunning in an elegant royal? blue leotard with patterning on the front. Price maintains the lead going into the final rotation with Iordache moving into second with Steingruber in third. On a different note - love Ebee's leotard! There was a challenge to Iordache's Beam score which saw her score on the apparatus rise from 14.766 to 15.166. And it is official, the winner of the Women's All Around at the 2013 EnBW DTB-Pokal World Cup competition is ELIZABETH PRICE!! Iordache finishes in second with Italy's Vanessa Ferrari taking out the bronze! Well done to all!
