World Gymnastics Championships: Event Finals

Alicia Sacramone of the US (ex-Brown) won the World title on the VT, after capping a successful comeback from retirement.  She defeated the World AA champ, Aliya Mustafina, when Mustafina's 2nd vault was downgraded for not showing the intended position.   Veterans and post-college age athletes dominated in the AA final, with only Men's FX winner Eleftherios Kosmidis at 19 the only winner younger than 22.  OU's Steven Legendre placed 8th in the FX final after some problems.  The USA's Rebecca Bross finished third on UB, behind winner Beth Tweddle, after defending champion He Kexin fell.  In fourth was former World AA champ Bridget Sloan of the US.
