9月微凉,斯图加特体操世锦赛在中国队的"高开低走"中落幕。斯城鏖战之所以重要,因为这是北京奥运会前最后一次汇聚世界全部高手的体操大赛。虽然从地理上而言,斯图加特距离北京十万八千里,但从时间上而言,只有不到—年。从心理上而言,斯城体操世锦赛标志着一道坎,迈过去,北京奥运会已迫在眼前。
China,which swept a record eight gold medals in last world gymnastics championships,finished the Stuttgart Worlds with five. Although China showed its dominance of the men's events with four golds,next year's Olympic host was outclassed in most of the women's by triple gold medallist Shawn Johnson and her US teammates.
