Our coverage of the 2014 Gymnastics World Championships in Nanning, China continues with a full recap of the women's and men's all-around final.\xa0\xa0Uncle Tim, Lauren and Jessica\xa0chat about:

\n
    \n
  • Every single event final, even rings and pommel horse!
  • \n
  • The judging of the balance beam final Mustafina's score vs. Terramoto's score.
  • \n
  • Which side of the gymnastics debate won Execution or Difficulty. We have the statistical proof in this week's edition of Sexy Data.
  • \n
  • Which gymnastics need to sit in over splits until next year's worlds or stop complaining about their E scores.
  • \n
  • Bruno Grandi's latest call for change. Why doesn't he understand\xa0that EXECUTION IS NOT ARTISTRY!
  • \n
  • All the ways in which the\xa0Italian Gymnastics Federation is like the Perez Hilton of gymnastics federations.
  • \n
  • Would reducing the number of skills with a simultaneous minimum time limit on floor (for men and women) and beam, help address the lack of artistry in the current system.
  • \n
