Uneven bars' World Champions all
In the history book of this apparatus, Gertrud Kolar from Austria and Ann-Sofie Petterson from Sweden are the first World Champions, the Polish Helena Rakoczy achieved the third place in 1950 in Basel. Two more Austrians, Schramm and Ruckser, were in this very first uneven bars final at World Championships.
After that, Hungarian (Keleti) and Soviet (Latynina, Perwuschina) gymnasts dominated this apparatus, but with the victory of the German Karin Janz (1970) a dominance of the GDR-gymnasts started and lasted for almost two decades.
They gained the World Champion’s title at the “double horizontal bar” seven times- with Annelore Zinke (1974), three times Maxi Gnauck (1979-1983), Gabriele Fähnrich and Dörthe Thümmler, only once interrupted by Marcia Frederick (USA) in 1978 in Strasbourg.  Romania, the USA and China were the dominating nations afterwards until Swetlana Chorkina, starting in 1995, climbed the throne of the uneven bars queen five  times in a row, but in 2002 came Courney Kupets, nine years after the las American success of Shannon Miller....
