gymnasts to the Cottbus tournament.
"It is clear that we are planning to send our
strongest team - including our youngster Fabian
Hambuechen - to the Cottbus world cup

Robert Juckel from the
local club in Cottbus has a chance to compete in front of
home crowd, provided both of them are in shape and won't
be injured".
