The general goal established by the federation for these World Championships, for the men and women, is the gain of a medal and a placing between 4th and 6th place. The qualification for the next stage towards the Olympic games is mandatory for both the Olympic teams. The first 24 teams go into the next qualifying stage, which will take place in 2011, at the world championships in Tokyo. There, the first 8 teams get automatic entry for the Olympic Games in London.

The team which will represent Romania at the 2010 world championships underwent again another verification, in which the main goal put by the coaches was steadiness. The 7 gymnasts who will go to Rotterdam today found out that Mariana Bitang will not be accompanying them to Rotterdam:

Belu will go with the team to the world championships, but he will not be in the competition area, and me during this time I will make a selection in order to complete the team who will begin their preparations for the Olympic Games in 2012.

It will be harder because she (Bitang) gives me energy and confidence” –Raluca Haidu

For me honestly, it will be very hard because she (Bitang) helps me a lot” – Diana Chelaru

We will miss her dynamic character during training!  The gymnasts will battle it out with themselves, not with China, USA or Russia.”
