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. Uncle Tim, Lauren and Jessica chat about:

• Every single event final, even rings and pommel horse!
• The judging of the balance beam final Mustafina's score vs. Terramoto's score.
• Which side of the gymnastics debate won Execution or Difficulty. We have the statistical proof in this week's edition of Sexy Data.
• Which gymnastics need to sit in over splits until next year's worlds or stop complaining about their E scores.
• Bruno Grandi's latest call for change. Why doesn't he understand that EXECUTION IS NOT ARTISTRY!
• All the ways in which the Italian Gymnastics Federation is like the Perez Hilton of gymnastics federations.
• 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.

Contest Alert!
