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.
