The 2009 World Gymnastics Championships will be remembered for many reasons: for the triumphs of less dominant gymnastics countries like Britain, Switzerland and Israel, for the re-emergence of artistry in performances from gymnasts like Ana Porgras and Elsa Garcia, for the continuing dominance of Chinese gymnasts as event specialists, and for some really good photos.

Please take a moment to click through and enjoy the grace, athleticism and power of these championships.
