France already named the World Team for the World Championships in Stuttgart, September 1-9. So much faster than the USA will! USA will pick the Worlds team from the Visa Championships starting August 13th, but I'm not sure if it will be right after, maybe they will have more training and selection camps to finalize the whole team, and just set like the top 2 in for the Worlds team. From this Worlds competition in Stutgart, the top 12 women's and top 12 men's teams will qualify for next summer's Beijing Olympics!
