IG brings you exclusive video highlights and behind-the-scenes photos of the "Hyundai Capital Invitational II" World Gymnastics Gala, a three-night show held in mid-June in Seoul, Korea, produced by IG Publisher Paul Ziert.

The show lineup featured performers from nine countries, including world and Olympic champions Catalina Ponor, Ivan Ivankov, Jordan Jovtchev, Ashley Postell, Yulia Raskina and Li Ya.

A temporary venue was built specifically for the show in Seoul's Olympic Park. The venue featured 180 overhead lights, and video and images were projected onto the stretched canopy overhead.

The event was free to the public, but only 1,200 seats were available for each show. There were 20,000 requests put in for the 3,600 tickets, Ziert said.

"Of the more than 200 shows I have produced over the past 30 years, this was the most dynamic. Every performer gave us a maximum effort, and I would like to thank all of them for showing an extremely high level of gymnastics performed in an elegant and theatrical way," Ziert said.
