The FIG commitee decided Friday not to move the 2011 worlds from Tokyo. IMHO this was the best decision for all, as the travel risks are mininmal at worst and the people of Japan could definitely do with the confidence boost of hosting a successful sporting event at home.
And from there......The commitee also decided to award the 2013 worlds to Antwerp, Belgium. They are also expected to decide the host city of the hotly contested 2015 worlds this weekend (Associated Press)
