Sazonova was born in Russia. She earned a medal with the Russian team at the 2011 Universiade, but it was clear that she had no chance to go to the Olympics if she stayed in Russia. 

 

Marina Nekrasova of Azerbaijan was also born in Russia, but she never achieved anything important in her carrer, really.

Bad result for Ellis on beam.... 0.700 points lower than in the Worlds.

Shen needs 12.400 on floor and vault. This should be easy, even with a fall.

France needs 54.200 in uneven bars total to secure team quota,,,

 

Jamaica almost qualified, just a 10.500 in vault, Ireland a 12.800, so only tragedy could prevent those two of reaching Rio
