I wonder why you didn't include the current world champion Liu Tingting?

Because Liu Tingting has “only” 6.1 difficulty at this moment (Chinese Nationals) if she improved the difficulty she has a chance. Ou Yushan and Guan Chenchen are still juniors so they have time to improve their mental and they have a lot of difficulty so in my opinion Ou and Guan have more chances to beat Simone

Doesn't her new floor element already exist for men? If that is the case, then why would it be named after her? I don't get why the same element for men and women would have two different names ...

In athletics for example why exist a world record for men and a world record for women if Usain Bolt already run 10.49? Exactly same thing is in gymnastics, men have different CoP than women. For example Amanar has 5.8 difficulty for women and 2 and 1/2 twisting yurchenko has 5.2 for men. Same vault different start value

Jaeger, tkachev, pak, double tuck 1/1(she posted on instagram a part of her routine) for Larisa Iordache on uneven bars i think she will be at worlds so it’s a good thing for Romania

Never heard of any of them (which is entirely on me), now I'm curious :d


China will probably be 1-2 at the Olympics, and I wouldn't rule out Eaker either (but I think she will ultimately not be chosen for the US team thanks to her severe lack of consistency). And we might as well see a surprising medalist too, especially from Russia or Romania.

I see Romania as a coin toss for the Olympic qualification: 50-50 chance of qualifying a full team. I don't really think the current girls can do it, but deep down I hope they surprise me because the current juniors (who will turn senior next year) deserve to compete at the Olympics. Still, I predict uneven bars will be a disaster for Romania this year, so I hope Iordache helps the team as much as she can.

I believe :BEL :GER and :NED are direct competitors against :ROU for the final women's team quotas for the Olympics. :USA :RUS :CHN are already qualified and unless a disaster occurs :JPN :GBR :ITA :FRA :BRA :CAN should qualify easily. :AUS and :ARG could qualify too if they have a perfect day, but I wouldn't hold my breath. :HUN and :PRK are the dark horses.

Golgota has also an improvement on her floor. After Silivas she added a double arabian+front tuck. If she and Iordache hit the routine on uneven bars we really do have a chance. At Tokyo with Stanciulescu, Sfiringu, Golgota and Iordache in a good shape, Romania can hope at a medal in team event.

US and Russia will be untouchable in 2020. China is in a very comfortable position for a bronze medal, even with subpar floor routines and less than stellar vaults. But let's see where Romania gets if they qualify a full team. Nothing is impossible, especially with a pool of such talented gymnasts.

You're forgetting the reigning Olymic champion :whistle: 

 

Who knows, weird stuff can happen again :d

It will be hard for Sanne to be in the top 5. She has a routine with 6.1 difficulty but it’s true she can improve.

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
