It is worth to highlight that she now qualified for her eighth(!) consecutive Summer Olympics at the age of 44 in a sport where most women quit at their late 20's (at the latest), still highly competitive in Vault. She is a real olympic superstar. She will now become the woman with second most Olympic appearances, just behind Nino Salukvadze and equal to Josefa Idem. Very bitter result for Brazil, normally a sure shot for qualification. Hopefully, they are able to qualify at least some more individuals via the other criteria. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer. There's still a huge chance someone will qualify through other means (world cup series, continental championships), so I believe there's hope for Ireland.

We have 20 quotas through the all around + 11 extra quotas from the event finals + 1 extra quota from the host nation reallocation. I only counted 31 gymnasts, but it's actually 32! Ireland has qualified! OMG really? This just cheered me right up! Yesss Megan!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinipereira 3,081 Posted October 5, 2019 #139 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm glad Brazil didn't qualify a full team: 1) we can focus on the girls that actually have a shot at a good result in Tokyo instead of worrying about old/injured athletes that add nothing to the team; 2) maybe something will change in our gymnastics federation that surely is one of the worst in Brazil - the disaster today wasn't simply a matter of "bad luck", but also has to do with the terrible planning this confederation has.
