Can we consider Kevin Penev's quota for  100% secured?

No, both and are reserves so if someone withdraws then they will compete in the final. If no one (besides 1 USA athlete) withdraws then Bulgaria will get the quota.

quick question: how many vault specialists are left to fight for those 2 World Cup quotas. I'm talking about those who can score +14.600 consistently 

 

it was a tough decision, we had to decide between first ever Asian Games medal or a possible first ever Olympic quota

I think Gabriel Burtanete will be your biggest competitor (along with and here). Obviously, showing up to at least three World Cup events and performing consistently will be the bigger task. 14.600 should be enough for one of the two quotas.

I'm not sure that they are going to need to score that highly - most of the big scoring vaulters are already qualified through the team event or as All-Around so it may only need high 13s to get the spot.

 

Looking at this year's World Cup/World Challenge Cup results then the following names would be in the frame:

 

 Shek Wai Hung - Made the final in 3 out of 4 World Cup events and won 2 bronze medals.

 Mahdi Olfati - Made the final in 3 World Cup events and secured silver in Cottbus. 

 Dominick Cunningham - Made the final in Cairo but can be a little hit-and-miss. Generally pretty consistently in upper 13s which may be enough to qualify. 

 Andrey Medvedev - 2 finals in World Cup events and generally hitting low 14s.

 Tseng Wesi-Sheng - 2 finals at world cup this year and consistently around 14. 

 

There's a further group who could be wildcards based on their 2023 performances but they haven't competed as often at WC events:

 Ondrej Kalny

 Auriel Benovic

 Audrys Nin Reyes and Jabiel Polanco

 Trinh Hai Khang

 Abdulaziz Mirvaliev

You think russians will not be allowed to qualify?

I don't make any judgement on Russian athletes primarily because I don't have benchmarks for their performance this year - I've collated the 2023 results for over 500 gymnasts but none of them were Russian

are the French likely to have 3 quotas?

And let's also award Shilese Jones some medals alongside 

 

Their depth is incredible, no team can't even come close to them.

[rybak 3,218]

I see that in qualifications in women's balance beam after first day (not counting women's from countries which may qualify a team) only  Tina Zelcic and  Lihie Raz are above  Marta Pihan-Kulesza. Our athlete doesn't have any chance for quota after that or I'm maybe wrong?
