I guess my take on this is that on the women's side, GB are benefiting from an improving Italy and vice versa - it's pushing both teams to get better and better and they know that there is a potential medal up for grabs in Paris. I would say that both teams rely on their big names performing and perhaps GB have an edge in terms of the depth of squad available - shown by the great performance from Beckie Downie on the uneven bars. The British men are stronger than Italy but the squad that we have taken to Turkey isn't our strongest so Italy taking the gold was a fair reflection of the teams current status. GB really need Joe Fraser and Giarnni Regini Moran to be fully fit and more consistent performances from Jake Jarman. Add in Courtney Tulloch and the possible return of Max Whitlock and that is a pretty solid team with medal potential across multiple events. The one benefit for GB at the moment is that having got their Olympic qualification in the bag last year, this is a free year for them - so everyone that needs to is going under the surgeon's knife now and/or reworking their routines to increase degree of difficulty.

True of much of the media everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much agree with that assessment. Little to choose between the two countries women's teams when at full strength, while the GB men are clearly stronger than Italy at this stage subject to the same proviso about both teams being at full strength. In the absence of the men you mentioned this was the least experienced men's team I can recall in a very long time. Jarman only made his breakthrough last year, Tulloch - while experienced - only competes on rings and vault, leaving the other three competing in their first major international event.
