I had no idea this was even a possibility! Nice surprise!

I was keeping an eye on this since the 2023 World Championships.

 

Lucky for us the right people qualified at the World Qualifier Series.

 

That means we are qualified in 42/47 disciplines at the Olympics, missing out in field hockey, handball, modern pentathlon, rhythmic gymnastics, and sport climbing.

Per the selection criteria, the spot will go to Jeff Whaley. However, I think Mike Varga should be given the spot (he is the national champion, meanwhile Whaley was third)

I don’t personally, I believe Whaley has produced better results on the WC stage.
