She's a favourite on Vault and Bars, but has american competition. Hopefully Flavia Saraiva can win a gold in any event. Without Caio Souza, Brazil isn't a favourite in any event on the men's side. Curiously enough, Arthur Nory will compete in AA for the first time in years (he doesn't do Rings), trying to get the Olympic quota. So indeed Olympic quotas will be given for the gymnastic disciplines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, at least that's the expectation from Brazilian Gymnastics - to get the only quota available (best AA after and which already qualified a full team). But apparently the 2024 World Cup series has priority over this? Meaning that someone like Zanetti (unlikely) could get a Rings quota and then the Pan American Games spot would go to another nation (assuming Brazil gets this quota, which is already difficult). mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,657 Posted October 20, 2023 #806 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I wasn’t sold on the diving venue when I saw photos earlier this week, but it does come across nice enough on the broadcast. “Sport has the power to change the world.
