I'm getting nervous now that the competition is about to start.

There are so many countries I'm rooting for... Pazhava from Georgia is by far my favorite gymnast in individual competition, but she is a dark horse for the podium. I can't see her winning a medal if both Russians hit their routines, and if Rizatdinova and Staniouta have a great day. Still, a top 5 finish would be amazing for her.

In group competition, Belarus and Russia are a strong contenders for a gold medal. Russia is not as dominant as it once was, so it will be interesting to see if they can still win gold. Italy has the best routines of the group competition in my opinion, but it looks like Israel might surprise Italy and get a medal. Israel is the group I dislike the most in this event, but they seem to always get high scores, what baffles me. I wish Bulgaria could challenge for a medal too, but I don't see this happening right now.

Very, very good by Vladinova, almost in the final

A very interesting competition. Mamun finally edging Kudryavtseva in the Russian derby, Rizatdinova very consistent through all four apparatus (although I'd love to see her placing higher), Melitina also good.  The surprises were to see Pazhava from Georgia and Zeng from USA out of the final, but that give a chance to Vlaidnova   and Rodriguez to be in in

 

By the way, the Russians just got 17.200 points only in her second group routine

Surprisingly Spain qualifies as first place to the Groups Final, so they might get a medal if Russia, Belarus or Italy fail

Faultlessly, Spain could also be medal. Bronze medal in 2015 World Championships.
