 Varfolomeev

 Simakova

All of them Russian. Even we have included a Russian born-gymnast, even though she has spent most of her life in BG.

The Germans benefited the most from this because they acquired the best girl.

"Acquired" is a bit exaggerated. Her grandfather is originally from Germany and also her mother lived in Germany for a few years and took German citizenship at this time before moving back to Russia. Darja than moved to Germany with 12 years to be trained by Yulia Raskina.

I think there are 3 main favorites in Paris: Raffaeli, Nikolova and Varfolomeeva. In the last two years Raffaeli has always performed better at the World Championships than at the European Championships in May, which looking good for her. Will this be enough for gold? I don't know but there should be a medal.

Tokyo was our first time not qualifying in RG since 1984, now it looks like we won't qualify yet again 

 and  will then get the last quotas and  and  will miss out.

Poland still close, and still far away.;( but this year was great for group and solo. 0 in total in gymnastics hurts.

I read that Polish women trained several times with Israel. Maybe this is where the improvement comes from? Besides, the Ukrainian team also trains often in Poland.
