Who is the alternate? I'm curious because if the US wins a medal at the team event, the alternate will be given a medal as well. 

Alternates are not given medals...

Im not sure.  They made such a big deal.  For now it wasn't mentioned

I heard Leyva is the alternate, but don't have a source.. 

 

I'm sad he isn't selected by the way, he is by far my favourite male US gymnast.

Leyva was injured right before the first competition.  And even yesterday I thought he looked worse then then orozco who realistically was his competition for the last spot

Since 2014 alternates are awarded team medals at the World Championships, and I'm 99% sure this works for the Olympics as well.

This is true for most competitions, but not for Olympic Games (as explained here in page 68)

Except for Olympic Games, Delegations with full teams are entitled to include one reserve gymnast for men and one reserve gymnast for women. Remark: For Olympic Games no Reserve Gymnasts are allowed.

@thiago_simoes your thoughts on this team?

 

This is the best possible team for Canada and a shoe-in for a top 6 placement. On paper, only Russia, China, Japan, Great Britain and the USA are ahead of Canada now. Brazil and Germany are roughly on the same level, I think. It will be interesting to see if Italy, the Netherlands, France and Belgium can challenge for the top 8. Maybe the Netherlands can make it ahead of Germany, but I doubt Italy, France and Belgium can make much of an impact at this point.

    • Don't look now but the Bears might actually win the division in Ben Johnson's first season as HC...      
    • Festival of Music   For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration.     I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This.     Picture This - This Christmas  
    • pair Danilova/Tsiba hasn't fulfilled the national criteria to participate in the Games but their skating federation has sent a request to the national olympic committee for an exception and to include them to the TeamNL. https://www.schaatsen.nl/nieuws/knsb-dient-verzoek-in-voor-olympisch-startbewijs-danilova-tsiba/
    • Juniors were there recently and the track was awful   Although that's not necessarily bad. Tracks don't all need to be fast, a slow track (like the horribly slow one in Poland) simply favors a different style of athletes. Training a lot there doesn't really give much extra advantage though, not like in sliding sports where of course as host country you make sure your athletes know every single meter a year before the Olympics.    And to get back on topic: speed skater Elisa Dul broke her tibia and fibula in a training fall yesterday and will obviously be out of the OQT and so the Olympics. 
    • The PSL race in Davos was (yet another) insult to a beautiful discipline. The red course (which was actually yellow) had several holes and an exposed ice sheet, which made the athletes slide way too long, causing DNFs or massive time losses. The only positive note is that Caffont won despite racing on the more dangerous course in the final
    • Aerials WC Secret Garden     Mixed Team Gold-  China 1, (315.35 - Xu Mengtao, Li Tianma, Qi Guangpu) Silver-  China 2 (308.45 - Chen Meiting, Wang Xindi, Sun Jiaxu) Bronze-  United States 2 (272.81 - Kaila Kuhn, Ashton Salwan, Connor Curran)   Full Results
    • Parallel Slalom WC Davos     Women Gold-  Elisa Caffont Silver-  Zuzana Maderova Bronze-  Miki Tsubaki Surprising 4th for  Annamarri Dancha   Men Gold-  Arvid Auner Silver-  Gabriel Messner Bronze-  Aaron March   Full Results
    • Ski Cross WC Innichen   Women Gold-  Marielle Berger Sabbatel Silver-  Fanny Smith Bronze-  Sandra Naeslund Naeslund only winning bronze    Could very well be a preview of the women's big final at the Olympics.    Men Gold-  Reece Howden Silver-  Alex Fiva Bronze-  Tobias Bauer   With his win today, Howden is now the all-time leader in men's WC wins with 20!    Solid 4th for Jared Schmidt as well   Full Results
    • Not just Erin Jackson, but several others like for instance Joep Wennemars. Think of it what you may, it’s all down to the way the rules are written up. The rationale is probably to prevent that a rider that falls is automatically relegated to the B group.
