FIG messed up by not having it in the contract like the IOC does.

 

Israel really should be able to get at least one other country to boycott it. 

On the fun side: the only two other big countries I saw are also not taking part of this World Championships are North Korea and Iran  maybe it was a boycott 

 

But seriously: Does anyone know why they are not taking Part? In the last entry list, IRI was even on orange meaning FIG was waiting for their entries...

I think they is a fair chance  is forced to withdraw at some during the Champs.

Two days before the tournament starts? I don't think so

Well, speaking of this tournament, our ambitions are a little more modest. The most important thing is to find good options for the team.

Rebeca Andrade has already said she won't compete on floor again (although I still have hopes for LA). So finding a solution for that apparatus is important, as is a good second option on vault.

In the men's event, Caio and Diogo are certain names, but we'll see if the rest of the team can deliver.

Oh! I have been missing those words.

Coming back to sports discussion, you all want to play some bets on who medal on what? Or have you read any good predictions?

I'm curious on how will Diogo perform since he left Flamengo and turned down Pinheiros (two big clubs in Rio and São Paulo), which apparently is not a wise decision, career-wise.

 

I think this will be a good competition to Flavia and. Julia Soares 'have fun' without pressure, and hoping to get medals.

 

Julia Coutinho and Sophia Weisberg are both 15yo and it will be important for them to have the experience, specially the one who will do the AA (if not both).

The IOC is "expressing concerns".
