South Korea hold the last available position for direct qualification, not counting Algeria who will get one of the African spots, and with another two spots will be awarded to teams, Argentina just needing to finish above one of the gymnasts in last rotation

Okay, so the official benchmark for Ellis to target is 49.134..... this should be within her reach! Hoping for a piece of history this evening and to see our first ever representation in women's gymnastics at an Olympic Games. It's not too much to ask, please, please, please let it happen. I'm nervous as if I'm awaiting some impending disaster :d

Good that we qualified as expected, but the score isnt very good. I guess thats what you get when you miss Berger/Janas and when Scheder/Schäfer dont perform at their best. Scheder never got back to her shape from 2015 european games and Schäfer underscored at vault today. Romania got very unlucky, they had to compete without their 2 best athletes Iordache and Jurca. Is Iordache already qualified for Rio?

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Actually Argentina is already in. Azerbaijan and Malaysia currently out.

So, these are the questions for the last subdivision.

 

Can Belgium qualify a women's team for the first time since 1948?

Can Jamaica make its debut in gymnastics?

Can Iceland and Ireland qualify female gymnasts for the first time ever?

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
