If Heeyeon Jeong scores less than 11.500, then South Korea might be the one country that isn't going to Rio

Congrats Germany and Brazil for the team quotas

Korea's scores have been shameful.

Wow, South Korea just barely won the individual quota.

 

Meanwhile, qualify for the first time in gymnastics.

That was really a terrible competition for South Korea. Not a single results with 14 points or more and outside of Vault only two marks better than 13 points.

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

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?

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?
