Because in the 20km they had three, including one who would absolutely have a total fail again, and in the 50km they merely have outsiders Can't imagine they have more than one marginal outsider in the women's 20k neither. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted August 5, 2021 #1734 Share Posted August 5, 2021 This is kind of off topic, but I'm absolutely mesmerized by the fact that 60 men were allowed to qualify for the 20 km march and another 60 for the 50 km march. That's 120 men qualifying for only 2 events in 1 sport. In the entirety of artistic gymnastics, only 98 men are allowed to compete in total. I know I sound salty, but this is not fair in my opinion. pdr4332 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, two medals would be a more than excellent result there (one would even be good), three would be incredibly surprising, but who knows If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I can get the point, but feel way worse about the men's junior event in football taking up even way more quotas. Even though I know I guess the event is important for the Olympics, unfortunately. Hard to believe since I barely know any actual sports fan who actually watches it after the opening ceremony, but general audience usually doesn't consist of actual sports fans, so yeah If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

To be fair, in artistic gymnastics there is a lot of overlap between the events. Even outside the Olympics FIG is barely welcoming towards specialists.
