Members of the Brazilian group:

Beatriz Linhares
Déborah Medrado
Geovanna Santos
Maria Eduarda Arakaki
Nicole Pircio

Seriously, choosing Nicole Pircio is the biggest mistake our federation could have made. Not only she did not help the group qualify in any way, every time she performed in recent years, she screwed up badly. It only shows how our federation lacks transparency and chooses girls based on unclear and very questionable criteria. Horrible decision. Such a shame.

Really makes me wonder if this is (partially, of course) a Brazilian thing...it's not at all the only federation where 'unclear and questionable criteria' play a significant role

I did not mean to be the first and the only to write here.

 

     Bulgaria, Italy, Russia!!!, Spain are now the top pretenders from this sport. But in such forums everything happens. The compositions of the teams - both in ''single'' and in ''groups - 5 girls" are so complicated, that one false step may cost droping the best performance and not taking a medal. Every team has worked a lot during the years, so not only the upper countries are ''in the battle'' for the prises.

Let's wish every team to perform the best way and the most difficult and best-performed compositions to win.

To be fair, I expect that the podium will be contented between and :BLR. Sadly for the Spanish, I think that this year they are too far from the top

I've almost given up hope in the group event. I'm not ready to see  and , who should be the two groups fighting for the gold medal, receiving low scores, while the ugly routines from  and  will probably be overscored to death and win gold and silver. And don't be surprised if  or  sneak onto the podium.

 

In the individual event,  Kaleyn and  Harnasko are my favorite gymnasts. I'd love to see a Kapranova-like situation where one of the Russians give in way for both Kaleyn and Harnasko to earn medals. But, let's face it, the podium will probably be both Averinas and Ashram, and if this happens, it will be my least favorite podium in the history of this sport.

The current Code of Points destroyed this sport, in my opinion. The focus on difficulty almost killed any semblance of artistry in the routines. As I mentioned, only  and can  do it well.  also tries hard, but it's just that I don't like their style, but of course this is my problem, not theirs.

Finally one of the moments I’ve expecting during the whole Games, second only to Pacheco’s.

Ruth Castillo the most veteran elite competitor will finally make her Olympic debut tonight.

Hope she can hit the routines the qay she did it at the qualifier.

To no one's surprise, a VERY long wait for the scores. Horrible organization by FIG, as always.

[thiago_simoes 1,423]

Vedeneeva was robbed. Not surprised, though.
