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 :ITA:JPN:BUL:RUS 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 :ITA and :BUL, who should be the two groups fighting for the gold medal, receiving low scores, while the ugly routines from :RUS and :ISR will probably be overscored to death and win gold and silver. And don't be surprised if :JPN or :UZB sneak onto the podium.

 

In the individual event, :BUL Kaleyn and :BLR 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 :ITA and can :BUL do it well. :UZB 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.

    • 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 
    • In bed with the flu and few hours of sleep, but at least the insomnia will let me watch the first World Cup stage
