Individual Results

 

from Grand Prix de Thiais, France.

 

Among contenders for Olympic qualification, Mickova get some good notes, which if she manages to repeat or better, it could mean she's in contention for the last ticket to Rio. On the other hand Bezzoubenko had a dissapointing performance, but maybe she can improve on her next appearance. I'm glad Diaz Arnal is scoring around 16 points in each apparatus; it may be a long shot for 2016, but it seems that the training in Bulgaria has helped her to be more consistent.

A much better routine with clubs and hoops for Brazil! Too bad our 5 ribbons routine has been changed from the previous year and the girls are not comfortable when performing this routine yet.

In Artistic Gymnastics, Nekrasova (who didn't qualify) is from Russia, and both Stepko and Pakhnyuk are from Ukraine. They have a male gymnast in trampoline who is from Russia as well. He won the bronze medal at this year's European Championships. Anna Pavlova, who won a medal for Azerbaijan at the European Artistic Gymnastics Championships, is also from Russia. Aliya Garayeva, their best individual rhythmic gymnast who retired in 2012, was also born in Russia.

This should be forbidden.

Luckily for others their team had a meltdown in 2nd routine.

Bad performance from Azerbaijan eliminates them, provided nothing bad happens Germany, Uzbekistan and Greece will get the quotas.
