Rhythmic gymnastics is a lot safer than artistic.

Not exactly. Ana Luiza Filiorianu is a prime example of how dangerous rhythmic gymnastics can be, and it looks like Dina Averina has been suffering with injuries that Russia is desperately trying to hide. It might not be as risky as artistic gymnastics, but it's not "a lot" safer in any way.

:CAY has been confirmed. I guess this wraps up the qualification process. Finally.

Not yet, the Indonesians haven't made a ruckus :lol:

Over what? Did the FIG tell them they had a spot?

No. Their own NOC claimed they had one, and told their gymnast she was going to Tokyo. Imagine how heartbreaking it must be for her now.

A few months back the NOC head claimed we got a spot from reallocation.

 

Of course I am aware she wasn't, and the athlete herself did not react to the news (her coach also said that she is waiting for further confirmations). But the whole media already hyped it and even the national news agency published the news.

 

Our NOC head might be looking for something to save face :noshake:

Claiming she's injured and declined it.:dWe have some similar situation. We have 3 quotas in men's sprint kayaking but claiming we can attend all events, including K4. It confused fans but media just happily announced that we can attend all sprint canoeing events. I am looking forward to seeing how it ends.

I wasn't aware of this injury, and after watching the video I wish I hadn't known :yikes:

Absolutely heartbroken for Alistratava and Likhovitsky. Two great gymnasts with a very good chance of reaching at least one of the event finals.

Anyway, :BLR at least will get to keep their women's spot, and :CZE can now finally confirm their men's spot.
