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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted June 29, 2021 #192 Share Posted June 29, 2021 has been confirmed. I guess this wraps up the qualification process. Finally. dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Griff88 1,737 Posted June 29, 2021 #196 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Just now, intoronto said: Over what? Did the FIG tell them they had a spot? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our NOC head might be looking for something to save face Claiming she's injured and declined it.We 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. thiago_simoes and Griff88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted July 2, 2021 #200 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Absolutely heartbroken for Alistratava and Likhovitsky. Two great gymnasts with a very good chance of reaching at least one of the event finals. Anyway, at least will get to keep their women's spot, and can now finally confirm their men's spot. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
