Rafa Maciel got a reaction from Gianlu33 in Artistic Gymnastics Qualification to Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024
We're a couple of weeks away from the 2023 World Championships where the next raft of quotas will be awarded so may be good time to look at the runners and riders:
Qualification Pathway Criteria 2 - 20 teams will compete for full quota of 5 gymnasts at Paris. Quotas awarded to the 9 highest ranked teams not already qualified based on their team qualification score.
Qualification Pathway Criteria 3 - The NOCs of the 10th, 11th and 12th ranked teams not already qualified will each secure 1 individual athlete quota. Again, this is based on the team qualification score.
The teams competing for the quotas under these criteria are confirmed as:
Women's Team
Men's Team

Rafa Maciel got a reaction from Josh in Artistic Gymnastics FIG World Cup 2023
In the much anticipated pommel horse showdown between Max Whitlock and Rhys McClenaghan the bragging rights went to Whitlock. He took gold with a score of 15.45 against McClenaghan's 15.1.
Whitlock upped his degree of difficulty to 6.9 (against 6.8 in qualifying) whilst McClenaghan had D score of 6.6 (up from 6.4 in qualifying). Historically I think McClenaghan has offset a lower degree of difficulty by outperforming on the execution but he wasn't able to do that today with Whitlock scoring 8.55 against McClenaghan's 8.5.
With both athletes looking close to their best, the pommel horse is shaping up to be a great competition when the World Champs come around.

Rafa Maciel got a reaction from Josh in Commonwealth Games 2026
Ultimately, the Victorian Government defaulted on a validly entered contract, so it was always likely that they were going to have to pay substantial compensation when they decided to cancel. The compensation is actually to be paid across 3 organisations - Commonwealth Games Federation, Commonwealth Games Federation Partnerships and Commonwealth Games Australia. Although the breakdown is not being made public right now, the assumption is that the lion's share will go to CGF and CGFP. This will be to compensate from the loss of revenue/sponsorship etc. from the cancellation but there would be no reason why this money could not be used to support a new host.
With regards to India - there were initial suggestions that they could be interested in stepping in as replacement and that may yet happen. Despite the points you raise, ironically the biggest factor in favour of India stepping in as hosts would be to maintain those key Indian sports on the schedule and in particular, ensuring that shooting remains in the Commonwealth schedule. As you say, Indian officials were not happy that shooting was not on the programme for Birmingham but it shouldn't really have been a surprise to anyone that this was going to be the case - the pistols used in shooting events have been banned in the UK since the Dunblane school massacre.
As for Canada, they're not on the hook for any compensation because they didn't drop out of hosting - Alberta, after exploring whether or not to bid decided not to proceed.
Now that the question of compensation has been settled, the CGF focus will turn to finding an alternate host. They will be making the argument that hosting a games does not have to cost billions of dollars but it does need "mature" hosts to come forward i.e cities that have existing facilities in place, don't need major infrastructure upgrades to be made and are willing to make pragmatic decisions.

Safe to assume they're just very slow to update - the Olympic ranking hasn't been updated since the Polish Challenger event in early August so doesn't even include the results from World Champs either.

In addition to the 15 UCI events, there is also the European Road Cycling Championships at the end of September. This, and the fact that most of the events in October are taking place in Asia or South America mean it is unlikely that we will see a huge number of the top ranked European riders in action in October so we should know where the big team quotas for Paris are going to go before the qualification window officially closes.
At the moment, and are pretty much nailed on for full team of 4 riders.
That will leave and fighting it out for the remaining 2 spots to get full team of 4 riders. All the indications are that it could be very close.
Australia is currently sitting in 4th with 5,330 points. They were defending around 350 points from last year's SIMAC tour but their results this year were not as strong so their points total should drop to around 5,000 next week. They will need strong performances from Amanda Spratt, Brodie Chapman and Ruby Roseman-Gannon in next week's Tour De Romandie if they want to secure a top five finish.
Switzerland is currently in 5th place in the world ranking with 5,146 points. They weren't defending any points from SIMAC tour and are only defending around 200 points between now and the ranking cut off in October, so they are on track to finish ahead of Australia. With both Marlen Reusser and Elise Chabbey in the Tour De Romandie, at this stage I'd say it is highly likely that Switzerland should end up with full team of 4 riders for Paris.
France is in 6th place with 5,108 points but they have not defended their 400 points from last year's SIMAC tour. This loss will be off-set by points gained in the Tour De l'Ardeche but because it is a Class 1 event, the off-setting points will only be in the range of 40-50 so I expect their points total to drop down to around 4,700 next week. At the moment, I think the only ranking French rider to be scheduled to take part in the Tour De Romandie is Juliette Labous which is going to make it difficult for them to maintain their push for top five finish unless they have stellar European Champs.
Great Britain currently has 4,686 points and are in 7th place in the world rankings. They are defending a little over 300 points between now and the close of the ranking window including 170 points from the SIMAC tour. Both Anna Henderson and Pfeiffer Georgi had a strong SIMAC tour this year and between them picked up over 600 ranking points. That would take them to around 5117 points and should be enough to move them ahead of both France and possibly Australia. Next week Anna Shackley, Claire Steels and Lizzie Deignan are all scheduled to line up for the Tour De Romandie and will hope to accumulate some additional points to keep them in the hunt for top five. Ideally, they would like at least 1 rider in the top 10 or 2 within the top 20 but it is classy field so it may come down to hoping that Australia don't outscore them.
At the moment, I think that the battle for the fifth place in the rankings and the final full quota team is likely to be between Australia and Great Britain. In theory, Britain should have a slight edge by virtue of the fact that they have the continental championships to come - but for some reason (probably smugness) GB Cycling haven't taken part in the European champs for the last few years so they are potentially writing off perhaps 100 extra ranking points which seems like a mad decision. Without the extra European Champs points, it really could go either way - my calculations have GB ahead by a little over 100 points - but may come down to how well each team does in the Tour De Romandie.
