GRE and BRA do not have enough difficulty to challenge for the gold medal. Or even for a medal at all, I think.

Yes! India is set for gold on women's vault at the Test Event!

Dipa's second vault was great in qualifications as well. I wonder if she can get a medal at the 2017 World Championships. This would be outstanding! She deserves a world medal! Maybe she can attend to the 2017 Universiade... Does anybody know if she is on college?

.Cummins (the South African girl) is the best athlete of the African continent right now. South Africa would be crazy not to accept this quota. Now, talking about quotas... I don't get it why the official document presented by FIG states that only Edalli is eligible for Italy. If we cross Edalli out of the list for some reason, the first available option would be Morandi! And Morandi has a much bigger chance of getting into a final than Edalli.

Who is the second qualifier for Africa? The girl from South Africa who was the second best athlete from the continent at the 2015 World Championships?

O'Reilly has qualified! Amazing! Congratulations, Ireland!

Shen needs 12.400 on floor and vault. This should be easy, even with a fall.

Sazonova was born in Russia. She earned a medal with the Russian team at the 2011 Universiade, but it was clear that she had no chance to go to the Olympics if she stayed in Russia. Marina Nekrasova of Azerbaijan was also born in Russia, but she never achieved anything important in her carrer, really.

Farah Abdul deserved a better fate. She's a good gymnast, but she had a terible day. There's a chance she gets the quota through invitation, though. Tarik Soto (Costa Rica) could get the invitation in Men's Artistic, Farah Abdul (MAS) in Women's Artistic and Adisa Bjelic (BIH) in Rhythmics. This would be fair.

It's not IMPOSSIBLE, but very, very close to it. Only a miracle would make Romania qualify as a team.

60 gymnasts qualify as a team 4 individuals from teams that didn't qualify 2 from Africa 1 from the tripartite invitation Oceania will already be represented by Australia, so no quotas needed 33 countries competing for 31 quotas if Brazil and Germany qualify a full team. I think Derek is safe. Now that I think about it, it's not impossible for Ireland to score above 50.8, so BLR and COL might be the ones who will not qualify after all...

Dipa is going to qualify! I'm almost in tears here! Haha! Congratulations, India!

I would say Ireland, Jamaica and Belarus will place lower than Colombia. Especially Ireland. O'Reilly had an excellent competition last year and she barely broke the 50.0 total score. Dipa (IND) and Catalina (COL) will finish with a higher total score, I suppose.

11.700 for Dipa on the Uneven Bars! This is a lot more than what I expected! It looks like she might finish ahead of Belarus and Colombia! This is great news for India!

Romania is not going to qualify a full team. This is awful for gymnastics.

There are 33 countries competing, and 28 countries will earn and individual quota for sure. Two extra countries may qualify if Brazil and Germany qualify a full team (both are very likely to happen). That means only the three lowest ranked countries in the all-around competition will not qualify. I think Dipa is on the right track. She scores around 10.0 on the Uneven Bars and 11-12 on the Balance Beam. This should be enough to outscore Belarus for now, and even maybe Poland.

Scott Morgan.

My bad. I actually mean Deurloo.

And The Netherlands are the surprising team qualifiers once again. I would say they had no chance at all to qualify a team, and look where they finished! Wow! It looks like van Assche really made a big, big difference.

You're right. For some reason I thought the maximum number of gymnasts was 96, but it indeed is 98. This means COL and ARM have officially qualified.

They have the right to send one individual gymnast no matter where their gymnasts place in the all-around. But this was a rough competition. They will not qualify a full team for sure, which is sad. Not even Lytwyn could have saved them after this disastrous performance. The top 20 countries represented by 1 or 2 gymnasts (i.e., not teams) in the all-around will qualify for sure. Other individual quotas may be given depending on a few things (Romania qualifying a full team, for example). Since we have had 12 countries competing with individuals so far, there are still 20 countries to go and no one is officially qualified yet. But I'd say COL, ARM, CRO and AZE will qualify for sure. LTU, POR and GRE have a good shot. ARG is in trouble now, but Nicolas can still make it.

Germany is doing great so far. Canada is in trouble.

Pauline Schaefer is apparently injured and will not be able to compete at the Test Event. This is a huge blow for Germany.

Dipa didn't perform her routines at the World Championships last year to the best of her ability. If she has a good day with no falls from any of the apparatus, she will make it to Rio.

He wouldn't stand much of a chance of qualifying with the level of the field, to be honest. Dipa, on the other hand, has a big chance on her hands. She only needs to finish the competition outside of the bottom three, if things go the way I believe they will.
