    Greece has been on the brink of not qualifying for years now. Finland should be rewarded for the fantastic job they have done recently. But maybe I'm asking for too much. Things have been extremely fair until now.

    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.

    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.

    Nekrasova from Azerbaijan is still ahead of Malaysia (by 0.001, unfortunately). I didn't know Costa Rica is not allowed to apply for a quota. The Panamanian girls are better choices. Brostella won a bronze medal at the 2014 Pan American Sports Festival, and Amado two won medals at the 2012 and 2013 South American Championships.

    Don't forget Costa Rica (Tarik Soto Byfield) and Malaysia (Farah Abdul). Costa Rica is sending only 3 people to the Olympics according to Wikipedia. Byfield qualified to the Test Event and is fifth reserve for the quota. In women's artistic, I think Cayman Islands will get the quota. FIG even stated in an official document that they were proud a gymnast from Cayman Islands made it to the Olympics (Youth Olympics, in 2014), and I think they could make this statement again (this time in the "big" Olympics).

    GRE and BRA do not have enough difficulty to challenge for the gold medal. Or even for a medal at all, I think.
  7. thiago_simoes
    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?
  11. thiago_simoes
    O'Reilly has qualified! Amazing! Congratulations, Ireland!
  12. thiago_simoes
    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.
  14. thiago_simoes
    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.
  15. thiago_simoes
    It's not IMPOSSIBLE, but very, very close to it. Only a miracle would make Romania qualify as a team.
  16. thiago_simoes
    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...
  17. thiago_simoes
    Dipa is going to qualify! I'm almost in tears here! Haha! Congratulations, India!
  18. thiago_simoes
    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.
  19. thiago_simoes
    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!
  20. thiago_simoes
    Romania is not going to qualify a full team. This is awful for gymnastics.
  21. thiago_simoes
    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.
  23. thiago_simoes
    My bad. I actually mean Deurloo.
  24. thiago_simoes
    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.
  25. thiago_simoes
    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.
