Still no word about it, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Besides, depending on which countries qualify a full team through the test event, individuals from the eight lowest ranked countries in the individual all-around competition may not qualify. On the women's side, things are much easier. In the worst case scenario, individuals from the two lowest ranked countries will not qualify. I don't think Dipa would finish last, or second last. So, I believe she has a HUGE opportunity to qualify if she really makes it to the Test Event.

We can always check the results in Wikipedia, unless it's a really obscure competition. And the new format is much better.

Figure Skating, Curling and Bobsleigh.

This article says that Colombia has formally received an invitation for the Test Event, since North Korea gave up their two quotas. This means that India gets the second invitation, I believe. Great news for Dipa!

One of my friends said that North Korea and Colombia will not send girls to the Test Event. Does this mean that Dipa Karmakar of India could make it to the competition? The definitive registrations have been released, so I'm not sure they would allow any changes now, but that would be AMAZING for India if she could sneak in somehow. Any news about that?

Thanks. No participation from the host nation? We had a rough time at the PanAms, so I guess the experience from the Test Event would have come in handy for the Brazilian team before the Olympics.

I am trying to follow the event, but there's little to no information available in Brazil. This is a shame. What countries are taking part in the team competition?

It's nice to see the forum up and running. I hope everything is back to normal by the time the Rio Olympics starts.
