Milei is going to be the last nail in Argentina's coffin. Talk about getting out of a bad situation choosing the absolute worst possible option. It pains me to even imagine what Argentina will become in the next few years, but it will be a lot more painful to actually watch it happen before my eyes. May God help them, even though God is not responsible for their bad choices.

Okay, but I have a doubt: since Alice finished ahead of Camilla, does it mean that Camilla can still qualify through the World Cup ranking? Or will this be decided only after the final?

Ahhh, você citando o meu Twitter! <3

I totally agree. At this point, just send both teams home and give the gold medal to Argentina. They've done more than both of these teams have.

I feel like he's said a lot. There's enough to make half the world happy and the other half extremely pissed off.

As always, your political comments make me cringe. You seem to be a great person, but we have antagonistic views when it comes to politics.

Wait, is Argentina now part of Europe? 😮

I can't say I'm disappointed with the sports because, being honest, I don't really care about the Olympics anymore. All I care about is gymnastics, so as long as artistic gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics are part of the program, nothing else matters. Needless to say, I won't watch any of the new additions, but I also have to say that not one of these sports seem interesting to me in the slightest.

I can't believe what happened today. I just can't. First, Andrade beats the former Olympic champion after Wevers had a very solid routine with almost no mistakes, then Flávia finally earns an individual medal on floor after 9 years! And Andrade was SO CLOSE to beating Biles! It's like a dream!

It shows...

Nemour performed the 6.7 D routine instead of the 6.9 D, so she played it "safe" here. If she had gone all the way, she would have earned gold. Still, a phenomenal result and the first-ever medal for an African nation at the senior World Championships (an Egyptian gymnast got a medal this year at Junior Worlds). Okay, I have to admire the consistency of Liu, Petrounias and You on rings, but I'm bummed for the other gymnasts. Davtyan has been chasing this medal for more than a decade now... He always comes so, so close! On pommels, it was a nice result despite a weak final. Excellent performance from the Irish gentleman and the silver-medalist from the USA, but everybody else kind of disappointed me. Still, another impressive medal for Jordan. Who would have thought? Two in a row! Floor was exciting, but I'm worried about Yulo. He deserves an Olympic medal, still his performances have not been all that great. I'm super happy with a medal for Karimi, though. He's one of my favorite gymnasts! And I don't even have to mention how excited I am to see Rebeca Andrade becoming the world champion once again! Also, I'm super happy for Yeo. She also deserved this medal so much. Biles took a risk and it did not pay off, but she is the greatest of all time and nobody will take this away from her.

I see challenging for a medal in men's trampoline, and and maybe in women's trampoline, so will have a hard time, for sure. Now, the men's artistic team is pretty strong and could realistically win the team event depending on who will compete for and . The women's team will have trouble finishing in the top 3, since on paper are stronger. I'd say that even with Black, the women's team would have a hard time earning bronze (but one can never be sure with Mexico, who had a great competition at the Pan Am Championships and a somewhat bad one at the World Championships).

This was a much better team final than last year's. score good enough for silver last year wouldn't even be enough for a medal this year. was the only team that did not count a fall today, just like in 2022, so consistency is key in winning a medal. had to count a fall, but difficulty was a lot higher this time, so we had a nice cushion. Now, all I want is: 1) a medal for Nemour; 2) a medal for Yeo; 3) a medal for Andrade on beam. Everything else that happens will be just a bonus.

France made me eat my words! The girls did NOT crumble under pressure! And Brazil with a silver medal... I'm ugly crying here!

What surprised me is that Belgium did not even manage to qualify an individual gymnast! There were 15 spots and they still failed to qualify, while much smaller women's programs like managed to qualify at least one person. I'm sure Derwael will have no trouble at all qualifying either through the World Cup series or through the all-around competition at the European Championships, but it was a hard blow to the Belgium program this time.

Nope. The rules strictly forbid nations to compete as a team with less than 5 individuals.

Definitely not "early" thoughts, but here are my thoughts nevertheless. I'm very surprised with some of the teams that qualified on the men's side, especially and the , two countries that flew under my radar. Canada went from a 238-ish at the Pan American Championships to 249, which is HUGE. Not to mention and scoring about 245, which is insanely high for these programs. Overall, I think it was a very fair competition and everyone who qualified seems to have done it the right way. I expected more from but they had a rough day and kept blaming the organization for mistakes that the gymnasts made, so... No, they don't earn my sympathy. On the women's side, even the "shocks" such as and not qualifying a team, placing 12th and back into the team game were kind of expected because the writing was on the wall all year long. Only finally managing to qualify was a real surprise, in my opinion. has a great team with lots of individual talents that unfortunately crumble under pressure and things have not been different this time either. It will be great to see and battling for a team medal, while and could be the dark horses. Probably the most exciting team final this century because everyone has a chance to walk away with a medal.

I don't think I could be any more heartbroken than I am now. 4th place tied with Italy, but tie-breaking rules gave us nothing and awarded Italy another medal. I'm really tired of following this sport. Guess it's time for me to "retire" from following gymnastics once and for all.

I agree. Some Wikipedians are hard to deal with, and I have to confess that I've wanted to abandon the project entirely a number of times before. If one user is supported by other users, especially administrators, there's not much one can do.

The senior Polish group won a gold medal at a World Cup stage this year, but I get your point. When it comes to World Championships, World Games or the Olympics, this is a first for Poland, and very, very impressive. Now, about her chances for Paris... I think they're slim. I didn't even try to understand the qualification system for Paris, but I think that her only chance to qualify will be at the 2024 European Championships. Not the best case scenario for a first-year senior. Also, she looks clean and strong, but she's scoring 30/31 (which is awesome for a junior gymnast) but the best senior gymnasts are scoring 34/35. Only time will tell what else she will be able to achieve, but don't get your hopes up until 2025.

I still can't believe nothing was broadcast in rhythmic gymnastics.

Watch out for a contributor named "buidhe". He wanted to delete my contributions to the Rhythmic Gymnastics Grand Prix article and I had to create new articles and delete old ones because it was not up to the standard he demanded. I'm definitely not going to contribute anymore to obscure articles.

History for Brazil with a gold medal on 5 hoops today! And Japan is the 18th nation to get a medal this year. However, with two stages to go, I don't think last year's record (a whooping 21 nations) will be broken.

Does anybody know where I can get the directives/rules for the Rhythmic Gymnastics Pan American Championships? On Twitter, a reliable account mentioned that the team event (the most important event for the World Championships, since top 3 teams qualify more than 1 gymnast to Worlds) will count the 8 best scores, but team events usually count the 10 best scores. This changes things quite a lot.

A medal for Egypt!!! YAAAAYYY!!! After getting so close in 1950 and 2021 in the senior division, FINALLY a medal! First-ever medal for an African nation!
