Oh, this is unpredictable. and are very closely together. Even is one of them does not qualify now, he will probably qualify through the World Cup.

I'm afraid I couldn't understand. You can write in French if you want in a private message.

Not sure. I have to read the qualification document again. I was under the impression that 3 quotas is the maximum a NOC that has not qualified a team could get, but yesterday I read it again and I believe 7 is the maximum number of quotas, not 3. I'll have to check it again.

Yes! So Sofus Heggemsnes has qualified! Yaaaay!

Olympic qualifiers: Team: (qualified in 2018), Qualified through the event finals: FX: Artem Dolgopyat PH: Rhys McClenagham, Cyril Tommasone SR: 3 gymnasts ( can qualify) VT: Shek Wai Hung, Le Thanh Tung, Marian Dragulescu PB: Ahmet Onder HB: Tin Srbic, Tyson Bull Qualified through the all-around: Carlos Yulo Manrique Larduet Ludovico Edalli Milad Karimi Loris Frasca Robert Tvorogal Alexander Shatilov Ferhat Arican Artur Davtyan David Huddleston Bart Deurloo Daniel Corral Qualified through reallocation of quotas: Rene Cournoyer Rasuljon Abdurakhimov Marios Georgiou Ivan Tikhonov David Rumbutis Andrey Likhovitskiy Sofus Heggemsnes

South Korea slightly outscored Italy after 2 apparatus.

Olympic hopefuls after subdivision 6/8 (assuming Germany can potentially qualify a team):Team: Apparatus:FX: PH: SR: VT: PB: HB: AA: Reallocations: (if not qualified on vault) It looks like every country from Cuba to Cyprus will qualify either through all-around or reallocation. Azerbaijan, Belarus and Norway should be fine too. Vietnam's gymnast has put himself in a complicated situation now. I was sure he would qualify, but with strong contenders still to come from Armenia and Dominican Republic on vault, his Olympic quota might be on the line now.

With and to come, it's hard. France absolutely needs one of these teams to screw up, and both and cannot score more than France either. And of course there's which is already qualified.

Nothing but disappointment today with and . At least Lithuania should qualify through the all-around. Mexico and Canada have probably done enough to qualify through the all-around too, but we shall see. Good news for Italy so far.

Sorry, I totally missed this. His routine was fantastic and he deserves to be in the final. I don't think there are many gymnasts who could come close to Lodadio's score. De Luna (MEX), Radivilov (UKR), Howard (USA) and Tovmasyan (ARM) are the only ones with realistic chances, unless there's a big surprise (especially from Japan). Scores are usually very fair in men's events. Turkey received very high marks in some events despite taking part in initial subdivisions too. The "problem" is that the level is too close in men's gymnastics, unlike women's gymnastics where a handful of nations dominate the events.

Olympic hopefuls after subdivision 4/8:Team: Apparatus: Floor: Artem Dolgopyat Milad Karimi (and Nicolau Mir if Spain doesn't qualify a team) Pommel horse: Rhys McClenaghan (and Cyril Tommasone if France doesn't qualify a team) Still rings: Ibrahim Çolak Eleftherios Petrounias (and Samir Ait Said if France doesn't qualify a team, Marco Lodadio if Italy doesn't qualify a team) Vault: Le Thanh Tung Parallel bars: Ahmet Onder (and Ferhat Arican if he doesn't qualify through the all-around) Horizontal bar: Slight chances for Nicollo Mozzato and Carlo Macchini, but I believe they will drop out of the final by tomorrow. All-around (I'll consider that Germany and Spain will qualify a team; otherwise, they qualify individuals 1 and 2 here): Manrique Larduet Ludovico Edalli Milad Karimi Loris Frasca Alexander Shatilov Ferhat Arican David Huddleston Ivan Tikhonov Andrey Likhovitskiy Sofus Heggemsnes David Jessen Tomas Gonzalez Up for reallocation spots: Lee Thanh Tung (currently also second on vault, so he could qualify through the apparatus final if he fails to qualify through the all-around) Santiago Mayol Vinzenz Hoeck Andres Martinez Nikolaos Iliopoulos Ryan Sheppard

Up to three. 1) Frasca will probably qualify through the all-around. 2) Ait Said (still rings) must finish in the top 3 among nations that did not qualify a team. So far we have Turkey, Greece and probably Italy in the final; if Italy doesn't qualify a team, that makes 4 eligible gymnasts ( Ait Said, Çolak, Petrounias and Lodadio) for 3 quotas. And tomorrow we'll probably have qualifying for the final, what makes it even more confusing. 3) Tommasone could qualify through the pommel horse, if he makes it to the final (he's currently 4th). Once again, we should worry about nations without a qualified team, and is already one of them. Probably or or even could qualify and make things confusing too.

It is expect that and will finish ahead of Brazil. Then there's and with good teams too, and maybe all of them could sneak ahead of Germany. I would say that even has a small chance of qualifying, but definitely not . As it is, only and are in safe positions for qualifying, though I believe should not worry too much either. Not so sure about , though.

Yeeees! We qualified!!!

I expect 6-10 extra quotas after reallocation, but it would be easier for him to qualify through the event finals if all-around scores keep rising like this. You're right.

I can't believe we'll not qualify a men's team either. This is a nightmare.

I completely forgot about Zahran on rings. Only three countries can qualify in a single apparatus, so we will probably have finalists on rings not qualifying for the Olympics.

Yes, but it will be hard, I think. Still, there's a chance for him, yes.

Yes. They can perform in all events.

Olympic hopefuls after subdivision 3/8:Team: Apparatus: Artem Dolgopyat (Floor) Rhys McClenaghan (Pommel horse) Ibrahim Çolak (Still rings) Samir Ait Said (Still rings) Eleftherios Petrounias (Still rings) There's a chance for with Marco Lodadio on rings too if Italy fails to qualify a team, but he's currently fourth and could miss the final. All-around: Manrique Larduet Ludovico Edalli Milad Karimi Loris Frasca Alexander Shatilov Ferhat Arican Ivan Tikhonov Andrey Likhovitskiy Sofus Heggemsnes David Jessen Tomas Gonzalez Lee Thanh Tung (currently also second on vault, so he could qualify through the apparatus final if he fails to qualify through the all-around) Vinzenz Hoeck Andres Martinez Nikolaos Iliopoulos Ryan Sheppard Scores in the all-around are a lot higher than I predicted, so there's a chance even 78 will not be enough. It might go as high as 80. Insane.

Nope. As far as I could understand, only three gymnasts can qualify if a nation does not qualify a team. For a team to take part, they need to start with 4 gymnasts. I would say it's unlikely for Canada to repeat this score. Judging here is very strict on the still rings and parallel bars. I believe we should consider deducting 2 or 3 points from was achieved at the Pan Ams for an equivalent score here, based on the judging.

Yes. Not even huge scores on pommel could save them now. They need 43.802 to outscore Italy, and this means 14.600 per routine. Impossible. But this opens up a very interesting scenario: if Onder finishes ahead of Arican in the all-around and Çolak qualifies for the event final on rings, three Turkish could qualify for the Olympics (Onder in the all-around, Arican in parallel bars and Çolak in rings).

Funny thing is that one Nigerian (Uche Eke) is the reigning champion on the pommel horse at the African Games. I don't know why he did not compete here.

Floor is where I suspected Turkey was going to lose it, but they managed to score over 40. Their insane parallel bars rotation (43.2) provides a very comfortable cushion for them even if they don't do very well on pommels. Either way, they are on the track to qualify a full team for the first time ever (and maybe even make it to the event finals).
