    Olympic qualification hopefuls until now:Event finals: Yeo Seo-jeong Roxana Popa All-around: Mexico and Peru are now in position for one quota each, while Sri Lanka and Iceland dropped out. Chusovitina is still hanging on.

    Japan failed hard (for their level) and will probably qualify dead last as a team. This serves them right for the worst, most asinine and illogical team selection procedures ever. Their best gymnast, Mai Murakami, who could easily win a medal on floor and maybe in the all-around, is at home now. Their men's team had a terrible session in podium training, and their best male gymnasts are also currently at home. Japan failing and being ashamed is sad, but at the same time good news, so maybe their terrible selection system will finally be changed.

    Olympic qualification. I updated the standings in my previous post. Egypt has a very good chance of qualifying.

    Olympic qualification hopefuls until now: Event finals: Yeo Seo-jeong Roxana Popa All-around: I would say that from Australia to Belarus, qualification is almost certain. From Malaysia to Croatia they have big chances. From South Africa to Norway, they might earn one of the final positions once the competition is over. From Uzbekistan to Sri Lanka, almost impossible to hold up.

    Roxana Popa 13.800 on floor and will almost certainly qualify for the final (and the Olympics!!!)! This is the best moment of this whole event until now! YES! SHE DESERVES IT SO MUCH!

    Great Britain and Italy were somewhat disappointing today. They did enough to qualify a full team, but Italy's beam rotation and Great Britain's floor rotation were extremely uncomfortable to watch. It's a pity that they managed to outscore Germany with terrible routines like that. Chusovitina is currently 19th in the all-around and I've lost all hope she could qualify. It's impossible now.
  7. thiago_simoes
    Even so, Chusovitina would have to be the 29th best non-qualified gymnast in the all-around respecting the 1 per country rule, and at the end of the first day she already sits in 18th. It's nearly impossible that only 12 gymnasts will be better than her in the second day. I expect more.
  8. thiago_simoes
    Any nation can qualify through the Asian Championships (I think... This qualification system got me really confused). China and Japan are the favorites for the quotas.
  9. thiago_simoes
    Gymnasts who should be a safe bet to qualify based on the all-around rankings: Georgia Godwin (if Australia fails to qualify as a team) Diana Varinska Lee Yun-seo Danusia Francis Kim Su Jong Aneta Holasova Marcia Vidiaux Maria Holbura Close, but still at risk of not qualifying: Elisa Haemmerle Anastasiya Alistratava Mandy Mohamed Barbora Mokosova Long shots: Filipa Martins Caitlin Rooskrantz Jonna Adlerteg Gabriela Janik Simona Castro Oksana Chusovitina EDIT: I originally counted Austria twice instead of Portugal.
  10. thiago_simoes
    I didn't watch her routine, but at least Germany finished ahead of Belgium. Germany is a program with a much more mature development, and they risk a lot more than Belgium does. Belgium plays safe with all of their gymnasts, except for Derwael. In my opinion, gymnastics should not be about playing safe. It's great to have attention to detail and clean form, but they should also focus on difficulty, or else we will see boring routines over and over again. I feel bad for Australia, a program that risks a lot more, but is seldomly rewarded.

    14.266 for Ellie Black on bars. These judges are completely out of their minds. Two things are common here: routines with terrible execution earning big scores (Black's uneven bars routine) and easy routines, severely lacking in difficulty, earning big execution scores (almost every Belgian gymnast). Ugh.

    Their junior girls are fantastic. They can, in theory, rebuild their program for the 2024 Olympics, but Golgota has to stick around. She had a terrible day today. I still can't believe it was Holbura who scored over 50 points and was the first from her nation in the all-around ranking.
  13. thiago_simoes
    And France is on fire. If they repeat this performance in the team final, I believe then can get a medal. Amazing result for them!
  14. thiago_simoes
    Not only did Romania not qualify a team, but Golgota, their best gymnast (in theory), also did not qualify. Holbura is the one who qualified through the all-around.
  15. thiago_simoes
    This qualification system is so confusing that I am completely lost. Can a country qualify two gymnasts, one through the all-around competition and one through the event finals? I thought that each nation could either have a full team, or one gymnast.
  16. thiago_simoes
    13.966 for Melanie de Jesus dos Santos on floor, even though she had a visible fall on her double turn. Unbelievable. This competition cannot be taken seriously.
  17. thiago_simoes
    South Korea's best all-arounder is Lee Yun-seo. Shocking result. This means that Yeo Seo-jeong absolutely has to win a medal on vault, or else she will not qualify.
  18. thiago_simoes
    Chusovitina apparently fell on her second vault. Bummer. Not a problem for her Olympic qualification, but a vault final will be next to impossible now.
  19. thiago_simoes
    She only competed two events at the African Games and scores 23.450 in total. Algeria's best score at the event came from Lahna Salem (43.900) which would be near the last places until now. I don't think she has a chance to qualify. Maybe one of the men will be able to qualify, especially Metedji or Bourguieg.
  20. thiago_simoes
    So, despite some small problems on beam, Belgium is for sure the first team to qualify for Tokyo. I don't quite agree with it because most of their gymnasts are average at best (except for Derwael), but it is what it is. Poor Australia. As for individual gymnasts, a score of 50+ in the all-around should be more than enough to qualify, so I'd say and have secured individual Olympic quotas.
  21. thiago_simoes
    I doubt it. Belgium is being so ridiculously overscored it hurts. Such mediocre gymnasts receiving impossibly high scores for their level. Ugh. EDIT: Teams still to go that will probably score higher than are: . will secure one team spot provided they don't have a meltdown on beam. Brazil is the team on the line now.
  22. thiago_simoes
    Not a chance, unfortunately. At all. It's nice to see improvement, though. I am confident one of the girls will easily qualify through the all-around competition.
  23. thiago_simoes
    FIG did the right thing. It's good that Biles is trying something new, but even a tsukahara is extremely rare, what means that most girls did not master this. It would be terrible if more girls felt compelled to throw a double double like Biles because it's worth a lot, and injury themselves in this process. Biles is acting like a spoiled child about this, and she's not making new fans, I can tell.
  24. thiago_simoes
    Surprising choices for the alternate gymnasts for big teams: Paseka is the alternate in Russia, and Skinner in the US team.

    Thank you. This is what I was looking for. I looked up some sources and created an all-time list of big and small medals at the World Championships (here on Wikipedia) but I was looking for something closer to an official source because I'm not sure the list is perfect as it is. It's interesting because IWF lists separate medals for the Soviet Union and CIS, but not for West Germany and Germany, or for Egypt and the United Arab Republic. Nevertheless, I listed them separately on Wikipedia. Thanks once again.
