The guy had a very serious injury, didn't have any time to recover and they made him go to the Olympics anyway. I guess he's only performing on the pommel horse and rings. Maybe parallel bars, but it would still be too risky. This is absolutely mad. Poor Dalaloyan. I hope his coaches don't push him too hard to the point this could end his career.

Russia's coach said that he has 1 month to recover

This is not even close to the usual time it takes for his injury to heal safely. They're risking his health and his career here.

Most probably he will have steroid injection then.

“We have decided on the all-around squad for the Olympic Games. We are counting on (Arthur) Dalaloyan , who still has almost a month to recover, which is going well. And there is no equivalent replacement for him. Therefore, the all-around squad is first of all ( Nikita) Nagorny , (David) Belyavsky , Dalaloyan and (Alexander) Kartsev ."

So, the plan is to add him to the team and gift him a team medal without him actually doing anything?

This is actually a beautiful homage to Dalaloyan, but unfair to other gymnasts who are working hard for their place.
