This is completely absurd. Agiurgiuculese didn't deserve to qualify. As far as I understand, the national team coordinator is minimizing this decision saying that Raffaeli is still young and Paris will come soon, but this sport is very hard on the body of gymnasts and no one knows whether Raffaeli will even continue to train until 2024. Terrible decision and now I can't force myself to cheer for Italy in Tokyo anymore, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be because she doesn’t have enough international experience *eye roll* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
