Sanna Veerman is injured and won't be able to compete at the Dutch WAG final qualifier this weekend. Noah Kuavita also out. This is turning into an injury thread! Eta- Rhys is also injured...

Nothing that I've seen. Maybe that will flow from whatever she decides about gymnastics.

Was she training the double double on bars back then? She only did the full in Rio.

That seems toothless.

Agree. As things stand, Italy are the ones to beat. But the US are still too up in the air, even with Jade confirming yesterday that she won't try for Jakarta. So I have added my thumbs up, but reserve the right to change it!

Draws for qualifying are out

If that beam final comes together, and I realise I have spoken from the book of the dead now, the field could be very good for so early in the quad. We've already seen some promising to good work from Esposito, Eythora, D'Amato, Leat, Voinea and now there's Osyssek's layout full too.

Shocked I am!

Would love to see it. They must fancy themselves as contenders, and CWG is better when more than 3 teams have a chance. On the Welsh point, I'd assumed it must be one or both of CWG eligibility, especially for those who couldn't assume they'd make major GB teams, and funding.

This must be the first majority Welsh GB team?

Courtney?

Some limits on the apparatus seems unavoidable, since everything has to fit into the arena space simultaneously. Not letting MAG vault might be more of a logistics thing, though not insurmountable. But other things about the format still seem odd. I still think it would make most sense to let...

Mmm I tend to agree, the likeliest 2 tenths are the ones on the dismount.
