2024 Olympics NOC With 3 Gymnast "Teams" -"Team Competition" and Other Fun Data and Historical Facts Thread

[irichluck21]

Thought it would be fun to see what happens to the 3 MAG NOCs and 5 (!) WAG NOCs that qualified their maximum 3 individual competitors and create a "team total" to see where the "team" would rank in TQ. Since TQ is 5-4-3, these "Teams" will be made up of 3 athletes, unsure if we will see them all go all around.

We can award gold, silver, and bronze in the 3 person team event! Who knows maybe we might see them rank higher than a full team in TQ (unofficially).

this is a cool idea, and it's amazing to see 8 different "teams" like this in one Olympics.

None of the MAG 3 countries put up 3 in the AA so no "team score"...but curious what their average per routine would be. I'll run the data soon.

Mexico, Spain, and Philippines have all 3 gymnasts doing aAA according to the start list.

Hungary and Germany have 2 AAers and a specialist.

That will be fun to see which of those three "win" and how their 3 up 3 count would compare with everyone else's 4 up, 3 count.

Biles is one Olympic medal from surpassing Shannon Miller as most decorated American Olympic gymnast. She's held that since 1996 and Biles tied with her in Tokyo beam finals.

 

[RedBirdie]

152.696 for Philippines. Quite far off, Netherlands is currently last at 159.096.

Mexico didn't end up having 3 routines on every event. Escalera was only able to do bars due to injury.

 

[irichluck21]

Both Phillippines and Spain would have beaten Korea!
Spain 153.462, Phillippines 152.696.

I hope that the Phillippines trio continues toward Los Angeles. This score here would have been 17th at Worlds. This is with not being able to drop a score.

 

[irichluck21]

The other three countries didn't have 3 scores on all events.

 

[RedBirdie]

Korea had a terribly difficult day. Only one score above 13.....which was Yeo's 14.4 on vault. Every other counting score was in the 12s.

 

[irichluck21]

This is true, they did have a bad day. But also I think Finnegan fell off beam as well?

 

[irichluck21]

If Suni wins a beam medal tomorrow, she will tie Shannon Miller for 2nd morst decorated US Olympic gymnast in history.
A gold would put her above Shannon with 3 golds to Shannon's 2.
