2024 WAG Euros qualifying/Olympic individual qualifying/AA

[MaryClare]

I actually quite like doing the AA like this. Especially since the better gymnasts are in the later subdivisions, they are going in knowing what they need to score

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Wow, with Barbosu’s really bad day, Romania has a good chance of making the podium in team finals.

Is there a stream for today?

Westlund (SWE) needs 12.633 on floor to pass Brassart (12.633 on floor would tie 11th)
Williams (SWE) would need 12.866 on floor to pass Brassart
Masova (CZE) needs 13.400 on beam to pass Brassart (13.400 would be 3rd best beam score behind Maneca-Voinea and Boyer)
Holasova (CZE) needs 14.166 on beam to pass Brassart
Kickinger (AUT) needs 14.200 on bars to pass Brassart

Brassart is likely safe but Westlund appears to be having an incredible meet.

Thank you! It's either buggy or geoblocked, unfortunately.

Some people on reddit had to disable their adblocker first. Not sure where they were located.

That was the problem! Thanks.

I personally think doing the AA final in qualifications is a complete joke and it shows how badly this sport is run. AA is supposed to be the showpiece event, with the best gymnasts in the continent all going head to head at the same time, yet it won't even be televised.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Sweden are having a really good day. They only need about a 12.5 average on floor to pass Germany.

 

[RedBirdie]

Maellyse Brassart is safe, Williams only scores an 11.933 on floor.

Maellyse Brassart is safe, Williams only scores an 11.933 on floor.

Williams would've gone ahead if she'd hit beam. She also had a bizarre end to her floor, squatted down in wolf turn position but then didn't. Though wolf turns are not a guaranteed net positive addition to a score, so maybe she did herself a favour.

Sweden went ahead of Belgium but are behind Germany. Currently sitting in 5th, just on the cusp of TFs.

1	FRA	France	159.130
2	ROU	Romania	158.798
3	ESP	Spain	154.462
4	GER	Germany	153.697
5	SWE	Sweden	152.430
6	BEL	Belgium	151.730

It's not impossible Sweden make the final - Italy, GB and the Netherlands should go ahead of them, but 152 is not a given for a Hungarian team without Kovacs.

My thoughts exactly.

The Dutch are missing their top 3, but I'd still expect them to finish ahead of Belgium.

Is there a live scores link?

Hopefully smartscoring works better than it has in the past.

Good starts for GB and especially Italy. 41.866 is a really competitive total on beam. It's more than anyone got at worlds.

 

[irichluck21]

Esposito with a huge 14.200 on beam to take the lead on that event.

I think this year, it's going to hurt even more than usual when Italy all get injured in the run up a major championship.

They do an all around final in odd years and team final in even years.
2021 and 2023 had individual AA. They added the team event for the sake of qualification to Worlds.
In the previous quads it was the same way.
2017 and 2019 were individual Europeans. 2018 and 2020 were Team Europeans.

2023 was technically an individual Euros, but with the new Worlds format of continental qualification, they needed to have a team portion, simply to qualify countries to Worlds.
