2024 WAG Euros qualifying/Olympic individual qualifying/AA

[Bob]

This is stupid actually. 2 per country to qualify to finals is one thing but this is another. I think the 2-per rule is mostly so more gymnasts are in finals, not just 2 or 3 countries. Give that bronze to Andreoli!!!!

Totally agree very unfair but follows the rule as pointed out only 2 would have made an aa final so only 2 can medal.

I'm pleased for Abi but sad for Ruby not making a final. Thought she did a good steady job. Her beam routine was nice apart from the fall.

Unusual for a British gymnast to be 2’perd from a floor final

yes I know and she came 12th AA which isn't shabby either. Good for her.

And when you consider it, there are 3 British gymnasts who’d outscore her if they weren’t injured. It seems that it’s become GB’s best event

There Becky goes again hitting for the team!

I think many of the UB routines were underscored today and this is one of them. Don't see any valid reason to give less than 8.5E. Great showing and smart to take out the 3rd Tkatchev for now.

I’ve had a soft spot for Sweden since the tri-meet just before LIverpool worlds. So pleased their lovely form and technique
has made TF.

 

[Puffin]

Well who would have thought it? GB's top scorer on BB (and reserve for BB final) - Becky Downie!!!

Oh - and - Heja Sverige!! (Go Sweden)

Love that Sweden reaction video!

Making a Euro final might not seem like a big deal and they won't win a medal. But huge accomplishment and speaks to their continued improvement with beautiful and clean gymnastics. Making the team final is a bolster to their program.

Can definitely see Sweden making a push for 2028, reminds me of the upward trajectory that Belgium had prior to Rio.

Maybe the gym gods won’t take her… despite Italy’s best attempts to offer her up.

Way cool skill from today


Also, where did they ever get those leos?! I haven't seen that GK design in at least 10 years, maybe more. (Love it)

 

[tempest]

that is a cool skill but it seems harder than a Comaneci(which is an E I think)

This is awesome!

Yeah should probably be an F. Very difficult to not get an amplitude deduction on this skill (even with the more relaxed rule afforded to Comaneci-type skills) or get any connection bonus from it. This has me thinking about the Reverse-Toe and Endo versions: will they be regarded as "Comaneci" variants or "Jaeger" variants? With the Endo it's especially hard to say because there's quite a bit of wiggle room on the release timing (could release during the swing back or could go up more towards handstand first). I think either way it will be impossible to catch above the bar on that release, so I'd treat it like a Comaneci.

Would Maellyse Brassart has a change to reach AA final in Olympics?

Its possible. Her score yesterday was around what the lowest AA final qualifiers got in worlds prelims.

 

[wishfulgoddess]

I am so excited to see that skill! I constantly have imaginary routines going around in my head, and that is one of the imaginary skills I've been using for many years. I love seeing it done in real life!

 

[blake]

Not to be a buzz kill, but Aja Sims competed this back in 2011. It's still super cool!

D’Amato’s injury is confirmed to be a torn ACL. How awful for her to have her season end by injury 3 years in a row.
