Is the other French gal eligible to compete at these? It will be exciting to see how the team scores if so.

I believe so. Her licence has been changed to Algeria. For most events, national federations can change their provisional entries up to 24 hours before the event starts

Yes, Djenna Laroui has a license for Algeria now.

Are there any other elite gymnasts in strong countries that might consider a switch to Algeria?

The team they have for African championships is pretty strong. It will be interesting to see what they score here, but I definitely think they can challenge for Olympic qualification at worlds

Nemour's beam. This user has a lot of videos from today's competition.

I really enjoy Nemour's gymnastics, but I feel so conflicted because she's the biggest threat to my Chinese faves on UB and BB. But if she hits when they don't, it's a no-brainer, right? I'd definitely love to see her win the AA gold at Worlds this year.

WOW! They didn't just barely win they won by about 5 points.
Of course 2023 Worlds was 3 years ago, but they would have gotten 17th as a team with that score beating out Belgium.
