If she is unable to compete at the 2023 African Championships to get to Worlds, then she can still qualify through the 2024 Continentals (All-Around only) or 2024 World Cup Series.As far as we know she can’t compete in most competitions in 2023, right? Her year out for switching countries expires sometime in the summer, which would be too late for any of the events which act as qualifiers for the World Championships.
Has that changed? Last I saw, World Cup qualifiers are limited to the event they qualify for.Olympic apparatus qualifiers can compete on all apparatus though, like in Tokyo, and unlike the qualification system for Worlds.
Honestly, I really don’t like this at all.In the Olympic qualification rules, in the sections about qualification via the Apparatus World Cup and via Apparatus results at Worlds, there is the line
“At Paris 2024 these Apparatus Athletes may participate on all apparatus in the Qualifications”
There is also provision for a tiebreak if the same athlete finishes in a qualifying position on multiple apparatus (as happened with Jade Carey last time).
This is probably going to cause a lot of confusion this year because it’s different from the qualification system for Worlds.
So overall less gymnastics being done at the Olympics.I am sure I am in the minority here, but I just feel like if you qualify due to winning a particular apparatus, then that is your path to the Olympics, not as an all arounder.
This is a non-comparison. These are TEAM athletes who were selected to compete because thc country qualified a full team.Why let Jordan Chiles do AA in Tokyo? She didn’t qualify USA a team to the Olympics. The only person who did AA in TF in '18 Worlds that qualified the team was Simone. Suni wasn’t there either, so no AA for Suni. What makes these gymnasts more deserving than the individuals that are doing the work to directly qualify themselves?
