Not surprised really. He seemed over gymnastics at Worlds in 2019. Surprised he has waited this long to confirm.

Youd hope his replacement has known about this for a while?!

Hopefully the replacement has still been training.

If any nominative is injured it gets reallocated.
If I am one of the 4 reserves I am going to keep training.

It looks like Asian Championships are cancelled so those will get reallocated to next in line from 2019 Worlds. Hopefully those athletes have continued training!!!

100%. It is gymnastics. You’d be foolish not to keep training until the first green light goes on in Tokyo.

What a very cool thing for their fam!

Reliving the glory of this routine and Ricna’s reverse planche <3
