Mixed Cup Medal at the 2028 Olympics?

[MaryClare]

The official schedule for the LA Olympics is out. The Mixed Team Final will be the last event held for Artistic, after event finals are finished. So it won't be interfering with anyone's medal chances in the traditional events.

It's almost like a gala but with an Olympic medal on the line.

I wonder when the federations have to confirm their participants for it

Yeah, is it based on scores and only the top gymnast can compete or can the federation choose? Cuz an event like that would be a great shot for an athlete like Hezly who was twiddling thumbs after TQ but I think Simone would have cut a bitch if they told her she had to get out there and do another almost AA.

At Euros, it was the individuals rather than the country who qualified. If the top qualifying gymnast from France or wherever pulls out, the spot goes to the next country down, even if the second best French athlete outscored them.

Which is not to say it'll be the same here. And I hope it's not. The event has the best chance of being viable if countries can mix it up a bit.
