WAG Canada is clearly looking at a team finals mindset.
Black and Tran will do AA, looking like Olsen VT, Stewart UB, Lee BB/FX
I would assume Stewart will do AA in TQ with the question mark of who does bars in TQ, Olsen or Lee?
 
Evita Griskenas took a lot of time off to recover from a nagging injury and resumed training in May. She didn't compete at nationals but she's planning to compete in Paris.

Can you fill us in on the European RG situation?

The European continental qualifying spot went to Vera Tugolukova, representing Cyprus.

Basically, it seems to be alleged that the Cypriot head of the Superior Jury, who is also the President of European Gymnastics' Rhythmic Technical Committee, abused the powers of the Superior Jury to rig the competition in favour of the Cypriot gymnast. Poland, whose gymnast just missed out on the spot, have stated their intention to appeal to CAS.

This is the second Olympics in a row that the continental qualifying in Rhythmic has (allegedly) been affected by a judging scandal, after Oceania in 2021 (as a result of which this year's Oceania Championships were held in Budapest alongside Euros), so if these allegations are true the IOC is likely to be seriously unimpressed.
 
You can pretty much see what Simone's EF draws are going to be.
 
that is a pretty good recovery for her. Bronze unless people falter and she can repeat as gold?
