Pre-Olympics Discussion (Injured athletes, named teams, other news) starting 5/9/24

[tempest]

I would like Suni to get a medal over Nina

Rebeca Andrade's IG stories are showing the Brazilian team heading to Paris

 

[makam]

Do we know when team usa is heading over to acclimate to the timezone?

Do we know when team usa is heading over to acclimate to the timezone?

They have a prep camp in the US from July 15-17th. They get on the plane to France on the 18th.

Opening Ceremony is July 26.

ETA: This is for WAG ^^ but I'd imagine the men would be flying out around the same time.

ETA2: The men's schedule doesn't list a prep camp but they also arrive in France for pre-training in Arques with the women on the 18th.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Where's the prep camp? Don't the USA Olympic athletes go to San Jose to get their kit and swag and get lectured on being on their best behavior?

Which teams/spots are we still waiting for? I know there's no formal confirmation yet over what happens to the Oceania continental WAG spot.

 

[Gymfan93]

I think team wise is Netherlands and Italy. Italy are having their nationals this weekend so should announce very soon after.

I presume they'll also have some kind of pointless intersquad going through security at the airport also, just to make sure they meet their injury quota.

For individuals, I believe Mexico has yet to designate their +1 spot. Hungary went with Kovács over Székely to the latter's disappointment.

Oh yeah saw that this week. I have endless sympathy for Szekely, but can see why Kovacs was considered the better shout.

 

[Gymfan93]

Mexico allocated to Natalia Escalera.
There’s a full list at The gymternet here

Wasn't Szekely basically robbed of her spot when FIG messed up with vault finals replacement athletes?

It's insane that both teams are waiting so late. Opening ceremonies is on the 26th.

 

[irichluck21]

The cut off is July 9 I think to submit names.
I may be wrong though.

It’s the cut off to submit names, but you can change those names

 

[Sasha]

Italy's holding their national championships this weekend and just named the MAG team, so I assume the WAG team will be announced shortly after today's competition.
