one more spot available for the Beijing Olympics?

Beijing.jpegvrba from Slovenia has been following the controversy over how wild card slots are decided by F.I.G.

The big announcement named Artistic gymnasts from Vietnam and Yemen to the last available places. I thought the issue was resolved, at least for this cycle.

Now it seems there is one additional slot available for a man in gymnastics sports.

Confused? (I am confused.)

The full list of Olympic Qualifiers is here.

The announcement of the additional spot is here.

Seems I was wrong about one more spot being available. (Though that is the way the FIG page read to me.) And now both FIG pages are “down” for some reason. Will update this when the muddy waters clear.
