UPDATE: Official start list dated Oct. 14, 16:33pm still lists Lauren Mitchell as Reserve #1, Diana Laura Bulimar competing (2nd).
So far, the rumour looks to be incorrect. Leave a comment if you know more.
_____ original post …
Diana Bulimar will withdraw due to injury is the rumour (via Romanian blog Fangymnastics on Facebook), so the World Champion, the first alternate, will defend.
Romanian Gymnastics Federation website:
… “Bad news: Bulimar Diana was injured during the last exercise is now under treatment, following investigations that follow will decide if she will be able to compete in the finals of the ground.” …

Lauren would win, I predict, though she’s not been able to train as much as she’d like due to her own ankle injuries.

I’d love to see the Ferrari medal. She was ripped off last year, I thought.
