GBR, FRA, SPN, ITA to Olympics

#FIGTest12

Great Britain was fantastic. But they really should have done this in Tokyo where I had predicted a 3rd place team rank. πŸ™‚

Spain are the BIG winners today. Congratulations.


Olympics team qualified:
1.GBR 358.227
2.FRA 350.659
3.ESP 347.292
4.ITA 346.334

5.CAN 345.892
6.BRA 345.152
7.PUR 340.092
8.BLR 335.824

Italy surprised a lot of people too. And of all 8 teams I felt Brazil had the gutsiest performance.

Canada must go back to the drawing board. The team strategy of going “clean” on comparatively less difficult routines did not work in Tokyo or London. 😦

No disrespect to the Canadian gymnasts or coaches. I love this program. But it wasn’t enough in 2011. Men’s Gymnastics is unbelievably competitive worldwide.
