4 Olympic Wildcards confirmed

MAG
Mohammed Sherif El Saharty(Egypt)
Wajdi Bouallegue (Tunisia)

Wajdi is an Olympian

WAG
Ashleigh Heldsinger (South Africa)
Salma Mahmoud El Said Mohamed (Egypt)

All gymnasts will be representing Africa. Two more wild cards — one each in MAG and WAG — are yet to be determined by the IOC Tripartite Commission. …

Full Twist

Those 4 were chosen confirmed by the (elected) FIG Executive Committee.

TAA’s Elizabeth clarifies:

The qualifying rules state that participation includes at minimum two gymnasts from each continent (one from Oceania) and if there are not two gymnasts qualified by other means, the best ranked gymnasts from the continent in CI at 2011 Worlds will get the spots.

And in FIG’s original list of Olympic qualifiers from after the Test Event, you’ll see two spots for both MAG and WAG specified for Continental Representation – Africa.
