Israeli requires that their gymnasts confirm readiness to be sent to the Olympics by finishing top 12 AA at the European Championships 2012. Or top 6 in any apparatus final.
That’s confirmed by Valeria on this post:
… A bit about me
I’m Valeria Mksiota, 24 years old and I’m Artistic Gymnastic athlete. I started training when I was 5, and has been training for 20 years. I have dedicated my life to this sport and today I found myself only one small step from my biggest dream – the possibility to join Israel’s Olympic team and represent the country in London …
… In 2011, I won 27 medals in international competitions, 13 of them gold medals. …
That links to a training video. And a fund-raising request.
It would be a terrible shame if Valeria was not confirmed by Israel. She’s one of the most exciting gymnasts in the world.

I love her unique double front 1/1-out dismount on Bars.
