Beautiful Gymnastics:
At worlds qualifications in Antwerp, only 3 gymnasts can compete each event. This means that there isn’t room for 3 gymnasts to battle it out for the all around final and have a fourth specialist compete for her chance in event finals …
It’s no bother to Romania who are only bringing three girls but it makes US Nationals more important as it will effectively decide their second all-arounder, as they also cannot have Simone Biles, Kyla Ross and Brenna Dowell/ Peyton Ernst/ Elizabeth Price battling it out in qualifications.
This makes the inclusion of a beam/bars specialist like Peyton Ernst/Abigail Milliet or a healthy Katelyn Ohashi more likely …
This is the first time I’ve heard only 3 of the 4 competitors can compete each apparatus in Belgium. Markus recalls it being this way for some time.
Antwerp COULD have been a perfect meet for Katelyn Ohashi, if only she wasn’t injured.
