Lauren Hopkins posted a good preview:
Russia, with a team featuring two Olympians (Viktoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina) and last year’s Youth Olympic Games champion (Seda Tutkhalyan), has the potential to run away with the team gold. This is the only certainty in Baku, and yet even this could go awry.
Komova hasn’t seen major international competition since 2012, Mustafina has sat out since last year’s Worlds and it’s unclear what level of difficulty she’ll be showcasing, and Tutkhalyan is a ticking time bomb with her consistency, capable of putting up great scores on vault, beam, and floor, but often falling victim to her own nerves. ..
Giulia STEINGRUBER, Fabian HAMBUECHEN, Tomi TUUHA and Eleftherios PETROUNIAS are all flag bearers for their respective nations. There may be more. 🙂
PETROUNIAS is actually competing the AA here, required by Greece for him to qualify to this team.
