Austria’s Lisa Ecker to Olympics

This post was updated to correct numerous errors. Oops.

Like Marisa Dick, Jasmin Mader from Austria arrived in Rio just hours before the competition.

But had falls on Bars & Beam.

Jasmin was replacing Elisa Hämmerle who tore her Achilles tumbling in podium training. (I saw that tumbling pass. It did not look like a full Achilles tear. I assumed it was an ankle injury, at the time.)

Lisa Ecker hit 4/4 in the AA for 53.132 to qualify herself & Austria to the Olympics.

  1. That’s incorrect. Austria had 2 spots and both girls would have competed. Lisa arrived a week before the Test Event. Jasmin Mader replaced Elisa Hämmerle and flew in the day of the competition.

    1. Thanks judge. I got it completely wrong.

      The post has been updated. I believe I’ve got it right now. (Reading Google translate from German language news reports.)
