FIRST it’s essential to point out (again) that it’s dumb to have small nations like Iceland (pop. 400k) compete against huge nations like Russia (pop. 143 million).
BUT that’s what we live with in Olympic sport competitions.
NEXT is to congratulation Croatia on hosting the 2026 European Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The small venue is bright and clean. Organization seems excellent to me.
JUNIORS will go on to compete in the Apparatus Finals on Sunday, Aug. 16th. But the rest of their competition is concluded.

Certainly the talented, well-prepared gymnasts from Putin’s dictatorship are significantly ahead of the rest. In fact, they would be a good team in the Senior Team Final. 😀
Italy over France feels right to me. Italy has more difficulty. France better execution.
