Swiss Men’s Gymnastics team in Rio
UEG: What are your objectives in Rio?
Laurent Guelzec: In reality, they are threefold. First of all, the priority is qualifying to the team final. 12 teams start, of which 5 –China, Japan, USA, Russia and Great Britain- are clearly out of reach. This is obvious.

It is ambitious but within our reach, given our potential.
