how happy is Flávia?

1. Brazil 226.477
2. Australia 218.428
3. Switzerland 218.336
4. Romania 216.569

4 teams have yet to compete all trying for the top 4 Olympic qualification placements.

Happy. 🙂

Dipa Karmakar – Produnova

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Not a zero vault, in my opinion. Judges gave her 8.066 execution score. Final = 15.066.

FIG WTC should be more severe on dangerous landings than that.

An excellent YDT scores about 15.0

Dipa’s podium training double front was better.

Romania had a poor qualification

Australia 218.428
Romania 216.569

full scores

6 teams left to compete all trying for the final 4 Olympic team placements.

It’s difficult to imagine an Olympics without Romania in the team competition. But that’s the way it looks at this point. 😦

Last night the Romanian men failed despite an excellent team performance. What if neither team qualifies?

Ponor leads both Floor and Beam after the first of 4 qualifying rounds. But fell on Vault.

Disciplined, tough and focused, Australia did a good job. But counted a fall on Beam. They must wait on the next 3 sessions to see if they are returning to Rio with a full team.

Marisa Dick replaces Thema Williams

UPDATE – T&T says Thema has an ankle injury.

___original post:

Marisa will now compete for Trinidad and Tobago at Test Meet rather than Thema.

Thema is here with coach John Geddert. She looked good in podium training. Perhaps she was injured in the training hall.

The switch was so last minute that Marisa’s coaches could not get a visa in time. Ricardo Lue Shue will coach Marisa in Rio.

Both are great gymnasts. Either could qualify to the Olympics.
