Germany, Ukraine, Netherlands, France to Olympics
It was an incredible Team competition. Sadly there was no video stream from the Test Meet. Unless you happen to follow Arthur Nory on Periscope.TV 🙂
1. Germany 350.609
2. Ukraine 350.160
3. Netherlands 347.444
4. France 346.583
Romania just missed as Canada did last Olympics. The worst team placement. 😦
So far as I can recall, Romania went 30/30 without a fall. They did the job.
Dutch men and women both qualified. 🙂

top 4 teams in Rio …
1. Germany 350.609
2. France 346.583
3. Romania 344.148
4. Spain 342.725
… so far. Left to compete are Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine.
The top 4 teams at the end of the day qualify to the Olympics.
German redemption
During the last Olympic cycle it was Great Britain who missed at Worlds 2011 and were forced to qualify at Test Meet.
This cycle it was Germany.
Fabian Hambüchen is still out with shoulder pain that doesn’t want to go away. Many in Germany were worried the team won’t qualify here.
But Germany had a terrific team competition in the first of 3 flights of men’s preliminaries. Everyone is very confident they will rank one of the top 4 teams. Most likely #1.
