Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique neglected to celebrate or even announce the milestone. Happily, Hardy Fink reminded myself and many others with a Facebook post:

Petrounias’s sole route to the Games now is through the World Cup series, and with Liu looking so strong and likely to keep the spot, this looks less and less likely.
