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 up to us to up our game amidst the nations of the second table. After that, we’d like to be represented within the top 15 in the all-around, and, as icing on the cake, have 1 event finalist. It is ambitious but within our reach, given our potential.

Maggie Nichols – Floor
Maggie would be the BEST gymnast on almost every Olympic team in the world. But Team USA selectors could not rank her in the top 8 for Rio. 😦

Laurie Hernandez – Olympian
I don’t think there are any doubters left. Laurie is the real deal. And a real threat for an Olympic AA medal.
Her Beam precision matches the best of the Chinese gymnasts. I don’t anticipate USA being weak on Beam in Rio. 🙂
