Yusuke Tanaka was only 0.1 behind Kato combined over the last two meets. I’d say he and Kenzo are the next two most likely to qualify for Japan’s Olympic Team.
The FINA Diving World Series is a diving competition series held annually since 2007.
This series is held around the world (the current series includes 4 events) where the divers collect points depending on their results to determine the World Series champions.
This series is reserved for only the best divers in the World …

Thanks Tom.
Over 2 days, the first being All Japan Championships. I’d say the King is ready for Rio.

Amanda Turner:
After silver medals the past two Olympics, the Japanese are aiming to recapture the Olympic team title they last won in 2004. The NHK results show a Japanese team of the top five gymnasts will be tough to beat; calculating the top three scores on each event Thursday results in a team score of 278.45 — nearly than 8 points higher than the winning 270.818 that Japan scored in the Glasgow team final.
Uchimura had already been named to the Olympic team. Kato was added based on this result. The rest of the team is yet to be named.

I noticed FIG somehow missed this CLUBS routine.
Thanks FIG. Your media team is awesome. 🙂
Worst case scenario would have been neither gymnast going to Rio.
Good luck Marisa.
And despite the controversy over the manner of Williams’ deselection—on the eve of the Test event—the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) ruled today, in a press conference at the Olympic House in Port of Spain, that Dick will go. …
Yet, even as Lewis endorsed Dick, he suggested that the TTGF could be disciplined under Clause 13 of its constitution—which is entitled “Measures and Sanctions”—and lamented the position that the TTOC found itself in. It is the first time that the TTOC has ever invoked that clause.
“It is a dark cloud over the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic movement,” said Lewis. “Public confidence in the governance of sport has been shaken… We deplore the situation that the ttoc has found itself in.”
That’s the official decision. Read Lauren Hopkin’s overview of the situation.
Kevin Crovetto was invited through the Tripartite Commission. Congratulations.
I believe this is Kevin’s photo. Correct me if I’m wrong. 🙂

#GetsMeStarted
With about 100 days to go until Team USA starts competition at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Kellogg has debuted its “What Gets You Started?” campaign, uncovering and celebrating what drives people – everyone from parents to elite athletes – to get up in the morning and uncover the possibilities of each new day.
To help tell this story, Kellogg’s has enlisted Team Kellogg’s, a group of first-time Team USA Olympic and Paralympic hopeful athletes. First-time Olympians have made up more than 55% of Team USA at the past four Olympic Games.

Max is hitting. Oleg is hitting. Manrique is rapidly improving.
Click PLAY or watch Kohei’s (not perfect) AA on YouTube. (6 apparatus)
Sooner or later someone will defeat Kohei in the AA. I’d say Uchimura is the man to beat in Rio. But the contenders may be within one fall of him at this point.
At age 27, Kohei is not sticking as consistently as he has in the past.
