Age 25, Sherine has qualified to her 3rd Olympic Games representing Egypt.
IntoGymnastics – THE OLYMPIC STORY OF SHERINE EL ZEINY
Claudia Cummins was originally invited but was not approved by the South African Olympic Committee. Her results from World Championships 2015 did not meet their minimum standards for Olympic support.
I spoke to Claudia in Glasgow and she was well aware that this would most probably be the decision. Sad, but true.

“I’d absolutely not be where I am without my mom – from the hundreds of thousands of trips to and from the gym, to enabling me to get to the competitions; from wiping my tears and encouraging me, whether for an exam or for sports… she’s always been there for me and been my strength.”
Eythora Thorsdottir got off to a rough start at yesterday’s IAG SportEvent, earning a 12.6 on beam after two big wobbles and a fall.
But the Dutch gymnast known for her beauty and expression shook herself off and went on to win the all-around title, showcasing three upgraded routines, including a creepily fabulous new (and amazingly creepy) floor for a 14.3 as well as a DTY on vault, earning a 15.033 there.
The vault upgrade is especially key, as the majority of gymnasts in the Netherlands are competing fulls, which gave the team a disadvantage in team competition. Something like this can add nearly a point to the women’s team total, meaning Thorsdottir is now all but a lock to make the team going to Rio this summer. …

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 …

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.

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.
