Neither men nor women.

Seems like a bad dream. 😦 Respect this team and great ROM history.

1. BRA 226.477
2. GER 223.977
3. BEL 221.438

Australia is the team that just misses. 😦 Last cycle it was Belgium first reserve team.

Romania had a poor qualification

full scores

6 teams left to compete all trying for the final 4 Olympic team placements.

It’s difficult to imagine an Olympics without Romania in the team competition. But that’s the way it looks at this point. 😦

Last night the Romanian men failed despite an excellent team performance. What if neither team qualifies?

Ponor leads both Floor and Beam after the first of 4 qualifying rounds. But fell on Vault.

Disciplined, tough and focused, Australia did a good job. But counted a fall on Beam. They must wait on the next 3 sessions to see if they are returning to Rio with a full team.
