Eythora Thorsdittor – Beam

Eef van Leeuwen:

… the second Dutch women qualification match for the European Championships 2015 in Montpellier. As in the first qualification, Eythora Thorsdittor won the All-Around.

Thorsdottir scored a massive 57.300 AA after a good competition without any big mistakes. She exhibited some beautifully performed and steady routines for Europeans. …

Chusovitina – Cottbus Vault

Cleaner than ever. πŸ™‚

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

She won this World Cup meet. To qualify to one more Olympics Oksana will need to finish top 3 at Worlds 2015. Not easy. But that’s how she did it for London. Oksana finished 2nd at the 2011 Worlds.

Oksana was 2nd on Vault, but qualified as part of Team Germany. IF Germany had not qualified a Team, she should have been named for Vault. Thanks for clarifying that, Jacob.

Volker points out there are other ways she could qualify, including the Tripartite Commission Invitation. It’s not clear that Uzbekistan is eligible for “Wild Card” selection, however. The rules seem to indicate that Uzbekistan is NOT eligible.

Hopefully FIG and IOC will find a way to get Oksana to Rio. She’s one of the very best stories in our sport.
