USA, Japan, Russia
Balance Beam Situation crunched the numbers. Ranked teams based on best scores over competitions held the past 6 months.
- USA – 173.850
- Japan – 171.150
- Russia – 170.881
NATIONAL TEAM RANKINGS – AUGUST 2017
Of course there’s no team competition at Worlds this year. Nations will bring the athletes with the best chance to qualify to a final rather than those who could put together the best team score.
Second priority will be sending new gymnasts with potential … for Worlds experience.

– they are related to a gymnast by birth or marriage in direct or in collateral line, including the following persons: grandparent, parent, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, child, grandchild, nephew and cousin.
The definition shall be applied immediately.
