Gymnast Crossing:

… The gym is like a second home. How do you treat your home?

If you see trash lying around, do you pick it up? Or wait in hopes that the responsible party will return to do it, himself? Or trust that someone else will do it? Just not you? …

Have some character and integrity: Do the right thing. Clean up after yourself and others. Don’t wait around for a coach to tell you; don’t expect to be recognized or praised, either. Do it because it’s the right thing to do- and do it especially when you think no one is looking.

Take ownership of the gym. …

official FIG statement – Olympics 2020

FIG via email:

The Council also approved with an overwhelming majority the principles of the new qualification system and competition calendar for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Under the approved system, the number of gymnasts in the team competition will be reduced from five gymnasts to four, opening up 24 extra spaces for male and female gymnasts at the Olympic Games.

Up to two gymnasts from countries already qualified for the team competition would be eligible to compete as All-arounders or on their specialities based on a qualification system that includes results from the Continental Championships, World Cup and World Challenge Cups.

So. The additional gymnasts can compete AA or be specialists.
