Happy the German group qualified for Rio!
Shocking to see that Brazil group placed ahead of Azerbaijan group
I won`t complain though. I am happy for the Brazil girls _________________ Magdalena Brzeska Alina Maximenko Ganna Rizatdinova Melitina Staniouta Jana Berezko-Marggrander Laura Jung Evgenia Kanaeva |

Thanks. Jana
I remember before last Olympics (London) there was an extra competition in Germany between Jana Berezko-Marggrander and Laura Jung to decide who goes to London. Any chance they will do it again and so Laura has a chance to participate in Olympics? Or will Jana go 100% to Rio?
What happened to Dora Vass? Many here expected her to qualify. Only 22nd place. Quite shocking _________________ Magdalena Brzeska Alina Maximenko Ganna Rizatdinova Melitina Staniouta Jana Berezko-Marggrander Laura Jung Evgenia Kanaeva |

Oh, that is very sad. Sorry for you, Gergely
Maybe Laura Jung will also retire if she doesn`t make it to Rio
I remember she was VERY disappointed and sad that she missed London Olympics.
Laura needed some months to recover from this huge disappointment and almost retired ...
The coaches had to motivate Laura to not give up and try to qualify for Rio Olympics. _________________ Magdalena Brzeska Alina Maximenko Ganna Rizatdinova Melitina Staniouta Jana Berezko-Marggrander Laura Jung Evgenia Kanaeva |

Unfortunately the test event spots are nominative, so it is certain Laura Jung wont go. If Jana withdraws, the next one on the test event list will qualify (I think it is the mexican girl ?).
And last time for London, the test in Germany between Laura and Jana was about which one of them should go to the test event (and would be able to get the spot for the OG, which was already nominative). It was a fierce battle, because Laura was the one who had earned the spot for the test event at Montpellier worlds (Jana was injured and could not go). But in the end Jana was better so they decided to send her to the test event, and she got the spot.
Edit : I just looked at her facebook fanpage, and she says that she is very happy about her competition in Rio, because she did everything cleanly and enjoyed it. Also she says that she ended ahead of several gymnasts who were better than her at the end of the last season, which was not expected and makes her happy. She says she is not disappointed at all.
I think she knew before coming that she was more than unlikely to qualify, because it meant both being in top 8/10 and being better than Jana... |

She must be getting media-savvy then. This is a way of getting journalists off her back and pre-empting the journalist's natural headline "Jung disappointed for a second time in Olympic qualification".
The thing definitely NOT to do is say "I feel like I let everybody down" as one gymnast did not so long ago, which gives the media a stick to beat you with. Of course you don't have to go so far as I tend to with "I did try, but in the end you'll get what you are given", which is why yours truly has been always considered about as trainable as the average house cat. |

This press release from the South African Gymnastics Federation says that indeed Grac'es invitation was substitued by Cape Verde's tripartite comission one.
So now it makes sense that Cummins continental wildcard for AG was valid while Grace's was not. It wasn't the RSA Olympic Comitee decliing invitations.
FIG replaced her spot with the Tripartite Comission One.

Quote: | Having finishing top Africa qualifier at the 2015 World Championships, it was expected that Grace would attain the continental spot for participation at the Rio Olympic Games. However, due to an application by Cape Verde for a Tripartite Wild Card, which was subsequently approved by the Tripartite Commission under the supervision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), this has resulted in the replacement of Grace as the Continental representative by the Cape Verde gymnast. |

They can't, they are not eligible. Those eligible are countries with minimal Olympic representation, (8 atheletes, I think). _________________ ♥Staniouta, Halkina, Kudryavtseva, Pazhava ♥

It still makes me sad that in regular Gymnastics, there's an AA medal + finals in each event, but in RG it's STILL only AA and group, no finals _________________ ♥ Bessonova, Kondakova, Dmitrieva, Rizatdinova ♥ |

This makes me so sad for Grace because this whole time they made it seem as if there would be two continental wild cards and then the Tripartite wild card. She's been doing so well this year too. Nevertheless, good luck to Elyane in Rio. _________________ My YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MarchingBalletDancer

What's more interesting, South Africa has declined one of their two artistic gymnastics spots (the African continental quota one)
I've heard that they are withdrawing teams as well, maybe in order to cut down costs? _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |
