[Gnarly_Karli]

Thank you!!! I love them - the team looks really nervous though!

I wish the blue arm were a little more unique. Looks too similar to the quals leo!

Gabby is literally used in one event for finals and Laurie on three and yet Gabby's the one who got to go for AA (I'm v salty if you can't tell)

I WAS SO CLOSE TO WATCHING THE LIVE STREAM BUT THE KID I'M NANNYING DIDN'T WANT TO BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING EXCITING AT THAT EXACT MOMENT SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE

I really don't like how the Chinese girls put their arms up after they land. Yuck.

As with all sports, I prefer to see the best compete against the best. With the AA I would like to see the top scorers. Not dying to see "most" of the qualifiers to me speaks volumes

I'd rather countries train harder. To be perfectly honest the country that looks better than they did in 2012 is USA. The only country that looks better than they did in 2008 is USA. (I will say Brazil looks better but I'm sure being the host nation helped) Making it easier for other countries to qualify to AA isn't changing the fact that other countries aren't improving as rapidly . What will happen after 2020 if qualifying teams of 4 doesn't work for other countries.

Yes America is one of the reasons the 2 per country exists. Then we started training differently

This article perfectly sums up why the rule is dumb.

You must not have watched the female gymnasts from Germany (and I'm sure there are also other countries that improved) over the past years...

Someone is noticing, cos the Canadian commentators keep raving about the German team

Flavia Saraiva is to Brazil what Ragan Smith is to the USA. She is so fun to watch.

The Germans, Dutch, Brazil, and GB have improved loads since 2012. Everyone else has plateaued.

 

[njallday]

I'm betting they announce their team name after they win... and my guess is like 'Golden Girls' or something similar involving gold.

It's Almost boring to watch, the US is just so good!! Proud of our germany girls though they are doing a great job

Especially Romania. So weird not seeing them in the team finals.
