![]() ![]() These are my top three teams for podium contention here, and I think the top all-arounders in tomorrow’s competition will also come from this group. The British team didn’t look quite as strong as expected in podium training, and they’ll be facing a couple of teams that came within a few tenths of the bronze in Tokyo, including Italy (featuring Olympians Alice D’Amato, Asia D’Amato, and Martina Maggio along with Giorgia Villa and Angela Andreoli) and France (featuring Olympians Marine Boyer, Aline Friess, and Carolann Heduit along with Lorette Charpy and Morgane Osyssek). Alice Kinsella, a member of both teams, leads the group here, which also includes Jennifer Gadirova, Jessica Gadirova, Ondine Achampong, and Georgia-Mae Fenton. ![]() Great Britain is here with nearly its entire 2020 Olympic bronze medal winning squad, minus Amelie Morgan, plus a few 2022 Commonwealth Games champions. Let’s start with the most obvious, aka the teams that will be going for both worlds berths and the Euros podium. The largest contingent of athletes will come from Euros, with a total of 13 teams and 23 all-arounders (two per country not qualified as a team) earning spots in tomorrow’s qualification round, which also serves as the all-around final as well as the qualifier for the team and apparatus finals held later this week.Īdditionally, there is one individual spot available to the host country regardless of whether they qualify to worlds or not, but since Great Britain is the host this year and will pretty much certainly earn a team spot, it means that spot will be returned to the all-around pool at the continental meet where the host country competes, so a total of 24 individual athletes will make it in here.Ī total of 27 nations sent full teams to vie for those 13 team spots, and though there are a number of teams in the mix that should make it in pretty easily, there are also a few smaller programs that will be on the bubble, with some looking to make pretty big jumps compared to previous team qualification standings at this meet. ![]() As with all of the other continental championships competitions we’ve seen in 2022, this year’s European Championships will not only determine the best gymnasts of each region, but will also decide the teams and athletes that will be off to world championships in October. ![]()
