To allow the AA medalist to go to the Olympics you would be ensuring your original goal - that successful individuals be permitted a spot regardless of their country's placing. This will improve the integrity and the competitive nature of these Games.

Da, e ridicol faptul ca medaliatii pe aparate se clasifica ,iar cei de la individual nu.

It's rather astonishing from the part of FIG not to let Larisa Iordache compete. Apart from the fact that Romania was the reigning champion of this sport, the gymnast in question is proven to be one of the best all around the world. It's high time the "dinosaurs" of the sport that hold it back and refuse letting it develop got in retirement or changed their austere and absurd laws. How can you expect young hopefuls to evolve in the sport when you behave like that to the most experienced and qualified gymnasts of our era?

I totally agree with this! Iordache is currently one of the best AA gymnasts in the world. If she (or anyone else of that level for that matter) can't go to the Olympics after getting a medal at the World Championships because of a weak team rssult then the rules need to be changed!

Weird that if you are the best in all events you don't deserve a spot and if youre the best in one event you deserve a spot....

FIG, this is just ridiculous! She has proven to be a legitimate Olympic all around medal threat. If anyone deserves and automatic qualification slot it is a work all around medalist.
