I personal think that the Olympics is about a 4 year cycle of performance and dedication to a sport, but Olympics Gymnastics means more then that, is about the work of a life time. So for the people of FIG, please take in your consideration the tremendous work and the true spirit of the great athlete LARISA ANDREEA IORDACHE. Her performances and her behavior as a sportswomen, makes her a pillar and an outstanding example of her generation. I truly think that the current selection must be overruled for the people that made and are making the best of this great sport called GYMANASTICS.
Thank you and I am hoping to see the worlds best gymnasts in Rio!

This catastrophic oversight was almost a big issue on the men's side as well with Manrique Larduet winning an AA medal at least year's world championships. Luckily he won an individual event medal in the following days. It is absurd that an AA medal winner at the preceding world championships prior to the Olympics doesn't automatically earn an Olympic berth if their country's team hasn't already qualified.

It can't be real Olympic games without Larisa. She's clearly one of the best and she MUST be there. We didn't even gave her a chance to qualify (due to her injury) and she'll probably won't do the next Olympic (gymnastics is a sport for young people :'( ) . Anyway, she proved us she was the best at the AA in Glasgow, so she deserved a spot for the Olympics game

We ask FIG to recognozie Larisa Iordache's qualification at Rio 2016 as fast as possible.

An AA medallist should be recognised for their achievement at least equally with an event medallist, if not more so.
