To be on the AA podium so many times in the last 4 years at World Championships despite injury, she deserves a place at the Olympics. Her positive attitude combined with excellent results makes her a great role model for the sport.

Someone who has consecutively been on the AA podium next to Simone biles for the past three years deserves to go to the Olympics regardless of team qualifying

She deserves it like other girls who have been consistently at the top these past few years. A good role model due to her positive attitude.

An AA medalist absolutely deserves an Olympic berth! Period
Once again the FIG screwed something up that could forever change the face of our sport for the worse!

Gymnasts who have medalled at the previous world championships should have automatic Olympic qualification for both all-around AND apparatus

Totally agree with this petition!!! It's ridiculous that the best AA gymnasts don't get a direct spot in the Olympic Games!! They are the ones that really dominate the sport. Not only one part of it. Wish FIG realize and change this ASAP!!!!

It's not a competition between the best if the best aren't there!

This rule is such an oversight and needs to be fixed. If you get an Olympic berth for a Worlds medal of any color for competing a single event the same should be true of the all-around!

Larissa not only has potential at medalling in the all around but at least 3 event finals also. The idea of the olympics is to showcase the worlds best in a sport and for healthy real competition. Not allowing Larissa automatic entry undermines all these ideas encompassed in the Olympic movement. This does a huge disservice not only to individual competitors, spectators, young children interested in the sport but most importantly undermines what competition is really about and creates an uneven and unfair playing field.
