Nesta segunda-feira, 20, as meninas brasileiras fizeram o último dia de competições no Toronto Coliseum e, novamente, Angélica Kvieczynski saiu com o terceiro lugar no pódio. Essa foi a 100ª medalha no Brasil nessa edição do Pan. Desta vez, foi na decisão da fita. Favorito, o conjunto do Brasil, que tinha ficado duas vezes no topo do pódio (geral e fitas), cometeu uma falha no finzinho da performance mista entre arcos e maças, e o terceiro ouro não chegou. Mas elas encantaram da mesma forma e levaram a prata. Os EUA venceram nessa prova. Após a decisão individual da fita, Angélica, a melhor da ginástica do país na atualidade se despede do Canadá com dois pódios.

  • 5-12-16 Olympic Qualification Procedure Field Size and Us
    Olympic qualification procedure and field size The USA qualified to the 2016 Olympic Games in men’s, women’s and rhythmic gymnastics based on performances at the 2015 World Championships. For rhythmic gymnastics, the USA qualified in both individual and group. For individual, a country needed to finish in the top 15 in the all-around, and Laura Zeng was eighth. For group, the USA earned a continental spot as the highest finisher from North, Central or South America. The United States qualified for one men’s and women’s spot at the Olympic Test Event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in April. Rhythmic: Rhythmic gymnastics is split into individual and group qualification, and the USA has qualified for both. For individuals, 24 athletes worldwide will advance to the 2016 Games. These spots are determined at the 2015 World Championships, where the top-15 athletes, max two per country, based on all-around results qualified; and the top six in all-around finals at the 2016 Olympic Test Event qualify by name, plus three spots selected by the Tripartite Commission, continental representation and host country. A total of 14 groups can qualify to the 2016 Games. Ten groups already qualified through the 2015 World Championships, with the top eight from the qualification round and two reserved for continental representation. At the Olympic Test Event, the top-three groups in the qualifying round will advance, with the last spot for the host country or the next best-ranked country. All athletes must meet the FIG technical standards, including the minimum age of 16 (born in 2000).
