The Competition:
- Who's here and how they qualified
- Competition format six gymnasts per team, one alternate. Five gymnasts compete in on each event prelims with only four scores counting (5 up 4 count). In finals, only three gymnasts can compete and all three scores count towards the team score (3 up 3 count).
- Lauren plays How To Get Your Favorite Gymnast To Rio with Uncle Tim
- Non-nominative vs. Nominative

Injury report and which teams are on the “Oh Crap We Are Going To Have to Go To The Test Event” List

Gymnasts you must watch in prelims because although they might not make finals, they will make you believe in the Gym Gods: Thorsdottir, Berki, Wever, Zapata, Millousi and more.

Jaw dropping skills you must watch lest you kick yourself forever: Bretschneider on high bar, Ablyzin on floor, Toni-Ann Williams Produnova off beam, Chustovitina's Produnova on vault, Ruby Harold's Zuchold, Schafer's side somi half.

Medal Favorites and our predictions: Brenna Dowell will win all the things!
