+ Qualification comment --:
It came as expected: defending champion USA left no doubt about the recent successful title defense - it would be the fifth in an unbroken succession: clear 5 points ahead of CHINA, the bronze medalist of the previous year and six points ahead of the vice-world champion RUSSIA. This medal trio of Doha (2018) will also dominate the team finale in the coming week and no doubt about the US success harbors here in Stuttgart.
The other qualifiers for the Team final are, in order: France, Canada, Netherlands, Great Britain and Italy.

* FIG VIDEO - Highlights Day 2 ...:



* Team Germany missed the team final surprisingly scarce in 9th place: only -0.032 points were missing! The anticipated resistance to the paper, especially by the Belgians, by Japan and Brazil this time fell out.
Simone Biles had highs on the balance beam and ground and with 59.432 points the highest all-round rating. Nobody doubts Stuttgart's sovereign title defense by this exceptional athlete!

* FIG Press Release (Oct. 05)
Women's Artistic Gymnastics: Toyko 2020 Olympic Games women's team and individual qualifiers from the 2019 World Championships confirmed

Following the second and last day of women's qualifications at the 49th FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Stuttgart (GER), the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has officially updated the list of qualified teams and confirms the individual gymnasts who have earned a nominative place from the 2019 World Championships for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The list has been published on the 2020 Olympic Games event calendar page on the FIG website.
On 12 and 13 October, the three highest placed eligible gymnasts in each apparatus final in Stuttgart will also book their Olympic tickets.

The specialists have another opportunity to qualify with the current Apparatus World Cup series that ends in March 2020. The four women's and six men's winners on each apparatus – a ranking decided by taking the best three results of each participant in the series – will be Tokyo-bound (on the condition that these gymnasts have not actively participated in the qualification of their respective teams).

There will be the possibility of gaining extra individual places for the competing countries via the 2020 All-around World Cup series – these will be available to the top three countries in this four-stage series running in March and April of that year.

 

The final qualifying opportunity will come at the continental championships in spring 2020 when there will be two individual places at stake for each of Africa, America, Europe and Asia and one place for Oceania.

♦ FIG Video SUMMARY - Qualification Day 1 ...:


♦ Comments after Day 1:

* Actually, the expected intermediate team result:
It seemed clear before that CHINA - bronze medallist 2018 - was the best team until the 6th subdivision. Clear lead with a good 2.5 points ahead of France, which had a strong bottom pass, followed by Canada and Germany, which left the up-and-coming Belgians just behind:
* Intermediate TEAM Results after Day 1:
1. CHN - 169,161;  2. FRA - 166,713;  3. CAN - 162,922;  4. GER - 161,897;  5. BEL - 161,238
     > Detailed Team Results;

* All-around --: France's De Jesus Dos Dantos leads the individual all-around (56,782), followed by Chinese LIU, Tingting (55,865) and LI, Shiaja (55,732). Since the 54,999 of Elisabeth SEITZ and Sarah VOSS (54,132) from host Germany behind rank 5 and 6 are also not so bad ...!
   > Detailed All-around Results

* Apparatus--: At the intermediate levels of the individual apparatus one should settle the results of the 2nd qualifying day. The final hopes of Eli Seitz at the uneven bars as currently second (14,800) behind world champion Nina Derwael (15,141) from Belgium are certainly not unfounded ...
