Wish List for Test Event 2

3. Yao Jinnan and Sui Lu can have a repeat of Worlds- Yao and Sui had such such an amazing World Championships and I want that to repeat here as well. They are both such clean yet powerful gymnasts with great origionality, and I love to see that.

4. Under dogs can qualify to the Olympics- Like Belarus, Bulgaria has such a great history in gymnastics and I don't want to see a country like Bulgaria not have a gymnast, like Ralitsa Mileva, have a chance to go to the Olympics. Kazahkstan was part of the Soviet Union, but did not have as many great gymnasts the main power countries. Yet they had some great gymnasts, like Moldir Azimbay is today.

Wish List for Test Event

1. The Anastasii are back to full strength- So as we all know, Sidorova and Grishina have been hampered by injuries and have not been up to their standard. Anastasia Sidorova looks like she is getting back into shape, showing a great DTY at Voronin, as well as a great new floor routine and beam. But her bars look even worse than before I'm afraid. Grishina went to the Massilia Cup, but looked completely out of shape and had quite a bad competition. Hopefully we can see both of them have a great competition and win some medals.

2. Valeria Maksyuta and Anastasia Marachouskaya Qualify to the Olympics- Maksyuta has to be one of my favorite gymnasts of this quadrennium. She has grown as a gymnast, has got some great new skills, and has learn consistency (at least a little, lol). And Belarus was such a dominant force back in the Soviet days. It will be such a shame to not see one of their athletes qualify to the Olympic games. Plus Anastasia is a great gymnast. They both had a great competition at Voronin and if they perform like that at the test event, they should both qualify, hopefully!
