I've been seeing a lot of sad Sallys on the board recently and other than what is happening with the Russians at the moment, I'm really excited for Rio. Much more than I was for London. The competition is so much more open this time.
While the US continues to dominate, the team competition in the women's is really open. There are five teams that could realistically take the bronze in my opinion - Russia if they are there, Great Britain, Japan, Italy, and Germany.
The all-around is also really open other than Simone Biles. Shang Chunsong, Giulia Steingruber, Ellie Black, Ellie Downie, Mai Murakami, Asuka Teramoto, the second American, the Russians, Flavia Saravia, Rebeca Andrade, and I'm sure a few others could all sneak out a medal depending on who's hitting.
There are six different women that could take a vault medal, a TON of contenders not only to make bar finals but to win. Beam has a few contenders other than Simone Biles that could take it from her like Shang Chunsong, Fan Yilin, or Sanne Wevers. And the gymnasts have really been pushing the boundaries on floor and we will see the most difficult arrangement of tumbling in that final in gymnastics history.
