Post Olympics: The New Journey Begins

It seems to me that there are more countries are in a transition mode than in recent memory.

Russia: the veterans that have been carrying the load are burned out. Will the younger generation be able to step up to the plate?

US: post Marta. She and USAG appear to have done a good job paving the way for her successor. A strong system is in place for the next person.

Romania: where do I even begin? It would be better to gut the system they have and rebuild from the ground up. Just like the US did in going to the Level system and adding TOPS. While B&B were great coaches, the program was too dependent on them. It appears that not enough effort was put into developing younger talent.

China: Rio is viewed as a failure but one which they will learn from. A poster on WWGym said they filed a letter of inquiry about scoring and received feedback and will make changes accordingly. They were crushed by the early draw. On the bright side, they are regaining their consistency. I hope this continues.

Will the Dutch be able to continue their rise?

Will the Japanese women rise to the occasion for Tokyo?
