One Spot Decisions...

So the teams that tried, but came up just short at the Test Event, only get to send one gymnast. Any predictions on whom might that be?

Women:
Australia: it will be interesting to see if Lauren Mitchell is back enough to be awarded the spot over someone like a Larrissa Miller or Emily Little.

Switzerland: 100% assume Steingruber gets this spot

Romania: between Iordache and Ponor

Korea: No clue whom they have

Who from the men??

Osijek World Challenge Cup - Osijek, Croatia

I'm actually a bit confused about the dates. The FIG calendar says April 28-May 1, but the document says May 5-8. Was it rescheduled?

Anyway, the roster is pretty impressive for a World Cup on both sides.

Help ID'ing Gymnasts

I was watching some of the Nanning training videos and at the end of this dance through there are two girls who walk past in white t-shirts who I feel like I should recognize and I don't. Does anyone know who they are?

Compulsory FX Question

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but NBC has said ad nauseum about how in a compulsory floor routine, every arm and leg movement has to be done to text and I'm just trying to understand how far that goes. Are actual steps counted?

The reason I'm wondering is there are some sequences in a few of the compulsory routines that I'm wondering how they would be judged. First of all, in both the 1996 and 1988 routines, there's a leap series where the gymnast does a jump, runs a couple of steps, then jumps again, and the does another couple of steps and then the final jump. (1988 might have had four jumps - I'd have to look back). Would those have a mandate on how many steps you were allowed between jumps or would it be more like the run into a tumbling pass and be according to the individual athlete?

Also, just before the first pass in the 1988 routine, there's a pretty movement where a gymnast runs in an arc to the corner. There's a similar sequence before one pass in the 1984 routine too. Are those steps also specifically counted?

Thanks in advance. Sorry I can't post the videos, but my computer won't let me at the moment.
