With the 2016 European Championships now less than a month away, the FIG has released the nominative registration and we’re going to be getting confirmed team news left and right. In an effort to keep everyone up-to-date, we’ll be maintaining this list of all nominative, provisional, and official teams. If you have any news or additions, please let us know in the comments! We will also track all changes here, i.e. if an athlete is injured or no longer able to compete.

Can’t wait to see what little romanians are going to do here☺️

They have a shot at the podium for sure! They were great at Gymnix and at a friendly in Belgium.

What do you think about the individuals in romania’s team? I mean, they got a shot at the podium on certain events? A new ‘nadia-larisa’ raising?

I think they’re great…no big shots yet, but for juniors they’re all at a very solid level. However, they’re at a level similar to last quad’s 2012 juniors who turned senior in 2013-2014, aka they have promise, but if it’s mismanaged, they could get stuck where they are…at a good level for juniors but way behind senior potential. Hopefully the federation makes sure they keep progressing!

They could start by not bring back Belu ever again. I think they were great under the old scoring system but seem not to understand or care how to make the most of the new system. For example, the USA and some up and coming European teams and found a way to make the new scoring system work for their strengths. Romaina just flounders, except for Larissa. Maybe her personal coach should be the new head coach.

wow Russia sent all the gymnasts I was hoping to see out of the juniors. I’ve never had all my favorites from any country get to compete at the same competition. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Elena Eremina manage to claw her way towards the all around title, and I think she has a great chance of being a world medalist next year and/or in the coming years toward Tokyo barring injury of course. The bars title is really Ilyankovas to lose. Zubova is consistent and solid, so she’ll probably take home something on beam, it’ll depend on how the Romanians do. Simakova and Perebinsova will both be able to bring in steady scores, and can potentially win medals in finals assuming they push past their teammates and get in.
