  1. Thank you so much for this list. I’m planning to do a gifset project for D scores as I did in 2013 and YOG 2014 and this is really helpful to know who’s already confirmed. Also, do you know when the nominative lists come out saying who’s doing what events? Some are obvious but others might be a bit trickier…

    • No problem! I’m not sure…I think most are doing the all-around aside from Larrissa Miller, who will only do bars/floor, and Chuso, who is definitely doing vault (obvs I guess) though I’m not sure what else she’s planning on doing. I just heard she won’t do AA.

  8. This is fabulous! Any idea where one could find this kind of resource for the men as well? I’m building a giant spreadsheet to track scores during the Olympics, and I was hoping to have the men too!
