Dutch gymnasts are currently ranked second in the country rankings at the World Championships in Antwerp. Sunny Wevers, Ithaura Thorsdottir, Naomi Visser, Sanna Vierman and Vera van Poel scored 161,197 points in the first section out of a total of ten called sub-sections. This meant that they had to put Italy (162.230) ahead of them. The gymnasts now have to wait and see where their results ultimately take them. The goal is to secure a place among the top twelve national teams in order to secure the team’s ticket to Paris 2024.
National coach Jeroen Jacobs’ women will not know the value of their performance until Monday evening at around 10:35pm. Then it was the turn of the participants from the ten departments in all. Two more subdivisions will follow on Sunday night, including world champion USA. Simone Biles also returns to the international stage in this team. On Monday there are eight more subsections.
Dutch gymnasts earned their ticket to the Olympic team earlier today. National coach Dirk van Mildert’s team finished eleventh in the qualifiers. The top twelve countries will win an Olympic ticket.
