Rebeca Andrade officially rounds out the Holy Trinity of Mustafina, Biles & Andrade - the trio of gymnasts under the open code that have a Worlds medal on every event!
Melanie De Jesus Dos Santos (FRA) scores a 14.850 on the uneven bars at the 2023 U.S. Classic, where she competed as a guest. She unofficially places 2nd in the all-around and wins the event on bars.
So Russia's alternate Paralympic games had not just Belarus but also Armenia, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan. I guess these are the countries that could be expected at any alternate Russian international competitions. For gymnastics I could also see Chuso attending Russian Nationals. Then for gymnastics I think France and Italy didn't ban Russian gymnasts from non FIG competitions (did Artur Dalaloyan ever actually compete at Italy series A idk?) and also Nemov said China wants to do non FIG competitions with Russia. Also like who's medal was Kuliak wearing from Rio at that rally and since Kuliak somehow got to wear someone else's Rio gold medal (since he wore the Z at an actual international competition he is for sure getting that 1 year ban but who knows what the other sporting bodies will do for the others that attended rally), is it awkward for Arina to be the only athlete there that didn't have a medal on or. Also ngl it has been weird since like just cause Russia thought Dina was robbed of gold, Arina has been included in everything too even without a medal & she got reward for bronze medal & they act like Arina was also robbed of bronze when they probably wouldn't really care if she got bronze or not if Dina won gold. Also the logic is that Harnasko ribbon drop was worse than Arina ribbon replacement but with bronze they acknowledge Linoy with drop was better than Arina?
