Lisa Vaillin, Melisi Brassert, Nina Derwill and Guetta Vercast now have to wait until the shifts finish on Sunday to see if that score total is enough to secure a place in the top eight, giving the right to start the final.

In the all-around singles competition, Lisa Vaillin ranks best with a score of 52,432 points. She can hope for a place in the final. After an absence of over a year due to injury, Nina Druel celebrated her comeback with 14,700 points on the uneven bars. Saturday night’s best performance, for example, went to the reigning Olympic champion, two-time world and European champion. Druel did not exceed 12.566 points on the crossbar after the fall. Lisa Vaillin scored 13,200 points on the practice floor. In the jump it was good for 13,499 points.

For the eight countries with the best team result, during the World Cup qualifiers, a ticket is waiting for access to the World Championship before the Olympics in Antwerp. If our country does not manage to force this first choice, it is still possible to try to secure a place for the World Cup in Antwerp via the European Championship. But in Liverpool, first-team tickets for the 2024 Games in the French capital will also be awarded. The countries that secured a place on the podium during the team final are already sure of their place in the Olympics.
