No way Gabby deserved that spot.
She'll probably only do bars. I'm not a fan of a "selection committee" picking the team, but they stayed pretty true to the scores given the limits on total athletes (5) and athletes per event (3).
Vault - Biles (1), Raisman (3), Hernandez (4)
Bars - Kocian (1), Douglas (3), Biles (4)
Beam - Hernandez (1), Raisman (3), Biles (4)
Floor - Biles (1), Raisman (2), Hernandez (3)
Alternates:
Skinner (#2 vault), Locklear (#2 bars), Smith (#2 beam)
She fell of the beam both nights of trials but is going because the US coaches feel she helps us on uneven bars. IMO Ashton Lochlear deserved a starting spot (not as a injury alternate).
No more team Ejim to cheer for.
The Brazil Ministry of Justice terminated the contracted of the security firm hired for the Rio games. The firm Artel was supposed to hire 3,400 security personnel. They admitted hiring only 500.

I'd say now that Brazilian police are in charge of security, diseases are the least of things to worry about in terms of making back alive to your home country.

I expect numerous sightings of Mr. Hankey the Olympic Pooooh in most of the aquatic events.
