So 7 of the gymnasts to represent Germany at the Olympics have been named - I knew it yesterday after translating an article on the official German site, however I looked everywhere and I couldn't see any mention of it, that is until today. For the women Oksana Chusovitina, Marie-Sophie Hindermann and Katja Abel will compete and for the men Fabian Hambuchen, Philipp Boy, Marcel Nguyen and Eugen Spiridonov have booked their tickets. The remaining spots will be announced on Tuesday. Personally, I am quite happy with these 7 and I don't think there was ever any doubt that Hambuchen and Chusovitina were going to be representing their country.
