German World Teams Announced

See a theme here? There's going to be a run of these posts as the countdown to Tokyo continues. Germany held it's National Championships this weekend and from there named it's men's and women's world teams.

Women's World Team (14th in Rotterdam)
Elizabeth Seitz
Kim Bui
Oksana Chusovitina
Nadine Jarosch
Pia Tolle
with Marie-Sophie Hindermann, Lisa-Katherina Hill or Anja Rheinbay in the final spot.

Men's World Team (3rd in Rotterdam)
Philip Boy
Fabian Hambuchen
Marcel Nguyen
Eugen Spiridinov
Sebastian Krimmer
with Helge Liebrich, Thomas Taranu or Andreas Toba in the final spot.

The Men should definitely be looking at Olympic qualification and a few medals on the side. For the women a top 8 team finish in Rotterdam may be too much to ask, but top 16 with a view to making it to the second qualification event in London is very reasonable. Individual performances from European medallists Seitz, Bui and Chusovitina should also be a treat for us the audience.

Countdown to Tokyo - 39 Days.
