To be fair, it hasn't in a really, really, really long time. If ever? It was bound to happen eventually, what with developing nations on the rise in MAG and WAG teams experiencing a strength shift, but I don't think anyone thought it would happen just yet.I believe AA medalists don't automatically qualify because no one in the FIG anticipated an AA medalist would ever come from a non-qualifying team. Seriously.
I feel awful for Iordache; she must be devastated because she wanted to contribute to the team at the test event and now it's out of her hands. It's not an impossible task for the girls but it's going to be really nail-biting. Test Event TF might be the most nerve-wracking competition of the entire season (and yes, that includes the Olympics).
