Turkish Gymnast

I am DVR-ing the first group of WAG from earlier today and got to the Turkish Woman. very clean routine aside from dismount. but Amazing to see such a difference in difficulty level. Level 9 ish? Am I right? Regardless, She's the first woman from her country to ever compete in gymnastics. A feat in itself.

There was a girl a few years back who had a weak L6 routine, not even a flyaway. Rules have now changed and I think the Turkish girl is about the lowest skill level you will see.

Nice to see some other countries on the mix though.

I am wondering how a level 6 gets into the Olympics? Or a level 9? How does that work?

no competition in their country, I guess. She obviously will only be in the qualifying rounds. I only saw her beam. As a country, I guess you have to start somewhere and this girl's dream has just been realized... on the same equipment as the worlds best...
