Thomas Pichler - It's Crunch Time

Details

Category: Thomas Pichler

It is crunch time... With 80 days until the opening of the Olympic Games, the real countdown is to the final selection competition. The upcoming Australian Championships will be my last chance to show the selectors if I have what it takes to represent Australia at the games. As it stands, I am still in a one-on-one battle with training partner and good friend Joshua Jefferis, with only one of us going to the Olympics in July. I will be competing on all six apparatus on the 24^th and 26^th of May with the selection announcement being made in early June.

The championships will be held in Sydney's Olympic Park and combine five gymnastics sports. The 12 day event will double as the Olympic Selection trials for not only Men's Gymnastics but also Women's Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics and Trampoline Sports. Across all gymnastics sports, Australia has qualified 8 places...

• Artistic: Men's Individual - 1 Quota Place
• Artistic: Women's Team - 5 Quota Places
• Rhythmic: Women's Individual - 1 Quota Place
• Trampoline: Men's Individual - 1 Quota Place

For those in the Sydney area, be sure to come along and cheer on your favourite gymnasts.
