EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

• Four more Olympic spots have been clinched, including by Larisa Iordache (ROM)! We discuss her valiant triumph over kidney infection, her intent on giving us all heart attacks, her fast-forward award acceptance speech, and...maybe a little about the scoring.
• Nikita Nagornyy's (RUS)triple pike. That's all.
• Qualification was super easy to follow, the stream worked, the scoring worked, and we have no notes.
• The German unitard revolution!
