So Individual Qualifying for gymnastics:
Men
All-Around Mikulak 7th, .758 behind 3rd
Brooks 19th
Floor Mikulak 1st
Dalton 2nd
Pommel Naddour 7th, .284 behind 3rd
Parallel Bars Leyva 7th, .200 behind 3rd
Horizontal Bar Leyva 4th, .033 behind 3rd
Mikulak 6th, .233 behind 3rd
N/A: Vault, Rings
So 3 Mikulak, 2 Leyva. Floor looks pretty good, horizontal possible.
Women
All-Around Biles 1st
Raisman 2nd
Vault Biles 1st
Uneven Bars Kocian 1st
Douglas 3rd
Beam Biles 1st
Hernandez 2nd
Floor Biles 1st
Raisman 2nd
So women seem to be on track to get 9 of a possible maximum 10 individual medals.
Including every gold, with 4 from Biles.
Biles 4, Raisman 2.
2012:
Women's team gold.
Douglas all-around gold, Raisman floor gold & beam bronze, Maroney vault silver. = 4
Russia actually took 5 individual medals including one gold. China got 3, Romania 2.
2008: Women's team silver.
Liukin all-around gold + uneven silver + beam silver + floor bronze.
Johnson all-around silver + beam gold + floor silver. = 7
2004: Women's team silver.
Patterson all-around gold + beam silver
Humphrey uneven silver. Kupets uneven bronze. Hatch vault silver. = 5
2000: Women's team bronze and only cuz of a disqualification.
No individual medals. Boo.
1996: Women's team gold.
Miller beam gold. Dawes floor bronze. Chow uneven silver. = 3
1992: Women's team bronze.
Miller all-around silver + beam silver + tied floor bronze + uneven bronze. = 4. I guess she had to carry the team by herself.
1988: Mills tied beam bronze.
1984: Women's team silver.
Retton all-around gold + floor bronze + uneven bronze + vault silver.
Johnson beam bronze. McNamara floor silver + uneven gold. = 7, in Los Angeles.
Before 1984, only one medal: 1948 Women's team bronze.
Ranked by # of medals:
2008, 1984 VIII
2004 VI
2012, 1992 V
1996 IV
2000, 1948, 1988 I
Ranked by # of golds:
2012 III
2008, 1996, 1984 II
2004 I
So to beat personal records, we'd need 9 women's medals and we have the chance for 10.
We'd need 4 women's golds and we have the chance for 6.
Wikipedia tells me the most golds are:
Czech Čáslavská 1964 all-around, vault, beam
1968 all-around, floor (TIE), uneven, vault
SU’s Latynina - 1956 all-around, floor (TIE), vault
1960 all-around, floor
1964 floor
Romania’s Comăneci 1976 all-around, beam, uneven
1980 beam, floor (TIE)
Hungary’s Keleti 1952 floor
1956 beam, floor (TIE), uneven
SU’s Kim 1976 floor, vault
1980 floor (TIE)
Romania’s Szabo 1984 beam (TIE), floor, vault
Romania’s Silivaș 1988 beam, floor, bars
So only one woman ever won 4 individual golds at one Olympics, and one of those was a tie.
The most dominant a team has ever been is the 1960 Olympics when Russia took everything but the balance beam (taking silver and bronze there).
