MAG Olympic Qualifiers

Now that the Olympic Qualification part of the London Test Event is over, we can start to work out who has qualified for the Olympics (based on the results here. The FIG has put up the process here. Based on my interpretation of the process, the olympic qualifiers will look something like this:

12 teams: JPN, USA, CHN, GER, KOR, ROM, UKR, GBR, FRA, ESP, ITA
Apparatus medalists from worlds (not part of a team): Hypolito (BRA), Shatilov (ISR), Berki (HUN), Zanetti (BRA), Tsolakidis (GRE)
Continental Representation: Africa is the only continent not to qualify, so there will be 2 spots allocated to countries from Africa based on Worlds results.
1 Wildcard: Yet to be determined.
4 spots to the teams placed 5-8 (1 each): CAN, BRA, PUR, BLR
The remaining spots (98 total) to be filled by all-around results based on the London Test Event. So, I think there are 26 spots remaining. So these spots will probably be something like the following:
1. CORRAL BARRON (MEX)
2. GONZALEZ SEPULVEDA (CHI)
3. SHEK (HKG)
4. UDE (CRO)
5. MARAS (GRE)
6. PIASECKY (SVK)
7. LEIMLEHNER (AUT)
8. GIRALDO LOPEZ (COL)
9. KULESZA (POL)
10. CAPELLI (SUI)
11. ZONDERLAND (NED)
12. JEFFERIS (AUS)
13. DAVTYAN (ARM)
14. ALMEIDA CAMPOS (POR)
15. GORBACHEV (KAZ)
16. GUSCINAS (LTU)
17. PHUOC HUANG (VIE)
18. TREFILOVS (LAT)
19. ARONOVICH (ISR)
20. HIDVEGI (HUN)
21. JOVTCHEV (BUL)
22. MOLINARI (ARG)
23. VERBAEYS (BEL)
24. KONECNY (CZE)
25. BEHAN (IRL)
26. SHIKHALIYEV (AZE)
Reserve: PALGEN (LUX)

In addition, the following countries had their 2nd gymnast above the 1st reserve, so they possibly will be able to choose which gymnast to send (out of the 2 who competed today in London): COL, AUS, NED, POR, SUI


Note that this is my interpretation, so it is possible that I have made some mistakes.
