  The same gymnast were on the podium as last Saturday (red. the first qualification), but Lisa Top and Céline van Gerner traded their places on the podium.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Lieke Wevers was again the best gymnast with a total of 55.533, Céline van Gerner came in second with 53,967 and Lisa Top earned the bronze with 53,667 .
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Since the procedure states that the best AA gymnast out of the two qualifications is secured of a spot on the Dutch EG team, Lieke Wevers can pop the champagne <span data-term="goog_1267478906">tonight</span>.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  The other gymnast have to wait until <span data-term="goog_1267478907">tomorrow</span>. The federation will choose the other two gymnast to complete the Dutch EG team. Most likely they will choose Lisa Top and Céline van Gerner.

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Some short notes about the competition (created from the live ticker of <a href="http://intogymnastics.nl/">http://intogymnastics.nl/</a>):
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Wevers was the only gymnast without any big mistake in competition.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Van Gerner had two falls on beam last Saturday, but stayed on the beam today. The only big error today was on her full in dismount from bars, which was lovely in the warm-ups.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Top had a troubles on floor last Saturday (12.600) but showed today that she is still the best floor worker from the Netherlands, scoring a lovely 14.467!<span data-term="goog_1267478908">Saturday</span> she was the best on vault, today she had troubles, but stayed on her feet. On beam she fell with a front summersault.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Ruikes had great Yourchenko 1.5 scoring a 14.500. She also showed good beam- and floor but had two big mistakes on bars where she only scored 10.433.
</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
  Van Pol is not as consistent as she was last year. After not having a good competition last Saturday, today she fell off bars with her Van Leeuwen, had a wobbly beam routine, stepped out of bounce on her double arabian, but ended her competition well with a 14.000 on vault.
