More than 250 gymnasts are on the preliminary roster for the upcoming women's European championships, May 9-13 in Brussels.
Eleven gold medals will be up for grabs in Brussels: senior team and individual apparatus, and junior team, all-around and apparatus.
Russia and Romania are expected to battle for the senior team supremacy, with Great Britain, Italy, France and Germany among the teams aiming for a podium finish.
Defending champion Russia is bringing its formidable trio of Aliya Mustafina, Viktoria Komova and Anastasia Grishina, plus newcomer Anastasia Sidorova. Mustafina, who suffered a torn ACL last April at the 2011 European Championships in Berlin, is nearly back to full strength in the all-around. Reigining European all-around champion Anna Dementyeva did not make the squad, but could be a substitute for Ksenia Afanasyeva, who is on the initial roster but is likely to be replaced.
Romania's Sandra Izbasa, vault and floor exercise champion from Berlin, is back from her Achilles' tendon injury that sidelined her from the 2011 Worlds. Izbasa, Olympic champion Catalina Ponor and new star Larisa Iordache will attempt to reclaim the European crown Romania last won in 2008.
Competition begins May 9 with junior qualification, followed by senior qualification on May 10. Junior all-around final takes place May 11, followed by the senior team final on May 12 and apparatus finals on May 13.

She should have been named to the team outright. I'm disappointed we won't see the epic Bars final I was hoping for what with Beth Tweddle out of action but at least Musty and Komova will both be there knock wood!
