Riley out of the beam lineup, and it's January. Hopefully they're playing around with lineups and being liberal with rest, but, meh. She and Hurd have been quite disappointing recruits. McCusker should be a lock for a 9.9+ on UB/BB every week, without question. Hurd had all the surgeries, but...

Maloney to C for CV purposes would accomplish a lot. +/- Van Leeuwen, Chow, and Shap to D for CV, +/- exempt if either connected to E element or same-bar release, whatever you like. For this to be effective, C element with no turn or flight shouldn't be eligible for CV at all, regardless of...

I mean, I'd take Yurchenko + Kas/Tsuk over the Rudi + "Kas/Tsuk" we see now. Plus, it's not like roundoff 1/2-on vaults were ever really discouraged in WAG relative to Tsuks, so Cheng gets more mileage. I'd like to see Tsuk go up in value and have the entry rotation be policed more than...

Yes, they knew. They were willing to see how it goes and excuse the s**t sandwich if she got results. But she didn't, because she's not a good coach at the end of the day, so that's that. Have we ever had another situation where a top 10 program had their head coaches bail on them for a...

Antwerp makes more sense if you stop trying to reconcile all these quotes and stories that don't add up, and instead start with the premise that Marta never had any intention of letting Dowell compete whatsoever, barring serious injury to the main 3. As unpopular and painful as this stance is...

Given the field, flubbing floor was excusable, and arguably absorbable. Bombing bars was not, especially when the campaign slogan leading up to Worlds became, if she is not going for AA, she is needed for bars. Her Nationals average on bars gets her top 2 UB and top 4 AA even with the floor...
