The Hezly leos available on GK's website do not include bible verses.

No sign of the senior WAG routines yet, but the junior playlist with every single routine is up. The complete broadcasts, in all of their Paul Juda awfulness, are also up. Junior WAG Senior WAG Senior MAG

Where did they get Dreamlight leos? Have those been sitting in a storage room for 10+ years?

Roberson and Blakely competed at worlds. Sullivan was "only" an alternate. Maybe she's decided she's done with elite for the time being. She wasn't even sure she was going to do elite at all last year and had seriously considered dropping back to level 10.

That's Audrey VanGrissven, and fwiw, she'll turn 12 in April. I agree that it's way too many years as a junior elite. I will also say her basics and technique are very good, which is a nice change of pace from most US juniors. She also does rather low difficulty, as is typical of Pacific Regin...

I frankly thought it very strange that the world team members, who are automatically qualified to nationals, would be dropped from the national team if they didn't compete at Winter Cup. Glad someone came to their senses.

I suspect it's because 8th place didn't score above a 51.50, which is what needs to be scored for a "wildcard" opportunity to go to nationals. Not wanting to reward sub-par gymnastics with international assignments and such. So only 7 national team members to pick from, since Hang is still injured.

I just realized Hardie was on the last announced roster but didn't compete. Wonder what happened. I fear she'll be another beautiful junior with great basics that just stagnates.

Maybe the weakest Jesolo team ever.

Probably. I think she's had it on past leos.

Rivera, Bullock, Pease, Esponda, Moreau, and Pease qualify to nationals.

Not sure which event, but Simone Rose got a score raised, because now she has a 52.70 (qualifies to nationals) vs. a 52.40 (doesn't qualify)

Valeri loves making his gymnasts do 4 pass floor routines almost as much as I love beer.

Meltdown on bars for Stassi

I wonder if Moreau has some mental block with more than a full twist. Just realized her floor routine is all.double saltos, and her beam dismount is a double pike. Which is problematic for upgrading her vault, to say the least.
