Obsessed with this salty take almost a year later lol
2008 and 2012 US teams are among the best in history, the moment you start going through their accomplishments you get a headache and need @MaryClare to pour you a vodka
The writing was on the wall when you have beamers like Rivera and Blakely being likely world team members (and Pease waiting in the wings, and Wong being consistent this year etc).
A glow-up for sure but it's not like any of these routines would even be considered noteworthy at Worlds. She's definitely positioned to be part of the conversation in the next couple years but not any more so than about a dozen other athletes.
Hang is still in the top group, which she proved on day 2 of Nationals. But I don't really see a path to Worlds for her, which is a shame because this might have been her best chance.
