It really is anyone’s chance as they are all decent all arounders but a few do have a weak event.
I think it will come down to consistency. Moldauer and Malone are clear favorites but if they have one disaster event it’'ll drop them down considerably.
It’s interesting how the national team has become a few top gymnasts and Standford (who are also top gymnasts) to the point where you could almost just take Standford. Of course I would consider and likely take the other few, but it is a point of interest to me. At a glance, Yul, Shane, Vitaliy (if he can repeat Winter Cup), Brody, and Riley.
Edit to note- I have not tried to balance this by event at all. More AA and frankly I just like Riley’s gymnastics.
It does make sense to send some of the newer athletes to get experience.
They just need to ensure they are in the top 4 to qualify to Worlds. Which they would likely be able to do so barring any extenuating circumstances.
They finished 2nd last year with a comfortable margin.
