Cannot wait for this. I’m so starved for gymnastics right now.

It’s been too long!

NBC will presumably need a login, right? Does ‘archived for viewing’ mean that USAG might also have a livestream?

 

[allaround]

Do we know who is competing? Or at least, any rumors of who will be there?

 

[RedBirdie]

Everyone should be there. National team will be selected, so unless there is a really compelling readiness reason, anyone and everyone aiming for Tokyo should be there. If there are spring international assignments (unlikely, but…) they will go to national team members.

Thus is a HUGELY important meet. As a benchmark, it’s critical. Some people haven’t been before judges since nationals 2019 (other than camps). Laurie Hernandez hasn’t been on the competition floor in 4.5 years. And we’ve seen nothing in over a year from everyone else, except for 2020 Scam.

Obviously no one should peak for this, but it is a critical benchmark for 2021.

Does ‘archived for viewing’ mean that USAG might also have a livestream?

It will definitely be uploaded after the event is over, whether they will also have a livestream or not is currently listed as TBA. So it’s possible.

They’ve done international livestreams during NBC productions in the past. I don’t know if Covid or the new partnership with FloGymn or whatever new rules NBC could possibly have may complicate things.

I hope everyone plans to compete but who knows… Who do you most want to see? For me, Chellsie. In juniors I like several a lot but eMjae for sure. For the men I want to see Donnell come back strong. I have a weakness for comebacks and underdogs.

 

[JaJa]

This is incredibly exciting. But am I reading this right – the only way we can watch the junior women is on FloGymnastics?

 

[Bogwoppit]

That sure looks like the case. Well, it will be a cold day in hell before I pay Gymnastike/Flo to watch their feed.

 

[JaJa]

Even in a cold day in hell they will not get my money . . . . .

 

[rlayt]

There’s always something on YouTube. Just wait a day.

 

[RedBirdie]

Two weeks out and still no roster. Very irritating.

 

[irichluck21]

I am sure they are waiting until last minute because of Covid, etc.

 

[JaJa]

For sure. Everything and everyone is in chaos these days. (Good to see you Irichluck21-- hope you have been well)

Ok they bleeped out the expletive I put in the middle of Amen! But you get my drift.

 

[irichluck21]

It is good to see you as well! Missed many of you all. I have been stressed with work during the pandemic but most people are LOL. This too shall pass. Hope all is well and you are healthy and safe.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

It is good to see everyone! There are some usernames I don’t recognise though, is anyone new or are we all old wwgym transplants?

 

[rlayt]

I hope I’m done being an “Escapee”.

I must changed my name. Hello all, formerly FlyingRobin checking in.
