During Marta’s first couple of years as the NTC, one of the things that she got right was sending gymnasts to more competitions, even if these were sometimes just minor meets. One of the most surprising assignments I remember given happened in 2001. Kupets and Postell had originally been scheduled to compete in the Japan Junior International, but withdrew following the 9/11 attacks. Instead, they were both sent to the Glasgow Grand Prix that December.US women attending a world cup?! This really is a new era.
I liked the format of multiple qualification competitions leading to a final. I was fortunate enough to attend in 2000, 2004 and 2008. It was a good chance for gymnasts to make up for disappointing Olympics EFs e.g. Cheng FeiSacramone and Memmel won the 2004 World Cup final on vault and bars respectively.
I wonder why Jones isn’t doing bars and it is a bit odd to see Carey on BB but since these three are the core of the team, seeing how they fair on events they might not do in team finals is an interesting strategy. Unless they want to see how Jones and Carey score on beam and Chiles on floor internationally with this code.Weird that Carey is doing BB instead of FX, but I guess it’ll be good to see how Chiles is scored. Carey has plenty of international scores for hit routines so we generally know how she’s being received. I would’ve liked to see Jones to bars, though! She’s by far the strongest there, probably in the whole field.
Agreed. When she is on, Shilese is a world beater. I would like to see her get more practice hitting bars.It would be nice to either get Shilese the practice
