2023 Pan Am Gymnastics Championship (Worlds Qualifier) May 26-28

[irichluck21]

11.633 for floor exercise and 13.067 on vault.
She had .3 ND on FX it appears.
Her bars is lacking 2 requirements, a flight element on the same bar and a full turn. Wonder if she can add those in for Worlds.

 

[RedBirdie]

You’d hope she could add at least one of those missing bar requirements. She’ll have months to work on it. I totally get sticking with what she was comfortable with for Pan Ams, and its a strategy that has her well positioned to make worlds, which was the goal. But I’d be shocked if she doesn’t upgrade.

 

[RedBirdie]

Roberson anchoring beam is a choice. Curious to see how this plays out later today.

 

[makam]

USA on beam. I actually like Nola’s low beam work.

 

[RAFIKI]

Cool roll! Her sideways choreo stood out to me as well.

 

[makam]

Camera operators like Panama i guess. Too bad the scoring site isn’t working.

Scoring must be fast, Roberson up. Acro series was nice. Those leaps tho…

Tiana with a 13.767 on bb…

Too many closeups of feet on bb. Need to see the whole body, camerapeople!

After subdivision 2 the standings were (I think, the stream is blurry)

1. Natalia Escalera MEX 53.333
2. Alexa Moreno MEX 51.600
3. Carolyne Pedro BRA 50.567
4. Julia Soares BRA 50.499
5. Olivia Kelly BAR 49.468
6. Andreza Lima BRA 48.467
7. Lynnzee Brown HAI 48.100
8. Makarena Pinto CHI 47.700
9. Franchesca Santi CHI 47.233
10. Ana Karina Mendez PER 46.901

I think Mexico might be ahead of Brazil. Escalera might be in the mix for a medal?

 

[Rich]

Not a great start for Fatta with a fall on opening pass

 

[makam]

I mean, i know Colombia are hosts, but we could be seeing other stuff…just in time to catch roberson botching her wolf. She competing with Jordan for who can have the worst?

 

[RedBirdie]

If, like me, you’re unable to watch the stream, USAG is posting videos of the US routines in this twitter thread

 

[RedBirdie]

Tiana beam

 

[J175]

Roberson scored 14.1 on floor.

Sumanasekera 13.567
Matthews 12.667
Fatta 12.167

 

[makam]

Oh, hey, canada is in this rotation, who knew?

 

[RAFIKI]

Too many closeups of feet on bb. Need to see the whole body, camerapeople!

It’s getting silly. Three times during Turner’s routine :roll_eyes:

Who was the first Canadian we saw on beam? She had a lovely split position on her mount and nice flow to her routine.

 

[RedBirdie]

53.900 for Tiana.
52.267 for Nola.

 

[J175]

After subdivision 3

USA 162.167
Mexico 159.099
Canada 155.768
Brazil 150.399
Colombia 143.734

AA

Tiana Sumanasekera USA 53.900
Natalia Escalera MEX 53.266
Aurelie Tran CAN 52.867
Nola Matthews USA 52.267
Alexa Moreno MEX 51.600
Carolyne Pedro BRA 50.567
Julia Soares BRA 50.499
Sydney Turner CAN 50.168

Argentina are probably likely to knock Colombia out of Worlds as a team. Individual qualifiers could still change quite a bit but I think Tyesha Mattis is definitely out after being the top individual qualifier at this event last year.

 

[blake]

Mexico up 10 points from last year!

 

[gymfan]

Roberson hits 14 again even with that wolf turn! Really hope to see the first half of the routine.

 

[RedBirdie]

Lives scores have been a disaster for me, but this is where the US women stand so far

 

[irichluck21]

Guess Fatta didn’t do her 2nd vault.
