2023 Pan American Games WAG All Around Final (Monday, October 23rd Second Session)

[navyblue]

7.5 E score for Chiles floor score doesn’t seem outrageous. What did those of you that think so see?

If you (incorrectly) thought she counted a fall on her wolf turn, I can see why you would be outraged… scoring has seemed pretty lucid in these games though.

Graba is there with Luisa Blanco??

Yes, Luisa went to Midwest to train elite, not at Alabama. Not the same Graba brother that coaches Auburn.

She’s still a grad student at Alabama too, right? Must be busy/all online!

Depends what her graduate work is in. She does have to be full time student to be eligible to compete.

Was she going to keep doing college gym?

 

[RedBirdie]

Yes, she plans to compete this NCAA season

Also, while i am still Team Jordan, congrats to Kayla. Im glad she took this chance after being alternate at Worlds. I think her stock is way up at usag with her 2 really steady performances.

The medal podium is so tiny!

Kayla improved drastically over a few months, deferring NCAA to concentrate on elite was smart and she can work on upgrading bars and beam.

I think people underestimate DiCello at their own peril. She’s steady (at her best) and versatile, two major assets in team selection.

 

[RedBirdie]

I think Kayla may be Kelli Hill’s first Pan Am AA medalist.

Yes.
I believe her only other gymnast to compete at Pan Ams was Erinn Dooley in 1999

That’s what I thought, too. But being on my phone at a baseball game, I wasn’t exactly prepared to go digging through ancient Pan Am results.

I wonder if there’s something going on with Jordan that’s holding her back?

 

[navyblue]

Anyone know if they published All-Around scores with D/E breakdown somewhere? Trying to work out Flavia’s beam score. I think she was aiming for a 6.1 D score but I’d be surprised if both of her triple series were credited after inquiry…

Jordan seems fine. Beam today was amazing, bars was a weird mistake that she’ll correct in EF. I wish she’d go back to a three-pass floor routine, sigh. She won a World silver medal and scored her best score ever with three passes and not throwing the Gogean. So annoying to see her doing a double pike after those first three passes. But she’s right in there on the 8-person A team I’d say.

The Landis love 4 pass routines. Every single elite they have does four passes. Insane.

It’s such a bonkers strategy. Biles is the only gymnast on the US team who should be doing four passes. Lincoln does three and she’s going to outscore Roberson internationally if both hit, even though three of their passes are identical except that Roberson does the Moors rather than the Silivas. Why aren’t these coaches seeing this? (I mean, the Landis coached Chiles to a World silver with three passes, beating the reigning Olympic champion doing four passes, so they should know.)
