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

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.)

Maybe chelse and alicia should be telling the coaches this.

Hell, Suni Lee became Olympic AA champion by removing a pass in her FX.

Yep, but the USA hasn’t learned from that at all. Suni talked about a stigma of 3 pass routines and that hasn’t seemed to have gone away.

Why the hell there are 3rd tier elites, who are presumably looking to impress college coaches rather than USAG, being sent out with 4 pass routines is absolutely ridiculous
