2023 US Classic (Pre Meet and WAG Juniors Discussion)

[RedBirdie]

thank you for the on-site report!

 

[RedBirdie]

Updated start lists say Jade isn’t doing vault and floor. At the moment, Suni is down for VT, UB, and BB. Myli Lew has withdrawn.

I’m 99% sure I see Levi, but she’s also disappeared from the start list. (ETA: n/m, she’s just not competing vault)

Joscelyn is really supposed to replace Jade?! She can put a Cheng and Moors to her feet, but the rest is a disaster, including her DTY. Bars and beam are hopeless.

This is really scary, I really hope she doesn’t injure herself.

 

[RedBirdie]

you want really scary? That Cheng was better than the two DTYs she did.

 

[makam]

It is very banana-y in the air.

 

[rlayt]

Technical difficulties with the stream. Anyone else?

 

[RedBirdie]

Mine’s working

 

[RedBirdie]

Is it just me, or is Kayla DiCello rotating her double saltos much better after a year at Florida? She used to rotate so slowly, to the point where I was convinced she was breaking the laws of physics.

 

[RedBirdie]

I also just noticed Ashlee Sullivan is only doing beam and floor. Skye is not doing floor. no bars for Kaliya Lincoln

 

[irichluck21]

welp HAHAHA

What the hell is Landi doing.

 

[RedBirdie]

Having her chuck has much difficulty as possible because it hides her shit execution. He knows the judges can’t possibly take off for everything, but an easier routine makes it easier to see her flaws. it’s the Aly Raisman approach.

I believe Jade is there with her Dad, but who’s there with Leanne?
(oh and I just realized Brian became Oregon Coach just this past week, that’s why)

 

[irichluck21]

but who’s there with Leanne

I haven’t seen him but I believe Owen Field was supposed to attend with Leanne.

 

[RedBirdie]

Yurchenko Double Pike alert!

She landed slightly short, fwiw.

 

[makam]

Sat it down to the side looked like. Eee!

Overrotated the second attempt. Not off to the side on this one.

This

 

[RedBirdie]

Video of the first attempt from xwitter:

Second attempt:

Third:
Still extra power, maybe she should try laying it out?

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Did Simone warm up any other vaults than the YDP? Desperately hoping I will get to see her do it in person tomorrow.

Given that we know she’s been back in the gym way longer than we thought, I wonder if she’s been working it the whole time as opposed to her other vaults as it was in a sense more accessible as she was working through the twisties.
