2023 US Classic (Pre Meet and WAG Juniors Discussion)

You know you’re old when you hear Addams Family and immediately think Phoebe Mills

 

[RedBirdie]

That never looks good on anyone.

That Beam must have been installed at an angle. No way 98% of the athletes have had falls

 

[Laura722]

12.6 for Ella Kate. Good for her after struggling for over a year.

 

[RedBirdie]

Didn’t realize Ossi also fell on her first pass.

Adele Ossi FX: Went for a triple full but form wasn’t there and she was short in rotation, fall. 2.5, leg form is also rough, lands short and then punches into a front tuck which she lands on her back. Double tuck to her face basically. JFC, this routine was soul-crushing. 7.200

And that routine construction! Jesus. A triple full and 2.5? No wonder her D score was so low. If she shorted the triple, then the 2.5 is repeated.

 

[Passion]

So far Lailah Danzy, Sophia Buechler, Catherine Guy, Trinity Wood, Adele Ossi are out of Nationals.

Lavi Crain, Ella Kate Parker made the score.

Nice FTY from Payton Chandler

 

[Hatsumomo]

Punch front to ass immediate bounce to feet

 

[RedBirdie]

So many gymnasts that don’t look like they belong at this level. This is depressing. Go be great level 10s!

 

[RedBirdie]

Guessing Pease sat her Y1.5

And frankly when there’s not a whole lot of competitions for juniors, there’s really no rush.

 

[RedBirdie]

Beautiful floor from Ally Damelio

Guessing Pease sat her Y1.5

DTY

 

[Laura722]

So Simone has only been seriously training for months?!! Amazing.

Simone Biles: A strong focus on return to gymnastics competition (houstonchronicle.com)

Biles began thinking of a comeback in March and told the Landis at dinner —Mexican food and maragitas — but got serious after her wedding in May to former Texans defensive back Jonathan Owens. “We really saw a shift in her training and commitment,” Cecile Landi said.

And even if they are going to be Senior next year, the chances of making this Olympic team are…infintestimal with the current senior talent. Take it easy, kids. Pace yourselves for 2028.

I really liked her hands in her wolf turn. Made it look elegant (well, almost).

 

[RedBirdie]

My brain is just not functioning tonight. Of course 5.0 is a DTY, not 1.5. I blame it on having to suffer through dinner with my husband’s wretched mother earlier tonight.

 

[RedBirdie]

I really question the scoring that is going on at the elite qualifier meets. There’s no way this many gymnasts have off days at Winter Cup and American Classic and US Classic.

 

[makam]

Well, it is probably past most of their bedtimes… /old lady

 

[Passion]

This thing dragged on for three hours.
