I just realized Leanne Wong is NOT rotating with GAGE! Maybe she has finally fully broken free. Maybe there’s hope for her routine construction after all.
Fingers crossed.
I also wonder if the draw was done because the main group in on bars sans DiCello (BB), Blakely (VT), Carey (VT).
So they can follow that main group from event to event, pp in Blakely, Carey, DiCello, and Suni (if added).
We don’t know what the line ups are yet do we? I don’t think all of the nationals qualifiers will all do all around.

A little disappointed MDJDS is not in the main group, especially since she is an Olympian.
 
Yeah, I skipped a summer gymnastics practice to watch the 2004 women’s AA on a European livestream. I remember it distinctly because I was shaking like mad during Carly Patterson’s beam routine.
 
Update with Suni.

I wonder how GAGE managed to get their entire squad registered. IIRC they were not on the entry list USAG published which was supposedly closed 18 days ago. They were only registered for American Classic. Not that I think it’s impossible for USAG to accidentally have left an entire team off that had actually registered, but it’s certainly interesting that they’ve been making so many clerical errors in the run-up to Classic.

USAG seems to be messy right now making multiple errors. They also left off Fatta and Jones from the original entry list.
 
It wasn’t clear by the minutes, but are the new qualification scores retro-active? I.e. - do they apply also to the American Classic? Since the IEC meeting was on the 18th, in theory, they should only apply to anything from the date voted upon and forward - unless an extraordinary rule is applied.
 
I am sure the are retro-active, as they are now listed in 2023 Elite Qualification chart.

So two more juniors (Tyler Turner and Charleigh Bullock), and senior Michelle Pineda qualified through American Classic.

ETA: looks like 2 Event score was also lowered? Wasn’t it 27.00 previously? So even more gymnasts qualified through July camp.
