I’d like for Suni to focus on just being a bars and beamer (with a backup FTY vault) and get her health back to where it needs to be instead of pushing to be an AA gymnast when it just isn’t needed this year.

Also, I am glad someone degreased the bars and leveled the beam so we didn’t get quite as many falls as the juniors had.
 
Skye was 2nd on Bars, 3rd (tie) on Beam, and like 5th on VT. She is keeping up with the Bileses.

Sad that I don’t get to see the awards ceremony. CNBC switched to undercover boss as soon as the hour turned.

Katelyn Jong and Kaliya Lincoln were my pleasant surprises of the night.
 
Anyone know why Simone didn’t place on vault? Did she elect to have that event as exhibition only (didn’t even know that’s possible?)?
 
This moment brought to you by Prevagen. A memory moment. i’m going to buy some Prevagen.

So happy to see Kaliya Lincoln back and healthy! She’s always been a favorite for me since seeing her dominate floor at ‘21 junior nationals. I love that she broke into the 8’s in execution even with sons of those landings.

Looking at some of the E scores on beam kinda pissed me off even more thinking about Roberson’s E score from the 1st session. It’s giving Aly Raisman vibes and I don’t enjoy that.
 
Team USA is deep. Based on Classics results here is a potential Worlds team featuring Simone and not Carey/Chiles/Lee/Wong/Douglas…granted if Suni had done UB she likely would move ahead of Blakely or Miller.
