I would definitely push back on the Roberson-vs-Lee beam deficit being that small – I think US Classic judging was too lenient on Roberson with that 8.0 e score, whereas I think that Suni Lee can actually achieve low to mid-8s given her technique and international reputation. While beam is unpredictable I think Lee has been a confident competitor there for years now, and her NCAA track record isn’t insignificant (given we saw her doing elite level combos each week like side aerial to double LOSOs).The deficit is just about 0.2 from Lee’s beam routine, and beam is an unpredictable event. Miller’s bars consistency and higher expected cushion will justify a specialist spot.
Unless she has no reason to think she will be any better next year. In which case why not just go for it.I’m not convinced that Suni returning to competition this year is the right decision. I think it would have been wiser to wait until next year.
I totally get that she would feel that way.If this is going to be something she is dealing with forever, I guess a last hurrah makes sense but only if it doesn’t cause further injury to her.
