I would assume Shilese is pacing herself. She competed a lot in 2022, so it makes sense to take some down time and focus on being peaked for Worlds. She doesn’t need to go out and prove herself at Winter Cup and spring internationals.
Madray Johnson, interesting choice not to be at Winter Cup. As a new senior, she would be someone I would want to get out in front on international judges at either DTB or Jesolo. Maybe she’s hurt. Valeri’s other seniors are competing, so…
I’m really interested to see how the new seniors are looking, and how the various gym changes are going.
