2023 World Championships & Pan American Games Team Trials (USA)

At this point I would take Carey as a vault specialist over Roberson. She had the single highest vault score and normally does better on her DTY.
Wong and Blakely can do FX in TQ and Wong can do it in TF.

VT (Blakely) Jones, Carey, Biles
UB (Biles) Wong, Blakely, Jones
BB (Jones/Wong) Jones/Wong, Biles, Blakely
FX (Blakely) Wong, Jones, Biles

Worlds
Biles, Blakely, Carey, Jones, Wong (alternate: DiCello)

Pan Ams
Roberson, Lincoln, Sumansekera, Miller, Chiles (alternate Matthews)
VT Sumanasekera, Lincoln, Chiles, Roberson (Chiles and Roberson vault finals)
UB Roberson/Lincoln, Sumansekera, Chiles, Miller (Chiles and Miller UB finals)
BB Roberson, Lincoln, Chiles, Sumansekera (any of the 4 for finals)
FX Chiles, Sumansekera, Roberson, Lincoln (any of the 4 for finals)

Unfortunate for athletes like Fatta and Zeiss because of the depth of the team they aren’t in contention for either.

What happened to Katelyn Jong, she didn’t compete here.
Did she accept her individual slot or did she get injured. I missed it if she got injured.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Carey just seems exhausted.

 

[RichardL]

Apparently injured during warm-ups? But definitely injured unfortunately.

So no Pan Am Games then.
Sad.

 

[RedBirdie]

Jong was seen in a boot, but walking. No idea the extent of the injury.

[Ginger]

Tonight comp, per USAG X (aka Twitter) page.
So they do only UB and BB tonight except of Jade (vault) and Addison Fatta (FX)

 

[irichluck21]

Interesting Jade on vault…clearly they still have her in the running.

 

[RedBirdie]

USAG is posting routines on Twitter. Here’s Kaliya on floor.

 

[Ginger]

Does anyone know where to find the vault scores from last night?
Who competed vault anyway? Jade, Joscelyn, Skye, anyone else?

 

[RedBirdie]

Leanne did 2 vaults

 

[irichluck21]

Fatta, Disidore, Blakely, Chiles, Carey, Roberson

Only the first vault score is up on the MyGym app

This seems like a missed opportunity for so many gymnasts. What is the point of seeing Roberson or Lincoln’s bars? The 3rd FX spot in TF is one of the two unresolved routines at this point. I’m surprised that they think they have enough information to fill it given that Robertson’s national scores were quite poor.

 

[irichluck21]

What is the point of seeing Roberson or Lincoln’s bars?

Seeing who is best fit for those two event as they are their weakest. At this point both are pretty much the same scores on both VT/FX give or take a tenth.

 

[Ginger]

Yep, that’s what myusagym always do. I hoped Balance Beam Situation will mention both scores but no, just the first one.

 

[irichluck21]

 

[Ginger]

Yes, but I would also expect Jade to do bars rather than beam.
Then, if she hits both her vault and bars, they would take her for vault (potential world medal here) and bars, and Kaliya for floor.
But she is doing beam so

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Does it matter though? Neither has any business even being put up in qualifications. If a gymnast is too injured to do bars, they’re usually too injured to do any other event. An alternate would be a more suitable substitution than either of these two, unless they are being considered as an alternate.

 

[Ginger]

I actually prefer myusagym start list as it has D/E breakdown.
But still no second vault score there.

Myusagym, do better!!!
