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

[JaJa]

Thanks Rich. For some reason when I went on MyUSAGym I could only get yesterday’s scores

 

[RedBirdie]

12.35 for Sumanasekera on beam

Once again, I remain terribly disappointed in what the Landis have (not) done with Sumanasekera.

 

[irichluck21]

13.900 bars and 13.700 beam.
Wong is going to Worlds and as competing member. She will compliment Roberson/Lincoln/Carey. Plus she can vault or do floor if need be.

ETA- I would put her in TF on bars to give Simone a break, there isn’t much difference between the two and the US won’t need to worry about her score over Biles. She did team finals last year as well on UB so she has the experience. Probably would use her in TF on beam to give Jones a break as well.

 

[MRR]

Jones with additional side aerial-LSO series, which is new (IIRC she didn’t do it day 1?)

 

[RedBirdie]

According to Gymnastic, Jordan is dealing with a cyst in her Achilles. Ouch.

 

[Sasha]

I’m loving this era of Jones’ career.

 

[Caligym]

If todays Shilese had shown up yesterday she would have beaten Simone by more than a full point. Nice to see a little competition.

 

[MRR]

Zoe 14.4 on bars. She benefits from Jones/Blakely/Biles each having a miss here, perhaps, but I think this needed to push 14.7 to make a case.

 

[JaJa]

Simone showing us that last night was just an off night for her.

 

[Laura722]

Are they announcing the team later tonight?

 

[Caligym]

Yeah don’t think it’s enough for worlds. But will make a great compliment to Lincoln for pan Ams.

 

[JaJa]

I believe so

 

[Laura722]

It seems like Jade hit beam, so at least she got a little personal redemption today.

 

[RichardL]

If Wong is on the competing team, who do you send as alternate? DiCello?

 

[JaJa]

Score for Jade on BB?

 

[RedBirdie]

It seems like Jade hit beam, so at least she got a little personal redemption today.

And took out that damn side jump.

 

[MRR]

Jade beam 13.4

 

[Sasha]

Pretty stellar for Carey to finish 3rd today after how yesterday went.

 

[Caligym]

How about:

Worlds - Biles/Jones/Blakely/Wong/Carey alt Dicello

Pan Ams - Chiles/Roberson/Lincoln/Miller… Zhou/Sumanasekera as 5th and alternate

 

[Sasha]

I’m bummed for Chiles. In the big scheme of things, this year’s Worlds isn’t critical for someone with her CV, but she seems to have lost her spark at the moment, and I don’t like that.
