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

This floor music seems very early 00s, in a good way?

 

[blake]

Yeesh, that DTY for Jade. I guess the nerve issue from nationals is to blame.

 

[RichardL]

GORGEOUS DTY by Wong to follow Carey’s…

 

[rlayt]

Jade needs to go home and heal.

 

[Beamer]

It could be the arm injury and numbness is worse than expected and has lasted. At least that would explain Carey.

 

[RichardL]

Yeah, Carey is really paving the way for a Roberson world team berth. What is this world

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I just don’t get why Roberson is being pushed so much by USAG.

 

[Caligym]

Great floor from Lowe!

 

[blake]

Didn’t Lexi Zeiss have a minor surgery a couple before nationals? And now she’s doing all-around. I wonder if that was a smart choice.

 

[JaJa]

It’s a conspiracy to drive us all crazy. Can not think of any other rational explanation

 

[QuietColours]

It’s not just USAG. Internationally, she’s gotten four floor scores over 14 this year, and her lowest is 13.3. Her domestic scores actually trend lower than her international ones.

I don’t understand how, but those are the numbers.

 

[Beamer]

That Roberson’s FX tied Kaliya’s FX is criminal.

 

[Caligym]

Roberson has gone to multiple international competitions now too…do you all think they are all in on the conspiracy to “push” her too?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I’m also very tired of non-connected leap series/passes on floor. I never liked it back in 2006.

 

[RedBirdie]

Roberson’s successes are Exhibit A when I litigate why the current code is an utter fucking failure.

 

[JaJa]

Roberson has gone to multiple international competitions now too…do you all think they are all in on the conspiracy to “push” her too?

Yes. It’s a global conspiracy as it turns out

 

[RichardL]

Chiles on floor and vault are the huge questions for me at least. She needs to show improvement from nationals, which I have no doubt she will.

 

[Caligym]

Now this criticism I understand. Writing off Roberson as a baffling push by USAG is silly. She has the potential to win international medals. That is why she is in the running to make international teams.

If Steve Penny were still in charge of USAG, he’d love the obvious MLR comparisons.
