[Sasha]

Seriously? How odd!

 

[irichluck21]

Very smart for Simone to start with the Cheng.

She started with the YDP

 

[Rich]

wow 58.865

 

[Sasha]

Jesus, she would have scored 15.7 without Laurent.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Second vault scared me for a second; she was a little off-kilter

 

[tempest]

Her cheng has regressed a lot lately

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

It is still quite ragged.

 

[Sasha]

I think this angle is very unforgiving for the half on vaults.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Second vault drags Simone under a 15 average

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

did anyone else see the video from PT of Simone doing a Cheng, saying “that was so bad…where is Heath?” likely because she didn’t want Thorpe recording it. She commented she didn’t want it posted online by anyone (someone else did)

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I don’t remember the last time Simone put a vault to her feet and scored just a 9.0.

 

[Sasha]

So GB is in the next sub?

 

[cats]

I mean she had to scare us a little on something.

It’s insane to think it’s been 2.5 years since the Biles YDP debut. What a story!

I think Jones, Andrade, Gadirova, and maybe Lee will all be legit pushing Simone in some way through next year.

 

[FrolovasDoubleLayout]

Simone would have had 9.866 E without the neutral deduction.

The ND does not come from the E-score.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I don’t know about Gadirova, probably not Lee (I’m expecting that if she makes it, she’ll be a UB/BB specialist). It’ll be Andrade and Jones coming up on Simone. And that’s also the makeup of my premature podium prediction.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I see why they took Roberson and it was a legit decision based on the information at the time. It’s just not really panned out. But she will do her two events in TFs and has made a final, it’s not a disaster by any means.

 

[Laura722]

Thanks, I didn’t know that!

 

[blake]

Crossing my fingers for South Korea to hit today.

 

[tempest]

Assuming Simone will stay in 1st on VT, she will be first in the final and 4th on FX if she stays in 1st
