2023 Xfinity Nationals Junior WAG Day 1 discussion

I do enjoy Esponda’s superhero three-point pose at the end of her FX.

same, iconic how she slowly lifted her head. Rivera’s beam is amazing. Her switch 1/2 outclasses the entire senior field sans Suni. Great switch ring too

 

[rlayt]

Yeah the end pose is cool. I like the choreography by Betty Okino but she needs to show some performance quality.

 

[Hatsumomo]

If Hezly can get her head game under control and be consistent, she’d definitely find herself in the running for next year, especially if Suni’s health woes don’t improve.

This music for Stassi is horrible.

 

[rlayt]

It doesn’t suit her either.

 

[blake]

I hate this new music for Rivera so damn much.

 

[Hatsumomo]

It’s killing me to just hear Rivera’s music and not see her performance.

 

[Bogwoppit]

Not watching Hezly do floor.

 

[Laura722]

Shit!

 

[rlayt]

Hezly has so much potential. I hope she gets the rest of it.

 

[makam]

the camera guys really don’t want to show us the leaders do they?

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

was her third pass of front tuck stepout thru to back layout planned?? Intentional water down?

 

[Laura722]

I don’t think that was planned.

 

[blake]

I think so. She ate mat on the double tuck in PT, and she didn’t seem to have the stamina for the front to dbl tuck and the back 5/2 in the same routine, but Valeri’s her coach…

 

[Hatsumomo]

Judging by her face at the end, probably unplanned.

 

[Laura722]

12.150 Rivera. Good enough for 2nd AA. Simone Rose in 1st.

 

[blake]

Simone Rose wins day 1!! And we only saw an 8th of her routines today smh

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Twin City girls have such an identifiable style. That was so Maggie Nichols-coded. The fanning herself down choreography?

 

[Laura722]

Finnell’s 13.600 on beam moved her up to 3rd. Only 8 gymnasts broke 50.
