2023 Xfinity Nationals Senior WAG Day 1 discussion

Obligatory oob on the Biles I lol

 

[JaJa]

Hah!

 

[QuietColours]

I don’t think she’s ever going to actually control that enough to put the stag on it. But great routine

 

[RedBirdie]

Yes! I much prefer this version on Simone’s gymnastics. Effortless and controlled.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Yes, she did this beautiful reach upwards and out with one of her arms, at the end of her double wolf. Nice to see her get into the choreo more at this meet

 

[Sasha]

I’m a little concerned that her improved control is a side effect of her being not at top shape (and thus not as powerful as usual)

 

[blake]

Lincoln half a tenth over Roberson on BB. Hallelujah!

 

[Rich]

Yes but her on her last tumbling run she looked so high she could add another twist or two…

 

[RedBirdie]

6.8/8.1/-.1/14.8

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Biles does a punch front 1/1 stepout through to Silivas and Sam is talking about how she is minimizing her twisting lol. In general, I think Sam improves from comp to comp

 

[Laura722]

They need to show this.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Jones and Biles are currently tied at 29.250. If Biles were to fall on VT or UB and Jones hits, I think they’ll be neck and neck going into night 2. That’s a huge feat, to be so close to Simone. It’s like when Mustafina was leading in the Rio AA after two rotations

 

[Hatsumomo]

I wish USAG was uploading routines on their YT page like they were for the juniors, but I guess they won’t until the competition is over since it’s airing on Peacock.

 

[blake]

Fatta survives her 2.5 dismount on beam.

Katelyn Jong is borderline unwatchable. She has a nice full-out on UB though.

 

[Sasha]

Or when McCusker was beating Simone after three in 2019 (?)

 

[RedBirdie]

Jade fucked up her Cheng! Only a 8.35 e score.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Wong’s Bhardwaj looks like a fish writhing around in a net, hoping to be let back into water

 

[Hatsumomo]

And Suni beat Simone Day 1 of 2021 Nationals, IIRC

 

[Rich]

joscelyn stepped out on two passes.

 

[RAFIKI]

I do appreciate that Roberson gets into her wolf position in an interesting way.
