2023 Xfinity Nationals Senior WAG Day 2 discussion

[MaryClare]

This is also still a domestic competition…

 

[Kara]

Best landings ever for Simone on floor?

 

[Rich]

Jordan looked best for her on floor tonight.

 

[QuietColours]

Chiles needs a double back witchcraft lesson from Maroney

 

[Caligym]

Simone saw Shilese’s 15 on bars and said… not today!

 

[Sasha]

Okay, Jordan NEEDED that. I’m not writing her off quite yet for this year.

 

[Aeris]

Jade redeemed herself on Vault tonight and looks like the best 5th member of the team just for that event. Nobody else is adding anything significant to what the top 4 AA have shown.

 

[RAFIKI]

Chiles is not her normal self on floor.

 

[tempest]

Maybe it’s age or her being slightly injured it seems, but whatever it is, it’s really helping with Simone’s landings. She usually bounces everywhere.

 

[Sasha]

Yes, but they’re using the regular code. Russia was using a domestic bonus system, no?

 

[MaryClare]

Not at that competition

 

[Sasha]

She’s looking unusually serious tonight, which isn’t the greatest sign for her.

 

[Sasha]

Okay, but I could swear that you told me they were!

 

[rlayt]

Domestic judges for domestic competitions too. Both are biased that way.

 

[MaryClare]

Spartakaida uses a modified code, the other competitions do not

 

[J175]

She has five international floor scores from various meets this year (excluding the one where she missed a CR) all higher than her highest score this weekend. I think it’s more that this isn’t her best than her routines can’t score highly internationally. The split positions do look particularly off to me.

 

[MaryClare]

Yep. GB also had some questionable domestic scoring this year

 

[Caligym]

Jade adds 2 tenths over Skye on vault. Lincoln adds 0.35 over Wong on Fx. Guess it depends who more likely to medal on their event?

 

[Denn]

That 8.6 E-score for Biles on floor could hold up at Worlds. That was very well executed. She’ll lose maybe 0.3 for artistry, based on the scores we saw last week.

I don’t think Carey showed enough. That floor is HORRIBLE. What the hell were they thinking???

 

[Passion]

Wong outscored Chiles on BB and FX both nights.
