Man, Kayla’s split positions are baaaaad. There’s no way the tour jete 1/2 is worth counting over an A/B skill. The double pike also doesn’t seem worth doing over a tuck.
She’s NOT coming off that beam! Probably not enough to pass Roberson unfortunately.
Roberson and Carey’s Chengs are pretty comparable as a whole. Roberson has her issues, but Carey is completely crooked on the table and does a Kas-full off, and it’s not a pretty one either.
Lincoln over Wong makes zero sense. Wong can contribute on all 4 events, has proven to be well liked by international judges, and was .05 behind Lincoln on her specialty today; Lincoln is completely unusable on 2 events.
Nothing like being the last athlete going in the building on your most important and the least predictable event. That should get her bonus points in consideration of “Can she handle the pressure”
