2023 Xfinity Nationals Senior WAG Day 2 discussion

I think she has a diamond embedded in one of her teeth. You could see it sparkling when she was talking.

Zoe Miller 22nd AA, 17th UB

If it makes her happy, sure. I have to admit my immediate reaction is “Why?”

 

[Bogwoppit]

Good question. But hubby is a dentist and he sees all kinds of whacked out things. The worst being tongue piercings.

If Jade is added to the national team, she receives some substantial funding because she’s an Olympic champion. Scroll down to the link for the funding tiers document.

Did Biles attempt the double pike vault today? I tuned in late.

 

[Sasha]

No

 

[Laura722]

No. Did the Cheng.

 

[makam]

No. She had a stung ankle and went for her easy vault, the Cheng.

 

[RedBirdie]

You guys, Roberson’s day 1 Cheng only scored .2 less than Simone’s Cheng tonight.

 

[rlayt]

Imagine. Her easy vault is the Cheng.

 

[Sasha]

“just” a Cheng

 

[JaJa]

Whatever. I’m getting cheese fries

Save some for Jade. I’m sure she needs some after this weekend.

Lincoln was a full point ahead of Wong on FX day 1. The scores were much closer today but Wong still lost.

Wong can only contribute on an event at this point if benching someone who is better on the event. We still need to see what happens at selection camp but I don’t think “she allows Simone to rest on bars in TF” is good reasoning for team selection. Certainly none of the men’s teams are selected that way. I want to see medal chances maximized. If Leanne can score very close to Lincoln again at final selection then it’s justifiable to take her as “backup”, but right now Lincoln brings a considerably higher team score and medal chance.

 

[Denn]

If I was making the team today, and assuming Lee is okay enough to do a 14.5+ bars, I would do this:

VT: Roberson
UB: Wong, Lee, Jones
BB: Lee, Jones, Biles
FX: Wong, Jones, Biles

With regrets to Sky Blakely…

The judges had these 2 routines within half a point of each other in execution. I don’t get it.

In addition to the top 10
I also see being invited to Trials:
Alicia Zhou
Nola Matthews
Kaliya Lincoln
Jade Carey
Madray Johnson
Addison Fatta
Myli Lew
Zoe Miller

That’s 18
