2023 Xfinity Nationals Senior WAG Day 2 discussion

[JaJa]

Do we know why Simone didn’t do 2 vaults tonight?

Stung her ankle

Steingruber and Zamo are also interesting choices for winners.

 

[RedBirdie]

There were two scores in the 9s. There’s something really bizarre that they were both WOGA gymnasts on bars.

 

[MaryClare]

All this walking on and off the podium is not good for Simone’s ankle

Since Khorkina won the AA it looked like a consolation prize for Patterson.

using the top 4…
VT: Blakely, Jones, Biles
UB: Wong, Blakely, Jones (Biles)
BB: Wong, Blakely, Biles (Jones)
FX: Wong, Jones, Biles

Biles has better UB potential scoring than Wong, and Jones has better BB potential scoring than Wong. But I’d like to see them both get a break.

so we really are looking at a VT/FX spot. And given even Blakely beat Carey on vault, I really hope they select Chiles who is usable backup on every event and a proven team leader

 

[J175]

Highest scoring team using both days combined is Biles, Jones, Blakely, Roberson and Lincoln.

Now thats a team that should never happen - Lincoln finished dead last on bars, over a point behind Roberson.

I think the highest scoring team on day 2 is Biles, Jones, Blakely, Miller and Lincoln at 174.2 but not 100% sure of that, there’s a whole bunch of combinations very close together.

 

[RAFIKI]

We need to have a retrospective thread on all the winners once nationals buzz has died down.

 

[QuietColours]

A Day 2 DiCello could fill the spot as well

 

[RedBirdie]

I’ll be VERY curious how Carey looks at camp.

 

[blake]

Whitlock won for the men in 2015…those feet beg to differ.

 

[makam]

I think Miller is too inconsistent at this point to send to Worlds but maybe camp will be where she shines.

 

[RedBirdie]

In no sane world would Lincoln and Roberson be on the same team. Are you going to put Lincoln and her 2 falls or no same bar release Roberson up on bars? Lulz.

ET: not directed at you, @J175. More of a comment about how you can’t just go with the highest scoring team. This year it’s just particularly ridiculous.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

the biggest deciding factor for the team, imo, is if Chiles shows up to Worlds camp with a Cheng. If she does that, she’s very difficult to pass over

I’m not seeing it for Lee this time around unfortunately

 

[irichluck21]

The World Team is Biles, Blakely, Jones, Wong and one more.

It’s Chiles or Lee for spot 5.

 

[QuietColours]

The music here sounds like background music from Kingdom Hearts and it’s putting me on edge waiting for something to spawn

You could probably throw Roberson in that group because she does bring everything but UB. And with 5 teammembers, it is easy to sit her on UB. And if one of the UB workers got injured, you can still sit her and let just the 3 go.
