2024 MAG Qualification Subdivision 1 (GER, USA, MG 5, GBR, MG 4, CAN)Saturday, July 27 5:00 am ET

[makam]

Well, at least Brody can commiserate with Sam about Olympic disappointments. Get a pep talk.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

So, what are people's bets thad Nederosik gets the only medal for the USA men?

Dunno, I could still see pommels being more competitive than team bronze!

 

[Beamer]

I hope Brody Malone will pull a Jordyn Wieber and turn it around for TF. (Not that Jordyn had an awful day in Quals).

 

[Big_rock_show]

Putting Nederosick on the team was a risk - if he didn’t hit in qualifying then he’s just there for a single TF score. Luckily he did his job.

Putting Brody on the team was a no-brainer, but still not a sure bet on such a big stage. Brody’s post-meet interview looked MISERABLE. He’s going to have some mental work to do before Monday.

Paul Juda’s post-meet interview was maybe the happiest and most adorable thing I’ve ever seen in my life

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Asher is less than .2 behind Petrounias on SR!

Yeah, I think he's more likely than not to make the EF. Probably the 2nd best US individual final chance after Stephen.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I’m very curious to see what the US does for team final lineups. They are going to have to take a very hard unmartha approach to have a chance.

 

[Beamer]

I hope Jarman makes VT EF. He's a lock for FX.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I hope Jarman makes VT EF. He's a lock for FX.

I rate his chances higher now than I did after the first rotation.

 

[Angelika]

Very pleased overall with Team GB's performance - potentially all 5 team members in an individual final is beyond expectations - Joe, Max , Jake and Harry look dead certs for finals - Luke could just make it in FX if others waver.

Did Brody just peak too early? He was lights out at nationals and then had struggles at trials.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

So fun to start my Olympics with heartbreak. Thanks a lot Brody. Happy for Juda though. Let's hope the rest goes better and that the US men can hit well in TF.

 

[Rich]

hopefully an off day for brody. He has just come back for an injury so has not competed on the world stage in awhile.

 

[Passion]

Some felt that the team didn't need Brody. I was one of them. They won a team bronze last year without him.

Brody earned his spot on the team fair and square. But I wish Khoi had made the team instead.

2023 Khoi absolutely.

2024 Khoi wasn’t going to be any less injured unfortunately. His injury needs rest to heal and there’s no time for rest between Trials and the Olympics. He would have either been the same rough that he was at Trials or worse.

I’m wondering if Malone really was feeling sick earlier in the week and USAG was maybe misinformed in it’s reporting that he wasn’t.

 

[RAFIKI]

My view for sub 1

I think we are going to see some very high scores this games. I noted the 8.8 for SN on PH and 8.6 something for Hong on SR.

I was shaking during Whitlock’s PH…so stressful when he used to be one I trusted. Really impressed with GB and quite something to see Fraser and Jarman so close in AA. for the borderline event finalists.

Gutted we’ve lost so many potential medalists already (HB, PH), but that’s always the way in quals.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Have seen the sickness thing come up a few times elsewhere now. I didn't think Brody was visibly ill in the same way as, say, Shang Chungsong was still clearly under the weather in Rio prelims and then looked loads better a few days later. But it isn't always noticeable.

 

[rlayt]

Khoi is young and he’ll be making teams again. LA will be his games.

 

[ewdot2480]

Overall, disappointment; as Brody is my favorite US male gymnast. Devastated for him. Hope he can rebound and he can possibly help win a medal for US with the Team.

Fred Richard did very well; though, I kinda expected a liiiittle bit more from him on key events.

Impressed by Nedoroscik, Hong, and especially Juda. Holy cow, did Juda come through. So happy for him and his joy and pride is infectious -- it's what the Olympics should be all about.

 

[Onyxrose81]

2023 Khoi absolutely.

2024 Khoi wasn’t going to be any less injured unfortunately. His injury needs rest to heal and there’s no time for rest between Trials and the Olympics. He would have either been the same rough that he was at Trials or worse.

I’m wondering if Malone really was feeling sick earlier in the week and USAG was maybe misinformed in it’s reporting that he wasn’t.

Yeah, Khoi is injured and it was miserable watching him at Trials in pain. He wasn’t going based on being visibly injured and struggling. Brody unfortunately just had an implosion at the worst time but who saw that coming.

 

[rlayt]

Brody has always had a great mental game. Maybe this is a one off.
