2024 U.S. Olympics Trials WAG/MAG

[rlayt]

I’ve been trying to find time to watch The Bear on Hulu so I can be done with it.

Jade Carey last on floor day 2, her spot on the team likely on the line. This is going to be exciting!!!

 

[rlayt]

I love a nail-biting finish!

 

[tempest]

in MAG rotation 5 on day 1 and rot 3 on day 2 may decide the MAG team

I might die from the stress.

Anyone else finds the apparatus order weird? One group goes in the usual order VT-UB-BB-FX while the group starting on bars goes UB-VT-FX-BB.
Do they always rotate like this during olympic trials? Maybe they did in the past but I don't recall (but my memory is not that great so...)

I never saw that.

Yeah...that's a...choice. I feel like the last time they did this was in 2000, but I'm blanking on 2004 and 2008, probably because as I've gotten older I haven't rewatched competitions as much. I know I watched 2000 Day 2 a ton because it was one of the few gymnastics tapes I had.

eta: I just quickly ran through the 2004 coverage and they didn't do it the college duel meet way.

That’s the usual format for Olympic trials. Basically NCAA meet format

That's how college dual meets rotate; they're probably taking advantage of the familiarity the audience (and maybe camera and network crews) with that style meet

 

[RedBirdie]

I am 99% certain this has been the rotation format for Trials for a very long time. They only ever run two events at a time.

No, it's not. I looked at the 2021 coverage and there were beam routines less than half way through.

2004-Olympic order
2008-Olympic order
2012-Olympic order
2016-college dual meet order
2021-Olympic order

Ashamed to admit I don't watch NCAA much.
Hopefully they will alternate the routines/won't have two gymnasts up at the same time. Like Caylor on bars, while waiting for her score we'll watch DiCello vaulting, then Biles on bars, then Lee vaulting...

 

[arabiandoublefront]

It also seems like some years they divided the gymnasts among two events; others three events, but I could be wrong.

I’m always so nervous for live sports to the point where it sometimes isn’t fun. For gymnasts I worry about safer landings (and for my favorites to hit).

The ncaa format is definitely better for broadcasting. It makes it much easier to show the majority of routines

I like the VT/UB UB/VT then BB/FX FX/BB best because you can really see where gymnasts are at halfway through the meet with comparable apparatus. VT being a higher scoring event.

The new season drops on Thursday, so that goal might have to be pushed back.
