2024 U.S. Olympics Trials WAG/MAG

i think I might like it...

I did read online that is is a good idea to print out start lists if you are going to the event so you don't have to be constantly looking at your phone and know who is coming up next so thanks for sharing those!

it reminds me of those red, white, and blue popsicles.

Interesting that they’ve changed it based on athlete feedback

 

[Beamer]

Competing in Olympic order your whole career and then it suddenly changing at the most important meet of your life is kind of shitty. I'm glad they listened to the athletes.

I imagine the NCAA athletes would adjust to the original schedule better than athletes who rarely/never competed in that sort of rotation. You get a certain way you think about the next events after a point that is nice to keep routine.

I’d have them in Olympic order, one group starting on beam the other on vault to mirror their starting event for prelims (beam) and the most likely starting event in team finals (vault) at the Olympics. I’ve never understood why that information isn’t used for any number big meet team trials where starting events are known/can be reasonably guessed.

As we eagerly await Trials to get started, here's a long article from The Athletic on Chellsie and Alicia. Let me know if I need to make a separate thread and paste the article text there.

They have one of Team USA's toughest jobs: Picking Simone Biles' Olynpics teammates

Two former Olympic medalists are part of the panel that determines who will represent the U.S. as it tries to reclaim gold in Paris.

The amount of facts the writer got wrong in that article just kept piling up.

 

[Kara]

Absolutely hideous, way too much going on.

 

[RedBirdie]

Ugh, flag vomit leos.

Absolutely hideous, way too much going on.

I don't mind flag leotards, but when is someone going to realize that leotards should have one or two less features than they have these days? It's not cute. It's not stylish. Also, I like glitter and sparkle, but I don't need to be blinded. These leos are just tacky.

Simone got the privilege NOT to wear these ugly leos?
