2024 US Nationals pre-competition discussion

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I do not understand why Simone is doing a 2nd pirouette directly Connected to her dismount. It’s been a .3 every time.

 

[RedBirdie]

Because Laurent knows no other way than to shove as much difficulty as possible into routines?

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Trinity has a DTY. It’s not great, but it’s landed.

 

[Laura722]

Cheng from Jade.

Yurchenko double again from Trinity.

Shilese did a full run-through of her floor with her tumbling passes and it looked great.

 

[Laura722]

Skye just wants to break our hearts looking this good on beam in PT.

 

[Laura722]

Kayla looked fine on beam. She started her dismount but stopped in the middle of it. Got off and restarted it.

I saw some struggles from Tiana and Roberson on UB.

 

[Laura722]

Looks like Al Fong is walking around with a limp in his step.

 

[Laura722]

Valeri just tripped over the springboard and fell, lol. He's alright.

 

[Laura722]

Double double from Kayla, double front + stag from Skye

Yurchenko double from Jayla Hang, yurchenko full from Suni.

 

[Laura722]

Double yurchenko from Suni!

Great beam from Simone.

 

[Laura722]

Trinity on UB now was just stunning!

 

[Passion]

Is Shilese have an ongoing shoulder injury? I remember something about it last year.

 

[RichardL]

Thomas on bars was gorgeous, and Chiles just nailed a beam routine with only one balance check on the new front pike mount. The 2017 seniors are killing it lol.

ETA: Thomas was a 2018 senior.

 

[Laura722]

Kayla has done her 2 1/2 twist front 1/1 at least 3 times.

 

[RichardL]

Thomas on bars was gorgeous, and Chiles just nailed a beam routine with only one balance check on the new front pike mount. The 2017 seniors are killing it lol.

ETA: Thomas was a 2018 senior.

Five of the top 11 AA at 2018 Nationals are here, lol...

[Laura722]

Wong had some struggles on UB (hit her feet against the low bar after a release), but just did a nice set.

 

[JaJa]

Valeri just tripped over the springboard and fell, lol. He's alright.

Am I immature for laughing a little when I read this?

 

[RichardL]

Thomas is going back to her college beam series. It's a shame that she's struggled with the aerial + back layout because it's gorgeous.

 

[Laura722]

I think Skye just did a Cheng...

Well her next one was a Lopez, so maybe I was seeing things?

Simone just did her triple double.

 

[Laura722]

Suni, over on the pirouette before her dismount.

CHENG from Skye! Nice!
