2024 US Nationals WAG Session 1, Day 1

[Seyonne]

I was looking forward to seeing Shilese the most. I hope whatever is wrong with her shoulder is resolved by Paris.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I don’t want to excuse his behavior at all or give him some kind of pass, but he at least modified his coaching techniques in the aftermath.

Valeri is clearly unable to learn from past mistakes.

I keep saying that Valeri's success was his daughter. WOGA's reputation was built off of Evgeny Marchenko's back.

 

[RedBirdie]

Ouch, Tyler Turner looks like she had a bad go on beam. E score in the 6s.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Have they shown any of Tyler Turners routines? I am wondering which WOGA coaching group she has joined.

We saw a stuck FTY from her and that's about it.

 

[MaryClare]

I keep saying that Valeri's only success was his daughter. WOGA's reputation was built off of Evgeny Marchenko's back.

Even now, Marchenko is the one with a world medalist and Olympic team contender

 

[RedBirdie]

I keep saying that Valeri's success was his daughter. WOGA's reputation was built off of Evgeny Marchenko's back.

And the utter determination of Rebecca Bross to compete on broken bones.

 

[rlayt]

And Carly didn’t leave unscathed either. Her back wasn’t holding up.

 

[Passion]

I was looking forward to seeing Shilese the most. I hope whatever is wrong with her shoulder is resolved by Paris.

She's had a torn labrum for over a year, they've been putting off surgery to rehab it with exercise.

 

[RedBirdie]

Have they shown any of Tyler Turners routines? I am wondering which WOGA coaching group she has joined.

She's in the Marchenko group in Frisco, with Skye and Kaliya.

 

[blake]

Chloe Cho is going to be great at Illinois.

 

[RedBirdie]

CaMarah has scratched.

 

[RedBirdie]

Seniors, after 3:
1. Nicole Desmond, 38.95
2. Brooke Pierson, 38.85
3. Malea Milton, 38.40
4. Tatum Drusch, 38.20
5. Kelise Woolford, 37.80

 

[Hatsumomo]

CaMarah has scratched.

For the best really. There's nothing in it for her to compete injured. She probably wasn't making it to Trials given that she was put in the first session and no competitions are happening for seniors until the winter.

 

[RedBirdie]

Really, the Macarena? Who is in charge of the music choices?

 

[MaryClare]

Really, the Macarena? Who is in charge of the music choices?

All the kids are into 90s stuff these days

 

[Hatsumomo]

Really, the Macarena? Who is in charge of the music choices?

Segued right into the Bee Gees

 

[RedBirdie]

Juniors after 3:
1. Claire Pease, 40.40
2. Gabrielle Hardy, 39.70
3. Lavi Crain, 39.00
4. Maliha Tressel, 38.60
5. Camie Westerman, 38.20

Bars was ok, I feel like there were lot of errors. Beam was wobbly everywhere and she crumbled on the dismount.

 

[makam]

Norah Christian also did a bars set at classics that was well outside her ability. I don't know what her coaches are thinking to have her do skills she is clearly not ready for in front of everyone that matters. It isn't Martha days where everything is held against you forever, but it isn't a good look still.

 

[makam]

The top 3 juniors are beating the seniors.
