[RedBirdie]

After 2

Blakely – 28.850
Chiles – 28.650
DiCello – 28.600
Carey – 28.100

Skye isn't just coming for the UB/BB spot, she's coming for an AA spot. As long as she doesn't biff floor and repeats her Cheng from warm ups....

 

[RedBirdie]

Oh no, not the Macarena again!

 

[crdubb17]

Looks like Kaliya Lincoln withdrew. Shit.

What??

 

[Passion]

Peacock says: Lincoln hurt her foot during training on VT, tried to compete through it but is withdrawing from the rest of the competition. Will submit a petition to go to Trials.

 

[cats]

I’ve had about enough sideline injury reports. Everyone protect your ligaments!

 

[RedBirdie]

Lincoln out with an ankle injury, and sounds like Trinity isn't going to try bars and beam, either.

 

[Sasha]

Oh, huge bummer for Lincoln.

 

[Doug1233]

all my favs are dropping out. shilese, gabby, kaliya, TRINITY

wtf is happening

 

[Sasha]

Obviously the universe has it in for you, Doug.

 

[Doug1233]

they should let trinity petition to trials and do a kip cast on bars like Danusia.

she needs to compete at olympic trials

 

[Doug1233]

Skye's dismount is at least .6 no?

I think I took 5 yeah

 

[crdubb17]

Ok I’m literally pissed.

But this is really shocking how many black women are represented in US elite gymnastics. 5 black women have dropped out (add Konnor) and there could still be an all black podium. We’ve come a long way from Dominique and Tasha.

 

[Passion]

Every fall is an uncharacteristic fall to Sam Peszek.

 

[Sasha]

A lot of feet in Jade's UB. Solid though.

 

[RedBirdie]

Jade swinging bars like she is personally offended by the event.

 

[Doug1233]

jade bars I have 7.8 that last pirouette killed her

 

[QuietColours]

I think the bars she showed at Classics should at least have them seriously considering a petition from her. It might depend more on how other people are looking and how many they plan on taking, though

 

[Laura722]

Good job, Suni.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Ok I’m literally pissed.

And Betty, Diane, and Annia. But yes, up until recently, you only had a couple of Black gymnasts per quad.
