2024 US Nationals WAG Session 2, Day 1

[makam]

Jade's switch half is almost bearable. And her double pike dismout has really improved.

 

[Sasha]

Welp, tonight clarified nothing for me. I still have no idea who will take spots 3-5; the main contenders just shuffled themselves around a bit.

 

[Doug1233]

jade beam I have 7.8 (5)

jade has really nice leg form in her front aerial and LOSO.

 

[Sasha]

Roberson's tumbling is much less painful looking tonight than at Classic.

 

[makam]

Roberson being kinder to her ankles and knees than at classics. Major improvement there. I wasn't worried she was going to die on every pass.

 

[RAFIKI]

Well that wasn't anywhere near as hard on the ankles as classics. I do like the way Roberson enters her wolf position.

 

[Denn]

It looks like Biles will win all 4 events tonight.

 

[RedBirdie]

The improvement Jade made on bars and beam from her first elite season to now is just mind boggling.

 

[Doug1233]

wong beam 7.8 (2)

Yeah, I really don't know how they're going to choose a team this time around. I don't envy the selection committee.

 

[makam]

If Simone isn't interested in another national title, they should just tell her she can bow out now, she's shown enough, she's on the Olympic team, she can just compete when and what she is comfortable competing. The rest of the time, she should live in bubble wrap.

 

[Denn]

Hezly Rivera — 6th place.

Didn't see that coming.

 

[QuietColours]

Lee made her goal of being in the top 5 all around for tonight at least. Agreed that the three spots are going to be really hard. Skye's the only one who really set herself apart today. Kayla also had a great day, but it was less distinctive.

Lee, Wong, Rivera, Chiles, and Carey all in the 55s.

 

[makam]

I vaguely recognize Caylor's music but can't place it (I am horrid at music identification) But I like it.

The end was "Hey Jude"

 

[Doug1233]

so the entire nationals podium always makes the US team…

 

[Doug1233]

why is Jade so low? did she fall?

 

[RedBirdie]

Day 2 will be VERY interesting to see who in the top group can handle the pressure and who crumbles.

 

[Sasha]

why is Jade so low? did she fall?

No. She may have biffed a leap on floor but that was the biggest error I saw.

 

[makam]

why is Jade so low? did she fall?

No, she just didn't make as much points on her 2 key events as she usually does.
