2024 US Olympic Trials MAG Day 2 (6/29)

[irichluck21]

Top 5 could get it done. I personally wouldn't take Stephen, great guy, but one event and he didn't go all out like he really needed to, he played it safe when everyone else went all out.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

It would be a riot if the MAG side took the top 5 AA after all this lmao. They absolutely could.

Or they'll take Nedoroscik.

ETA: Or Khoi, damn I forgot about him.

I mean, I wouldn't hate it if they took the top 5, but I wonder if that makes me a hypocrite because I wasn't saying the same thing after the women yesterday.

If you only look at Trials
Juda
FX 2nd
PH: 3rd (1st of the AAers)
VT: 4th
HB: 5th

 

[irichluck21]

Richard, Malone, Juda, Hong, Nedoroscik is the highest scoring team according to NBC.

Well my Irish relatives ate making tsking noises.

The commentators are sure acting like their projected team is a sure thing.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

99% sure the the team is Fred, Brody, Paul, Asher, and Stephen.

The commentators are sure acting like their projected team is a sure thing.

Throwback to when Tim assumed Arthur Zanetti would come in second at the 2012 Olympics rings finals, then was baffled when the score came in.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Regarding Stephen, I'm just so scared this is going to go wrong like 2022 Worlds again. I don't trust him in team finals farther than I can throw a boulder. But, if he's on the team it is what it is.

 

[irichluck21]

I think it is down whether to take Khoi or Stephen. One of them will be alternate.
Shane for sure an alternate.

Not sure who else for alternate.
Fuzzy did a great job to place 6th but no stand out events. Moldauer, Bock, Whittenburg

I rather take Khoi, if the sacrifice is Shane. I think Khoi is a gamer and a team player.

I think I have a crush on Asher Hong's dad lol. He is cute.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Good, John admitted they don't know for sure.

 

[rlayt]

He’s a nice guy too. Asher’s dad.

I don't get why some of you have continually ignored the MAG selection process. There is a set scoring criteria that automatically decides the team if the criteria is met, and it was. The team is decided, 100%. They are only deciding alternates right now.

I'm in denial because I don't like one-event gymnasts period. Only way to deal. Even Alexander Artemev competed all-around in qualifications in 2008. He was 19th and made finals.

 

[MaryClare]

Paddy. Patty is for gurlz!

Crowd loving Shane's performance.

In Ireland, Paddy, Patty and Patsy are all gender neutral nicknames for Patrick/Padraig and Patricia

 

[irichluck21]

Because of the risk of taking a one eventer who was mediocre/watered down both days of Trials.

And who was underwhelming in 2022 in the exact same team scenario.

 

[tempest]

But even watering down, Stephen was first
