2024 US Olympic Trials WAG Day 1 (6/28)

[ucrgirl]

Peacock switched me to track without showing final standings and one last Simone shot and maybe a few more athletes holding their knees and crying.

 

[KathySantoni]

I am very solid on my conviction that this should be the team

Shilese is injured, like needs to avoid hard landings for a month injured. Not sure what that will do to her routines.

 

[Laura722]

I think Biles, Chiles, Lee, Carey, and one more. Is Shilese okay?

If not, I'd go with Lincoln for the last spot.

 

[JaJa]

I'd love for Shi to be healthy enough. I'm not convinced about taking an athlete too injured to compete more than one event.

I know I know I know. But damn.

 

[GoldyGopher]

top 4 plus shilese

If the team is Simone, Suni, Jordan, and Jade, I think you're looking for a beamer to round it out

Top 4 plus Shilese unless she can't compete. Then it's where you want backup depending on how beam goes night 2. If Suni, Simone, and Jordan hit their normal beam, the need for a beam score is less which makes it even more open....

 

[lovegymnasts]

top 4 plus shilese

Shilese is a stiff wind away from breaking

 

[makam]

If the team is Simone, Suni, Jordan, and Jade, I think you're looking for a beamer to round it out

...I don't think they have one. At least not one consistent enough to bet on.

 

[tempest]

Oo did they change to exclude arabians? I support that. The rule needs to be based on your direction of takeoff imo.

I think any Arabian skill will not fulfill the front salto requirement in the next code

 

[Jmanda86]

The Peacock app keeps booting me out. I wonder if it's a bandwidth issue. Hopefully not a sign of things to come during the Olympics...

I keep having the same issue.

 

[Laura722]

...I don't think they have one. At least not one consistent enough to bet on.

As I was saying earlier.

 

[RedBirdie]

If you need a beamer outside the top 4 AAers, you're looking at Roberson (please no), Tiana (so inconsistent), and Hezley.

 

[tsarinajen]

Do they have to name the team Sunday?

If they do, and Shilese can only do bars… that’s a tough call. Is Chellsie on the selection committee?

 

[glamafonic]

Wow. All four Tokyo Olympians topping the standings.

Is Chellsie on the selection committee?

No. But Alicia is apparently allowed to text her during the decision to consult.

 

[starfish]

I think the fifth spot is wide open again... just with a completely different set of competitors.

Just look at who’s in fifth - if Shilese isn’t healthy enough and they decide to just take them in the order they finish….

 

[GoldyGopher]

If you need a beamer outside the top 4 AAers, you're looking at Roberson (please no), Tiana (so inconsistent), and Hezley.

that's the issue and I wonder if that's where Wong might slide in if she can hit everything Sunday (big if). She is usually consistent but not great on any one event.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Wow. All four Tokyo Olympians topping the standings.

Experience...

 

[cats]

Isn't there a tendon in the knee that can make a nasty sounding snap if it shifts over bone?

I don’t know a thing about this but how are people hearing tendon noises over a vault landing while in a loud arena? I get it if a microphone picks something up on a broadcast.

 

[Jmanda86]

I am very solid on my conviction that this should be the team

I’m pretty solid on my conviction that she tore her acl during that lock legged vault landing.

 

[RedBirdie]

Do they have to name the team Sunday?

If they do, and Shilese can only do bars… that’s a tough call. Is Chellsie on the selection committee?

Yes, the team must be named Sunday.

 

[RedBirdie]

I need Doug to score these routines ASAP.
