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

[Jmanda86]

We were so close to avoiding it, but I think we're going to have to buy some Listerine and say "Joscelyn Roberson, Olympian."

Ugh. I hope not. The thing is, she basically adds nothing, correct? I’d have to go look at individual event scores. A few tenths on vault I guess. Same as what Kaliya would add on floor. They’re better off competing 4 and bringing whoever is the most consistent through nationals and trials as a back up. No one is bringing enough from the first four really.

I just want to express gratitude to those who run this board and to all who contributed to the thread tonight. It's been a hard period for me personally, but joining the chat tonight was such a fun and needed escape. Thank you

This is sweet. Hoping things get easier for you soon.

I do think Roberson should be considered for alternate. Those are important spots and would need someone with decent difficulty and consistency. Wong too.

I'd personally go with Hezly or Kaylia. With the top four, the fifth person is basically just...there. Maybe a leadoff vault. Hezly could potentially be put in for UB in TFs.

Using just trials scores only, she’d go for beam — she was 3rd tonight. And Roberson and Jordan scored the same on vault. That’s taking the top 5 straight up.

If the team is the top 4 AA, the only event Roberson adds tenths in a TF situation is beam. She adds nothing on vault or floor. And while I'd be okay with putting Jade up on bars if disaster strikes and one of Jade or Joscelyn needs to do bars, I'd much rather the 5th team member be someone who can slot in on bars and beam.

 

[PeakePups]

Nobody will like this, but the mathematically best team based on tonight's scores only is:

Simone (VT, UB, BB, FX)
Jones (UB)
Lee (UB, BB)
Carey (VT, FX)
Roberson (VT, BB, FX)

Yes Chiles out scored Roberson on FX, but they tied on vault and Roberson scored higher on beam. Neither would be in the top 3 for bars. Obviously Chiles is logically the better option of the 2, but solely based on tonight's numbers, Roberson is the better pick (kills me to even type that).

 

[RedBirdie]

Anyone come across the second vault scores yet?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

The more I think about it, the more I lean toward Hezly, but it depends on Sunday.

And we will see you Sunday night

 

[irichluck21]

I don't see Chiles who is currently 2nd AA being bumped out. If Jones gets further injured in Paris? Who does bars in team finals? Carey or Roberson? YIKES

If Jones is out, how does that change the math?

Same here. I fear the selection committee will go with Roberson.

This is why I'm leaning toward Hezly.

You’re right. Nobody likes this.

DELETE THIS

 

[irichluck21]

If Jordan, Suni, Simone do AA in Paris.
Jade does VT/FX, you need a UB/BB and that is Hezly right now.
If they decide to limit Suni to UB/BB, then it is opened up, in which case likely Roberson or Wong. Wong offers the better UB/BB combo in TQ.

Spencer stated that the highest scoring team is:
Shi, Jordan, Suni, Jade, Simone

if its not Shi, the next highest scoring team is Tiana, Jordan, Suni, Jade, Simone
