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

[MaryClare]

This is the flip side, if you’ll pardon the pun, of there not being favourites as was in the past. More legitimate chances, but it leads to everyone throwing everything at it

 

[KorbutFan]

Part of me will be relieved when the Games are over.

 

[rlayt]

My for Shilese.

 

[MaryClare]

You know what . . . .we will not end up with the Team any of us projected, and lots of hearts will be broken . . . .but we will still have a great team and go to Paris and win a LOT of hardware

The only way to look at these tragically timed injuries is that someone else’s Olympic dream is going to come true.

But it does leave a big hole on bars

 

[Indy]

I came here to make a snarky comment about the leos but after Shi nothing is funny now…

 

[RedBirdie]

In boring administrative stuff, both Skye and Shilese were in group A, so the groups are quite unbalanced now.

 

[QuietColours]

Stock up for Jordan, Kayla, and Hezly I guess

 

[RedBirdie]

Kayla DiCello is almost certainly going to Paris now

 

[irichluck21]

The chances of the team being made up of 4 Olympians and 1 Olympic alternate skyrocketed.

so that makes kayla and jordan's stock go up

Simone, Jordan, Suni isn't a bad lineup. I don't think. I just wish Kayla was more consistent at bars.

 

[Onyxrose81]

Everything is terrible.

Good luck and stay safe to all the other competitors.

 

[irichluck21]

So Jordan needs to be solid and nail bars, since she will likely be the 3rd up in team finals on that event. 5th is likely Kayla or Leanne. Might come down to Leanne's Cheng.

 

[cats]

I am neutral on Kayla’s gymnastics but I have been thinking that it would be gutting to be an alternate for two Olympics in a row plus 2023 worlds.

but would leanne's cheng outscore kayla's dty

 

[Passion]

I've had DiCello on my team since Winter Cup.

I think if Leanne goes clean she’s in. A cheng, useable on bars and decent AA back up

 

[makam]

Shi just walked out for intros!

I was saying this exact thing to my husband last night. The depth is the curse. In the past when there was only a handful at the top, you could afford to be 70% ready by Classics, 80% at Nationals, 90% at Trials, then 100% at the Games. This year if you weren't near 100% by Nationals you risked not making Trials.

USAG just tweeted Shi is competing!!!!
