2024 US Olympic Trials WAG Day 2 (6/30)

[arabiandoublefront]

Sam's got a point - the younger athletes have been holding up better than the veterans tonight.

It used to be seen as a good thing. I think there's a way of balancing teams so that older and younger athletes are valued. I don't want to see the gymnastics fandom become like the figure skating one. LIke in the figure skating fandom, if you're not an 18 year old skater, you're seen as a blight on the sport. It sickens me.

 

[Passion]

Roberson breaks 14 on beam! 14.050

 

[RedBirdie]

14.05 for Joscelyn, 7.95 e score. I think you all can guess my feelings on that.

 

[xxParkerxx]

Roberson's D score on beam is carrying her

 

[QuietColours]

If we get Roberson instead of Rivera...

 

[Laura722]

Roberson leads Rivera by .100. Do you think they'll go rank order?

 

[jezmerallia]

Roberson refuses to go away

Which would be less annoying if she also had the decency to improve.

 

[xxParkerxx]

If we get Roberson instead of Rivera...

Don't even... this WILL NOT HAPPEN

 

[Sasha]

If we get Roberson instead of Rivera...

I'd be surprised.

 

[Passion]

Roberson and Rivera are .1 apart in the AA.

 

[jezmerallia]

I wonder who choreographed Simone Rose's routine? It's miles better than everyone else.

Miss Val!

 

[MaryClare]

Roberson and Rivera are .1 apart in the AA.

I don’t think that really matters. They need Rivera for bars

 

[irichluck21]

Hezly is 5th, she beat Simone on bars tonight.

Alternates

Traveling: Wong, Roberson
Non: Lincoln, Sumanasekera

 

[cats]

Josc and Hezly tied for 1st and Tiana is 3rd for combined beam here. Hezly has both the best and worst individual scores.

 

[Passion]

Sumanasekera is still behind Wong AA, and now in 3rd on BB.

 

[xxParkerxx]

Miss Val!

That would explain it

 

[xxParkerxx]

Josc and Hezly tied for 1st and Tiana is 3rd for combined beam here. Hezly has both the best and worst individual scores.

Inconsistent?

 

[RedBirdie]

Roberson's D score on beam is carrying her

It's not just the D score. 7.95 e score! The judges felt she was only two tenths worse than Leanne and Tiana.

 

[QuietColours]

Jordan giving everyone a heart attack with that mount again.

 

[irichluck21]

Roberson leads Rivera by .100. Do you think they'll go rank order?

No.
Hezly is 4th on bars and beat Simone tonight
