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

[Ginger]

Why would anyone want Roberson on this team over Rivera?

Because of Rivera’s father.

 

[JaJa]

I hate Sam so much. Ugh. She just spouts absolute rubbish

me too.

 

[Ginger]

Looks like Suni’s parents are not even there, just her sisters. Weird.

 

[RedBirdie]

Sam's outfit tonight looks like one of the uniforms of a private school near me.

 

[GoldyGopher]

So how tall is Zoey Molomo?

 

[Passion]

So if Jordan and Simone are on the team, and Roberson is travelling alternate staying separate from the team.. Which coach is going with Roberson?

 

[jezmerallia]

I hate Sam so much. Ugh. She just spouts absolute rubbish

I don't know if it's her. She was criticized for her coverage during NCAA competitions and essentially said she is given a narrative she has to portray. KJC said she was forced to leave for not wanting to toe the company line.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Just realized NBC was denied all those parents-in-the-Olympic-stands shots during Tokyo. They're trying to make up for it now. And there will be so much parental coverage in Paris. (Barf)

This is why I'm so grateful that I'm taking the opportunity to go this year. I can't stand what the main NBC coverage has turned into.

 

[brg09]

me too.

I hope she's not stupid enough to actually believe any of that stuff that she says. But I never really got genius vibes from Sam so maybe..

I get the whole parent thing is a broadcast angle but someone needs to tell NBC that Gina Chiles is not someone they want to be giving screen time to.

Almost 10% of U.S. children have a parent who has been incarcerated. I'm so happy that some child is looking at Jordan and Gina Chiles tonight and seeing triumph and hope.

 

[MaryClare]

Speaking of.....can Gina travel to France, or does her felon status prevent that?

If she served jail time she won’t be able to as a general tourist.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Looks like Suni’s parents are not even there, just her sisters. Weird.

I've heard that there's been conflict with Suni and her parents.

 

[brg09]

Looks like Suni’s parents are not even there, just her sisters. Weird.

I think there was some sort of falling out between them. Good for her sisters for being there for her though.

 

[MaryClare]

Almost 10% of U.S. children have a parent who has been incarcerated. I'm so happy that some child is looking at Jordan and Gina Chiles tonight and seeing triumph and hope.

And what about her victims watching that?

 

[Sasha]

Wasn't the falling out like two years ago? Pretty sad if it's still ongoing.

 

[jezmerallia]

She made a mistake and paid her debt to society. Has she done anything negative besides that? I don't know why everyone seems to think going to jail has to become someone's entire identity.

 

[JaJa]

Speaking of.....can Gina travel to France, or does her felon status prevent that?

It shouldn't. No. There are countries where it would be an issue but France is not one of them.

 

[MaryClare]

She didn’t “make a mistake”, she made a choice.

 

[starfish]

I wonder if she will be able to "visit" her husband while there. I feel like that's important for mental health

Well, I was questioning whether the Olympic Village allowed such "visits". But then, I remembered those articles about the massive supply of umm, a specific item at the Olympics, so well...

 

[RedBirdie]

Am I the only person frantically clicking refresh to see if the full results with second vault scores have posted yet?

And what is taking so long? The team is so obvious!
