What difference does that make?

Chiles puts up a higher score.

The Roberson hate here is getting really old, grow the F up! She is a sweet person and works her ass of as well.. She is who she is, her gymnastics is what it is. You can like it or not but all the comments here are so freaking personal it is disgusting

 

[MaryClare]

Chiles puts up a higher score.

Domestically yes. Terrible record internationally

Literally none of the comments are “freaking personal”. I’m sure she does work very hard, and she does seem a really nice kid. Her gymnastics is horrendous

Oh, and just to check. Are you attempting to call people out for “hate” whilst telling them to grow the f*ck up? Yeah, you definitely come across as the better, more mature person here…

The only ones going off the rails here are the ones claiming all this personal hate towards Roberson. From what I've seen, it hasn't been personal at all and directly aimed at her gymnastics. The most personal remarks were directed at the Landis for their ineptitude on her skillset and letting her chuck skills that already resulted in a disastrous injury.

 

[MaryClare]

I want her scores to hold up. I'm just concerned there is the potential that the international judges will be much harsher on her floor.

I’d be surprised if Jordan’s scores held up at all, save for vault perhaps.

 

[Sasha]

Did USAG announce any non-travelling alternates, or just the two travelling?

 

[RedBirdie]

Mary Clare, I think Jordan's bars score might mostly hold up. Can't take artistry deductions on bars.

Sasha, USAG announced a little bit ago that Tiana and Kaliya are the non-traveling replacements

 

[SBaity]

and for a minute there I thought she was going to be WAY out! It looked like she adjusted midair.

SAME! From the camera angle I thought she was out by a body length, but then it was just the step out. She did so great.

 

[MaryClare]

Will there be an announcement regarding coaches? I wonder if it might be smarter to give head coach to Valeri, whose athlete is going to play a more minor role. That way Laurent can totally focus on Simone.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I’d be surprised if Jordan’s scores held up at all, save for vault perhaps.

Suni’s floor is going to 100% outscore Jordan’s in Paris.

 

[irichluck21]

Cecile will have to be one of the coaches, since they need a female coach on the floor. I would honestly make her the head coach.
Valeri, Laurent, Jess, and Brian can swap in and out as need.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

What sort of body type has flexed feet? Of course she could work on it. I don’t find her feet an issue on other events, only bars

Aimee actually did wonders improving Simone’s foot form on bars in the Rio quad. They regressed like crazy under Laurent. She has to be losing at least half a point in deductions now. It’s even more glaring in person,

 

[QuietColours]

What are the administrative responsibilities for head coach? Do they have to be the one on top of paperwork, appeals, injury withdrawals, etc?

Each athlete gets one accredited coach. I mean it’s possible that Anna Liukin goes for Hezly but I doubt it. Cecile will presumably be accredited as Jordan’s coach as she was in Tokyo. I would love for Cecile to be head coach. Imagine having co-coached 2 Olympians, 2 replacement athletes, bagged probably the highest paying salary in college gymnastics, head coach of presumably a gold medal winning team, and being mom to an Olympic athlete. In 6 months

 

[MaryClare]

What are the administrative responsibilities for head coach? Do they have to be the one on top of paperwork, appeals, injury withdrawals, etc?

Basically yes. They are also the one responsible for taking any last minute decisions on the floor

 

[Caligym]

I know they each get to bring a coach, but aren’t only 2 coaches allowed on floor for team final, one must be female?

Oh, and just to check. Are you attempting to call people out for “hate” whilst telling them to grow the f*ck up? Yeah, you definitely come across as the better, more mature person here…

Yes I do, a few members here are a bunch of adults telling over and over that they get nightmares from thinking about Roberson as an Olympian, very reddit like, I did not expect that here…
And Yes, I am the more mature, not dishing a person because I do not like her gymnastics. Had she made the main team I would have been very happy for her, not having nightmares.
But whatever come up with the smart comments, I said what I wanted to say I gave my opinion, you can agree with it or not
