2024 Winter Cup

Pretty Bhardwaj from Lexi Zeiss. Lol, Chelsie saying "Ope, stay up!" as Zeiss took a stumble back on her dismount.

Nice FTY from Matthews.

Yeah, but I can't help thinking that UCLA hardly needs another FTY...

 

[RedBirdie]

Jayla Hang DTY. Barely gets around and steps off the mat.

Jayla Hang steps off the mat landing from her DTY

 

[RedBirdie]

Lot of tape on Skye's left leg. Not quite Tatiana Lysenko 1992, but wonder what's going on there.

 

[QuietColours]

That's one hit beam for Skye

 

[Sasha]

That DTY was slick.

 

[RedBirdie]

Wow DTY from Dulcy Caylor.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Skye on beam - a little tentative, some wobbles and form breaks, nice tucked full

Love her beam, but I feel like she'll need to pull a Jordan Chiles 2021 to be in contention for Paris at this point.

I’m really curious as to how she will contribute to UCLA given their track record of gymnasts arriving and losing all of their most difficult skills.

Chellsie can't help but coach through commentating.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Very low double pike dismount of beam for Rivera

At a minimum, she'll contribute a very memorable floor routine. And I'm looking forward to that.

Beyond that I'm not sure.

 

[QuietColours]

That's how you rebound out of a DLO!

 

[RedBirdie]

CaMarah Williams on floor! What gorgeous form and technique.

 

[RedBirdie]

Zoey Molomo is soooooo tall. (But those feet, ugh)

 

[RedBirdie]

Fatta fall on her beam dismount, limping off.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

At a minimum, she'll contribute a very memorable floor routine. And I'm looking forward to that.

Beyond that I'm not sure.

Hopefully she will still be able to pull out a consistent double salto and a front full + lay. I just have never had confidence in their coaching staff on VT/FX skills.

Love her beam, but I feel like she'll need to pull a Jordan Chiles 2021 to be in contention for Paris at this point.

Especially with veterans returning. With Simone and Shilese being all but locked up, depending on how Gabby, Trinity, Jade, Leanne, and Suni look, and with Kayla hitting the ground running, Skye would be alternate at best.
