2024 Winter Cup

[RedBirdie]

I'll be very curious to see what the scores are. The handful we've been able to get seem a little high.

Love the colors on Kayla’s Leo.

 

[RedBirdie]

DTY from Kayla. Loose knees, otherwise nice

Bit wobbly beam from Trinity... And her wolf turn...not what I would expect from her.

 

[RedBirdie]

Trinity breaking some connections, fighting some wobbles on beam. But she does survive and doesn't fall.

 

[RedBirdie]

Simone Rose crashes 1.5 yurchenko to her back. No block whatsoever

 

[Hatsumomo]

Nice beam from Trinity. A little stiff and wobbly, but good. Simone Rose crashes her 1.5TY

Has Simone Rose committed to an NCAA team yet? She has all the goods to be a huge star.

No, she's too young to commit. She doesn't graduate until 2026.

 

[RedBirdie]

Madray Johnson always looks like she's pushing to the very limit of what she can do. Her gymnastics does not look easy. Even as a junior, it looked the same.

The lack of creativity in Armine's choreography just kills me.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Damn, Kailya Lincoln off beam on leap series

 

[RedBirdie]

The lack of creativity in Armine's choreography just kills me.

The routines have been utterly interchangeable from one gymnast to another for 25 years! Pick any random GAGE gymnast and put them in the floor with the music from another random GAGE gymnast and you'd never notice if it was the "wrong" music.

WE HAVE SCORES!!!!!!! https://myusagym.com/meets/live/89449/session/2W/startList/

Really nice routine from Kailya otherwise. The commentary was all about her floor skills and power, but that beam routine was pretty. I think there was only one skill, the front ariel that had me grumbling about form (bent knees).

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Sam just described a GAGE routine as “impressive routine construction.” Girl…

 

[RedBirdie]

I may have spoke too soon on scores. We have some scores.

 

[Sasha]

How much do y'all reckon those "Team USA Hospitality" tickets cost?

 

[RedBirdie]

I cannot wait for Doug to judge Hezley Rivera's beam. I mean, it's not as outrageous as the score she got at Classics last year, but 8.5 isn't exactly justifiable, either.

The "arena" is dismissal. I have seen high school meets that looked better.
Like, why not just have this meet at a small college arena instead? Would have been cheaper.
