2025 US Classic

[RedBirdie]

Ashlee Sullivan did not come to play. Had no idea what to expect, but daaaaamn. She came to win.

 

[Passion]

Who is she with?

Her husband.

 

[Hatsumomo]

So far, Myli Lew is the only one who has scored a 14 between the first session and now.

 

[RedBirdie]

I would have thought the judges would have been kinder to Roberson based on her resume. 7.25 E with no wobbles and a stuck dismount.

Those leaps are just asking to be hammered

 

[JaJa]

Oh I love the color of Sullivan's leo.

Hernandez: If a gymnast lands and you feel like you could say bam then that means it's a really good landing!

I would say “lame “ but I am not given to understatement

She heard people counting her out this spring and is making it clear she does want one of those Worlds spots, thank you very much.

 

[Hatsumomo]

If Roberson is getting hammered domestically, that doesn't bode well for a Worlds pen

 

[QuietColours]

Is the hand on the stomach and deep breath thing something they're specifically teaching at camps these days? I remember it being a bit of a big deal that it was Laurie's ritual in Rio, and I don't really remember other athletes doing it then. It seems like every other athlete is doing it this year.

I think Maggie Nichols did the same thing.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Laurie is still terrible and sounds like she should be commentating to preschoolers. I am shocked at how many either simple or terrible bar dismounts we have seen. Hopefully just early season stamina, but

[JaJa]

I think Maggie Nichols did the same thing.

I only remember Laurie doing it. But I can see where it would be grounding and just a good nerve control technique

 

[QuietColours]

They better replay Wong's bars.

Bizarrely, I've seen it a whole bunch of time watching baseball this season.

 

[QuietColours]

And Hezly's off

 

[Hatsumomo]

Hezly off on her flight series on BB. What happened to that improved consistency last year leading up to Trials?

 

[RedBirdie]

Hezley was in the right place at the right time last summer. I feel like she's never gonna come close to that again.

 

[QuietColours]

And another terrifying dismount from Rivera, yikes

 

[Passion]

Peszek seemed like she already knew Rivera wasn't going to hit that dismount.

 

[QuietColours]

Hezley was in the right place at the right time last summer. I feel like she's never gonna come close to that again.

I know it's Classics, but she really feels like she had her career peak at Trials
