Squads

 

[Passion]

You've got Drusch on that one but missing Blakely. The 4th rotation has them both.

Squad VT: Roberson, Damelio, Zhou, Milton, Hardie

Sqaud UB: Sumanasekera, Eichman, Pierson, Caylor, Esponda, Sullivan

Squad BB: Buddendeck, Matthews, Blakely, Wong, Rivera, Pease

Squad FX: Stassi, Guy, Rosa, Drusch, Rose, Hang

Named for where they start. Squad VT is kinda screwed they only get 5 people for all four rotations. Squads BB/FX have 5 for two rotations and 6 for two because of Drusch/Blakely doing UB/BB only. Squad UB gets 6 scores for all four.

Are there any news from podium traning?

 

[RedBirdie]

Nothing so far.

For senior women, squad 3 is STACKED (starts on beam) WOGA and Florida.

Squad 1 (vault) is like the island of misfit gymnasts. They're all the only ones from their gym competing. Hardie and Roberson are the notable ones in that group.

Squad 2 (bars) is WCC+ Sullivan.

Squad 4 (floor) has Pacific Reign and others.

Myli Lew has withdrawn, and Tatum Drusch will only do bars and beam.

Junior women will only do 3 events at a time, like Classics.

I am surprised to see Roberson in Squad 1

Kinda excited because there are front runners to win the Senior women session, but definitely not one clear favorite. I feel like 5 or 6 actually have a chance and it's been awhile since it's been that way.

Who are the men's favorites for AA? Asher and Brody I assume...does Donnell do AA?
Also, I know my girl Lavi will kill it in the junior session.

 

[Passion]

Press conference with Pease, Rivera, Roberson, and Blakely.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Odds that those will be the ones going to Worlds?
Hopefully Hang has something to say. Rivera needs to be much better this weekend to make her case.

 

[Passion]

Press conference with Hong, Nedoroscik, Malone, and Richard.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Dang, I forgot about Fred!

 

[Rich]

colt walker looked like he would be on the fringe again. Maybe one of the other pommel horse guys if nedoroscik faulters

Roberson, total sweetheart! She seems like a great teammate to have
