You are correct, I was looking at the scores that didn't have vault rankingsI thought she was top on vault.
I need her to get coaches who can keep her clean while increasing her difficulty. We deserve pretty gymnastics, dammit.Not because she wouldn’t deserve it. I gave 8.3 but I was debating one of the tenths so I was very close to giving 8.4.
She’s so clean.
Yeah, she was the beneficiary of so much luck to make the teams in 2022 and 2023.5th 7th and 4th
3rd AA
She’s perfect alternate material. Always has been.
I just do not see the reasoning why so many Florida athletes train elite there. They’re not equipped to do so.
Being "perfect alternate material" over 3 Olympic Quads for Team USA is certainly not "failing".She's literally the 3rd best gymnast in the country as of tonight. Just 5 tenths out from winning the whole thing. She's not exactly failing lol.
She went from "Pod" to "Cheng" before. Gotta love the code giving a 1.4 point differential to those vaults when there's actually no difference in the shape, just a difference of 1 twist.And looking at her Piked Pod today, there’s no chance.
AA medallist?5th 7th and 4th

Of course it’s not failing, where did I say that?? it’s not reaching potential.She's literally the 3rd best gymnast in the country as of tonight. Just 5 tenths out from winning the whole thing. She's not exactly failing lol.
We have lived with Simone Biles for 12 yearsSomething about a floor routine with a Moors, a Chuso and a DLO doesn’t sit well with me.
That's not correct. There's also an E-score, and piked a Cheng gets you deducted, sometimes very heavily. And a full twist difference is a big deal — worth about 0.8 usually.She went from "Pod" to "Cheng" before. Gotta love the code giving a 1.4 point differential to those vaults when there's actually no difference in the shape, just a difference of 1 twist.
It's far less deducted than other vaults, since there's no downgrade to the D-score. Sloppy Chengs have been getting overscored for far too long, even aside from the piking issue, and it's a huge problem in the code that other vaults get a ridiculous .6 downgrade for being slightly too piked, while the Cheng always keeps its full value.piking a Cheng gets you deducted, sometimes very heavily
I really think she was capable of more! Certainly not an event specialist, but the quality of her work in 2021 really was outstanding, but unfortunately held back by GAGE being GAGE. She had the same lightness in her work that Gabby Douglas had circa London. Her gymnastics has become so much more pedestrian since she has gone to college and worked exclusively with the UF coaches.To be fair I think all coaching teams have tried to see what Wong might be able to do, but solid and sadly backup AAer is the role her kind of gymnastics in this era has relegated her to. She was easily going to Tokyo in the McCallum spot if not for her beam meltdown, but the legacy of the McCallum spot (I love her and am so glad a form a technique girl won the spot over Skinner) is one of a kind of randomness, lots of athletes could have easily fit that role. But that was Wong's spot to lose and she lost it.
2024 as well after Shilese, Skye, and Kayla went down. Instead, a virtually untested 16-year-old walked on to get an Olympic gold medal with none of her QF scores contributing and being benched for TFs.To be fair I think all coaching teams have tried to see what Wong might be able to do, but solid and sadly backup AAer is the role her kind of gymnastics in this era has relegated her to.

While I’m sure she’ll end up at Florida with all the other elites, I would love to see Pease go to Oklahoma and not defer until 2028 just to see what an OU coached elite would look like. If anyone knows how to work the code it’s KJ Kindler.What I wouldn't give though to see what KJ Kindler could do with an elite athlete.
I’m pretty sure KJ doesn’t allow her athletes to pursue NCAA and elite simultaneously.While I’m sure she’ll end up at Florida with all the other elites, I would love to see Pease go to Oklahoma and not defer until 2028 just to see what an OU coached elite would look like.

Maybe Stassi will try to do college and elite at the same time? That would be interesting.
