2025 US World Team Trials (start 9/29/25)

[Denn]

This is her point of greatest contact. I feel like it's enough to avoid the penalty, but... It's weird that someone (other than Skinner) would want to vault this way, and she's not getting the repulsion she should be able to get were she pushing and setting here. (The way, for example, that Andrade or Biles does, with Andrade being the best ever...)

I wish Hardie would find her way on the team. I love her gymnastics.

With the floor upgrades, she was really going for it!

 

[RedBirdie]

I'll be very interested to see what events people are asked to competed today, and how they do. Since Caylor is locked in, and barring a disaster, Wong and Roberson are going, there's only one spot available.

If Blakely can hit bars lights out, I think she goes, but just for bars. Caylor and Wong for AA, and Roberson for VT, BB, and FX.

If Blakely is once again struggling, you could take Hang for VT, Caylor for UB, BB, and FX, and Wong and Roberson for AA.

I'd be tempted to take Hardie for FX, except I can't make it work with a team where Caylor, Wong, and Roberson are also going. Unless you sit Caylor, but if she's finally consistently hitting that floor routine, you want her to compete.

It's possible that Wong and Caylor get AA and Roberson gets VT/FX with Sullivan in UB/BB if Blakely doesn't hit. She has the highest UB score day one and also has been solid on beam all year long. Sullivan also scored higher than Hang in the AA.

Taking Hang for VT alone is sort of irrelevant. With Wong and Roberson on the team, Hang is going to get 2 per'd and also I worry about that Lopez being downgraded.

I think if Blakely hits bars she will be named to the team and also get to beam.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

When they name the team, will they also announce the specific events each are doing? Or could that be named later

 

[david]

it does seem most likely that its between hang and blakely for the final spot. Sullivan has an outside shot but more likely that she'll get an alternate spot. Whoever gets named, my best guess is that they're not going to assign whose doing what events/the AA until after podium training. There isn't a whole lot that's separating this group and I'd want to see how they're doing in the workouts leading up to worlds and in podium training.

I don't particularly want to see her heinous Onodi any more than I have to, but Roberson consistently does better on beam than Sullivan.

Dulcy's reaction (and Gabrielle's excitement for Dulcy) is amazing. Second slide has video

 

[RedBirdie]

Any reactions to Roberson's new floor routine? I've not seen it because it's only posted to X and I refuse to use that hellsite, but Reddit doens't like it, and usually they like everything Roberson does. So now I'm really curious as to just how bad it is.

 

[RedBirdie]

Day 2 events!

One event will go at a time, starting with VT (I assume Olympic order from there)

VT: Hang, Roberson, Wong
UB: Blakely, Caylor, Hardie, Rose, Sullivan
BB: Blakely, Hang, Roberson, Sullivan, Wong
FX: Sullivan

I'm surprised Hardie isn't doing floor.

Same. I don't see the point in taking Skye just for bars, as she's not likely to contend. Strikes me as one of those situations where there's no point in half measures. Either take her for high scoring potential and embrace both the risks and potential benefits fully, or require more than 1 hit routine out of 4 at selection time and leave her.

 

[RedBirdie]

Shit, they started early today! Spencer has quick hits

Sullivan legs come apart a few times on UB, but otherwise it was a hit routine, hop on landing

 

[Passion]

The black Leo looks better in action

 

[Passion]

Skye struggling on the low bar

Got her rhythm back and stuck the dismount

 

[Passion]

Hardie UB, she’s off the bars right at the first element

 

[Passion]

Hardie struggles with full pirouette on low bar once she remounts. Rest of the routine is fine, but legs get messy on another pirouette on the high bar. Dismount good, small hop

 

[irichluck21]

Sucks for Hardie but it was basically clear that she was out of contention for the team, same with Rose.

I do think she will be in contention in a team worlds situation because you can use her anywhere, though she needs to upgrade vault.
