Because Jennifer Sey broke her femur in 1985.
That doesn't explain why they're basically spotting gymnasts through every skill these days. For a long time coaches only stood there for tkatchevs that went towards the low bar. Now they're standing there for pak saltos and dismount. It's ridiculous and unnecessary.
 
Pretty much all the established gymnasts are retired or in NCAA, so we've got a group of fresh meat who haven't been to any major competitions (save for Rivera). Especially since many became senior in an Olympic year where none of them were going to break into the top tier.
And frankly, Rivera's one major competition had her with no counting scores for the team and benched for team finals.

This is a pretty rough showing with none of the newer seniors here showing that they're ready to become a big name in the quad, and all the more established ones having never made any major teams. It's not a good start to the quad.
 
I think the new seniors are also the first generation of gymnasts to not have gone through the Marta regime, so we're seeing the results. Better than them being ground up at the Ranch, but yeah, they're not looking as tight or ready.
I think that is exactly right. We are now really starting to see WAG sans Marta. I am not going to add the obvious . . . .
