2025 World Championships: Women’s Qualifications Day 1 October 20/ Day 2 October 21

[Passion]

I think Bullock is going to be the first time Capital Gymnastics produces a top contender, so I can't say what their track record is.

They had Ashley Postell and Katie Heenan.

[Hatsumomo]

They had Ashley Postell and Katie Heenan.

Ah right. I forgot they trained there. Quite the time gap though.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Yay Tanskanen made AA!

 

[david]

So am I reading this rightly that Nemour would be 1st AA without the fall? Also, good on Angelina to perform this well.

Yes, she would have been first AA without the beam fall. And, if she had also stood up her vault, she would be way out front in the AA standings.

 

[Kara]

Apparently these worlds couldn't even get the numbers made right.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Caylor might have completely justified her selection and elevated herself to the a-squad, but this is absolutely an five-alarm fire for USAG WAG.

Right now the team is reliant on this squad, 2 gymnasts coached by Valeri, and Hang who is wildly inconsistent and will probably end up getting coached by the Florida coaches as well. The only way they are going to be able to stack up China, Italy, and Russia (if they are allowed to enter a full team at one point), is if Chiles, Carey, and Jones come back. I have no idea who will coach Chiles, Carey is kind of ambivalent about a comeback, and Jones, while exceptionally coached and managed, doesn’t have a good track record of injuries.

There’s some promise in the juniors and some of the current b-squad, but Crain is coached by the Fongs. Things are not looking good.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Literally just started a thread on who they need back. It's looking bleak

 

[RedBirdie]

Ah right. I forgot they trained there. Quite the time gap though.

and as far as I know, Tatiana Perkaia isn't coaching too much. She's definitely not been on the floor at elite meets.

Don’t forget that the last time there was a post-Olympic worlds like this was 2017, and that team was led by Ragan Smith. The 2013 worlds team featured Brenna Dowell. It always looks bleak the year behind an Olympics.

(2022 was an exception because it was only 2 years away from the next Olympic Games)

 

[RedBirdie]

2013 looked great. Simone, McKayla, Kayla.

2017 obviously less so, but that looked bleak for gymnastics, period.

 

[Doug1233]

She has a similar build, but her landings are just so much worse than Raisman or Skinner. Those two, I worried about knees. Roberson lands so short, and on vault it's short as she's twisting into the ground. That's a recipe for ankles exploding.

Exhibit A:

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Exhibit A:

View attachment 12979

Genuinely horrifying.

 

[RedBirdie]

Even when she's healthy, her DTY isn't much better. Her gymnastics is just so chucked and bad.

 

[Passion]

Apparently these worlds couldn't even get the numbers made right.

At least they weren’t flying off left and right like at Pan Ams.

Yes, but Smith and Hurd were rounded AA gymnasts with highly competitive scores, plus there were several junior prospects coming up behind them. Those junior prospects aren’t there now. Not in quality nor in quantity.

Thanks for this.

I’m not surprised Petisco had the highest floor E. She basically stuck everything. I was worried she would knock Dulcy out.

As a side note - judging a few of these beams: E panel was going HARD.

 

[cats]

Hang might be inconsistent but I have a really hard time holding that against her when we just had two days of Worlds qualifications produce, what, two hit AA programs? One being done by a post-NCAA athlete who didn’t really attempt elite routines?

Who is consistent? Is that a thing in the current gym world?

 

[Doug1233]

Aiko is doing too much face on FX. It’s annoying

... and everyone forgets that there was a World Championships in 2021
