What's wrong with Skye being listed as WOGA and Josc as WCC?

Because those aren't the teams they're affiliated with, according to USAG's own national team athlete bios.

As @RedBirdie said, plus while Blakely at least still occasionally works with her former WOGA coaches, Roberson never trained under Kiens AFAIK.

Yeah, we still see Skye at WOGA. He coaches are still there. Its different with Joscelyn.

According to Anna Kalmykova’s social media the floor is very hard

I hope that shade of green is just for MAG and never makes it on a Leo.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles colors. Or camouflage. Not attractive.

AUS WAG leotards in 2025 have been by Sylvia P and haven’t used that particular green colour & colour combo that the MAG are wearing in the photo above.

I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any new ones or if it's the ones Kate wore at Uni Games.

Was Ruby Pass at training today? She wasn’t in the photo with Kate and Breanna

I don't love the vivid yellow training leo as much as I liked the range that was put together for the Olympics. I feel like it's a colour that looks amazing on some people (like Ruby), but washes other people out. It'll be interesting to see what the competition leos are like if bold and bright is the theme.

And speaking of Ruby? Is she there? Only Kate and Breanna have shown up on socials so far.

Ah, a few bust knees will be just the thing.

She posted her flight only landed last night. Sounds like there was some big delays.

What an unsettling start to worlds, and what a shame to miss the first training session. It'll be interesting to see how she goes - from what was demonstrated at national clubs, I don't think she's back to her Olympic difficulty (I don't think the DTY has been seen since then)? I guess she's playing the long game for LA and maybe even Brisbane. Which is smart, but if she had spent the past year upgrading even slightly, she could have been a serious AA contender at this Worlds.

Definitely not the ideal way to start. At least she's somewhat close geographically compared to being days away where delays could be much worse.

I like that they are playing the long game. She's going to be the face of WAG for the Brisbane games so they need to get her there healthy. It seems like the only upgrades she's going for is on floor - adding a DLO based on the routine she did national clubs - so not much but better than nothing. If she pulls out her DTY, she might make the top AA group which would be a cool achievement.

Ruby was working on upgrades over the last year but none have made it on to her routines yet. Cheng on vault, Nabieva & Ezhova on bars, front walkover to piked front on beam, Silivas and DLO full twist on floor.

Nice she did a DLO on floor recently! I hope she still tumbles her arabian double front, it is sky high!

I think she was also working on an Amanar at one point and a new beam dismount.

That's what I was hoping for for her. She qualified in 12th position in Paris, and I thought a couple of upgrades, and taking advantage of the post-Olympic reduced field could help her build on that. I'm too impatient!!

I wonder if she's dropped the DTY because it interferes with the work towards the amanar? Now that it has been mentioned, I think I remember seeing one onto a pit mat on her socials (ages ago) and thinking it looked plausible that she would one day take it to a competition surface.
