British WAG and MAG talk 2025

[Samxo]

She’ll likely make the junior squad, but Idk how it would work out for being a senior next year. There’s only 16 spots this year for the senior squad

The technique on the straddle back suggests that she’s training an Ezhova.

I wonder if her reason for competing nationally in GB is to enhance her NCAA prospects.

That’s what I mean, as a GB junior national team member, she suddenly stands out to ncaa coaches in a way that she doesn’t as a fairly average L10

There's an insta video of her training a Ezhova. She's also working on a double front dismount.

I think this is her 15 year old season; don't know if she's a late start, a late bloomers, or just very conservatively paced. But she's pretty clearly only competing things she's capable of hitting regularly while working on substantial upgrades in the gym. Maybe she continues to progress and makes an impact for GB. Maybe she's "just" a very good level 10 and ends up a star in NCAA.

Not quite Jade Carey vibes re: jumping from L10 and making a huge splash, but the basics and the attention to detail seem to be there. Agree that she's screaming NCAA though.

I do wonder if LA is somewhat a goal. There’s defo going to be an increase in switching federations

Isn't there a limit on how many can switch each year or am I thinking of another sport?

Not sure but I can’t think of anyone who’d be switching twice in a year? Especially since the FIG have a rule that you must be resident in or have family links to any country you want to represent

 

[makam]

Maybe it is ISU that limits federation changes to a few athletes every year?

It’s 2 weeks till the British. Is there a start list up yet? I presume that all the athletes who are qualified via a home nations ranking already know if they are qualified otherwise hotels, travel and logistics must be super annoying for them.

I doubt we’ll see a start list they don’t usually post them.
But the squad and higher scoring seniors will be in the afternoon most likely.

 

[DaniH]

DTB Pokal Team. Tilly Wright is the reserve.

 

[RedBirdie]

I assume Tilly Wright will replace Charlotte Booth?

I'm sorry, there is a gymnast named Grace Grace?

I should not have taken that gummy

 

[rlayt]

Share please! I think we all could use some.

 

[RedBirdie]

Forget the gummies, go with something stronger. Like psychedelic mushrooms.

(Disclaimer: I'm not supporting illegal drug use, just making a joke)

I know a couple of reserve gymnasts that found out they were competing yesterday.

Grace DAvis

Also I will be interested to see if Chloe Allen competes as I thought she was out injured. She didn't do the Welsh or English and hasn't been doing AA recently that I can see.
