British WAG (and MAG!) talk

[ArnoldRimmer]

Amelie Morgan is a permanent resident of the US with a green card now, so can do NIL stuff.

 

[Gymfan93]

Good for her! I suppose this means she’ll be staying in the USA after college is done.

 

[MaryClare]

She managed to get that pretty quick

Her family are not wealthy. Yes she’s a talented athlete, but the majority of international NCAA athletes don’t become permanent residents after 3 years

Oh, I meant from the Utah boosters. Probably know people who know people who can expedite things for her.

I see

 

[Caledi]

She may have had an EB-1 (as an Olympic medalist she has a straightforward case - and I believe she's the only NCAA gymnast who is an Olympic medalist not from the US?), and being from the UK she's not subject to the same quotas/lines as some people.

Having some experience, it can go very quickly or very slowly

 

[irichluck21]

Things must be going really good with her boyfriend!
(They have been together 2.5 years).

USCIS moves like a slow train. I didn’t think money would help that much.

I wonder what green card she was eligible for?

 

[RedBirdie]

I'm almost certain she got an EB-1. As an Olympic medalist, she's eligible for it.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Jess has been discharged by her ACL surgeon.

 

[Samxo]

Very curious as to what level she’s training at now. In theory she doesn’t need to compete till the British and probably could get selected on that alone, even it ends up just being bars and beam like in 2023

I couldn't find any selection criteria for 2025 worlds, and they may not be decided yet. But if it's anything like 2022 and 2023 worlds, they'll have a trials event in roughly September 2025. And my guess is that, because of who's injured, they'll write the criteria to allow for someone to be selected based on participation in that competition only. The Paris criteria for both MAG and WAG looked very much like they were trying to leave as much wiggle room as possible for Jen, Joe and Giarnni to get back.

 

[RedBirdie]

I don't see any reason why she wouldn't be at 100% on all 4 events for British and Euros next year.

 

[Samxo]

Honestly if bg mess up that much to not select Jess for euros. Plus there’s a 2 month gap after the British for euros so she has plenty of time

 

[Hatsumomo]

Rebeca Andrade could give a seminar on recovering and coming back from ACL injury.

 

[makam]

If the next Olympics are her goal, no reason to work her tail off this early in the quad. Especially for a worlds we all think is a farce of a setup anyway...

Paradoxically, I think that might make worlds even more of an attraction. Jess will never get a better chance to have a go at a world AA title than in 2025. Feel like Euros could go either way.
