Cairo World Cup 2023, April 27-30

Yeah, her left knee could be bad. Maybe she got lucky… and maybe her coach gets a soul…

 

[Bob]

and not in a good way lol

 

[Bob]

it is interesting though as she has been scoring 14 previously domestically I seem to remember.

 

[RedBirdie]

I don’t recall 14s on beam domestically for Roberson.

 

[rlayt]

Roberson scored a little over 10 at Winter Cup.

 

[rlayt]

I mean, I just watched it, and kinda wished I hadn’t.

I thought the standard for not being able to watch was if there’s blood and bones bent or broken. Sorry!

 

[Bob]

I must have imagined it. I went and looked and she has lots of 13s up to 13.8 from a couple of years ago. Mostly lower now.

@rlayt she got 13.3 at winter cup didn’t she?

Winter Cup scores from the MyUSAGym app

2022 Nationals

yeah that’s bars we are talking about her beam. Her bars are hideous I don’t even want to think about them let alone talk about them.

Any update on Asia?

 

[Gymfan93]

Very much not good news.

 

[RedBirdie]

only appropriate response.

Playing Armchair Doctor, I wouldn’t be surprised if her ACL had been slowly coming apart for some time. Her knee should not have buckled like it did on an otherwise good landing.

 

[Samxo]

How hopeful is Paris for her?

 

[tsarinajen]

She’s a got a year… it’s doable provided Italy doesn’t rush her back and have do something dumb along the way.

 

[FrolovasDoubleLayout]

She needs to go to BRA to work with Andrade’s rehab team.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Which we all know they absolutely will.

 

[Gymfan93]

There was really zero reason to have the Italian A team at a World Cup in the first place.

 

[MaryClare]

There was zero reason to have that World Cup

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Either way, it was especially important for someone who’s just coming off ankle ligament surgery, looked visibly exhausted on her return and in no way needs the experience to compete full difficulty here.

 

[Doug1233]

I mean, I just watched it, and kinda wished I hadn’t. He knee collapses in laterally. That could easily be an ACL.

Kinda saw that coming. Knees don’t bend like that.
