Extremely Premature Olympic Team Predictions and Speculation

Roberson with a Cheng and scoring 14 on FX.

She looked at Jade and Jordan and went :

Evil! Bite your tongue!

Blakely had a great camp too! She kept right in there with Biles on three events (she didn’t do floor)

That 14.35 on bars is impressive as she can be a UB/BB girlie.

Roberson outscored Jade on both VT/FX. Skye 2nd on UB and BB. I would say at this point Skye is looking really good for the 5th spot on the worlds team, assuming Gabby isn’t competing this year and that Skye has burnt all of her hair ribbons.

Roberson outscored Jade on both VT/FX.

To be fair, Jade watered back and only did a Lopez it appears. As I see a 4.8 D for her on the speadsheet. We already know Jade is the mistress of pacing.

Quite a week this is turning into!

Wow! I can’t wait to see the YDP again.

 

[Laura722]

Love seeing Skye doing so well.

I’m going to keep faith that Jade or Jordan can keep Jocelyn off the team (absent a major form improvement from Jocelyn. She fixes the form to Jade level and I can get behind her Olympic dreams). I am so happy that Simone is doing this and hope she stays healthy and happy throughout the next year. Send her to any international comp and get that YDP named and my cup shall runneth over.

Roberson has a 6.5D floor and a Cheng now. That puts some pressure on both Carey and Chiles. Bars can be sufficiently covered by Biles, Jones, Lee / Blakely / Miller.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

VT: (Douglas) Jones Chiles, Biles
UB: Jones, Douglas, Lee (Biles) this should be the highest scoring UB lineup in TF
BB: Douglas, Lee, Biles (Jones)
FX: (Douglas) Jones, Chiles, Biles
alt: Blakely, Carey, Wong

On a team with these five, there’s little justification for Chiles to do UB in prelims, even if she is second best AA in 2024, which she very well could be if she gets the Cheng

 

[RichardL]

I would bench whoever is scoring lowest of Jones, Douglas, or Lee in that situation. Two of them plus Biles guarantees two spots in EFs basically.

Does anyone have any idea of what Simone did based on her scores? We know she did the YDP based on that sv

I hope this time if Simone wants to put all of her difficulty out on floor, she saves it for when it’s really necessary. There was really no need for her to be doing those ridiculous floor routines all season. Just excess wear and tear on the days when she’s less than 100%.
