Gabby Douglas Comeback Thread (5/29/24 Withdrawn from Nationals)

[Doug1233]

At WOGA, apparently…

Wow.
If she is in WOGA of all places, this seems like a serious comeback.
If she can get into elite shape she would have a realistic chance at Worlds next year and maybe Paris. Her bars alone would make her an immediate contender. Her DTY would be more than adequate.

Very interesting

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

WOGA is such an interesting choice for her.

 

[QuietColours]

Didn’t she reportedly want to go to WOGA after she left Chow’s?

 

[makam]

If Simone is interested in coming back as a specialist for VT and FX, Gabby could be a nice fill for UB and BB. With 5 person teams back, it takes some pressure off needing to be fully AA ready.

I’m prepared to stop everything and just frantically click refresh to get more updates.

 

[irichluck21]

I just really want to know what the motivation or rationale is.
Super curious!

Church lol

Is there a shorthand for a piked tkatchev?

 

[choclatechip45]

It was when she left Excalibur. WOGA wouldn’t take her and she ended up at Chow’s.

Is there a shorthand for a piked tkatchev?

No - the piked Tkatchev first entered the COP following 1999 Worlds, but as an unnamed element and in the same box / element # as the straddled Tkatchev.

Who would it be named after?? Prod?

I live a few minutes from WOGA in Frisco. I think Valeri runs this one and Yevgeny runs the Dallas one maybe? I’m about to roll up and see if I can get a tour for my niece (gotta be inconspicuous lol). I just don’t believe this is really happening!

 

[rlayt]

Please scout that situation and report back!

The notion of the 2024 team having the last three Olympic AA champions on it is totally insane. Plus Jade!

 

[irichluck21]

We can’t forget that had Gabby not been 2 per’d in Rio she would have easily medaled in the AA with 4 hit sets. Her TQ total would have beaten Mustafina and Raisman.

 

[Doug1233]

She was also 3-perd from the beam final and 4-perd from the floor final!

If she had been from ANY country other than USA, she would have been in AA, UB, BB and FX finals.
