Jayla Hang in 2025

[Passion]

She posted videos training an Amanar in March and June this year.

A number of the top gymnasts from 2024 quad will be going off to college or otherwise skipping 2025. Jones and Blakely will be recovering from injury until at least late summer. Jayla Hang could be in the top group of athletes for Team USA being sent to competitions in the Spring. I'm hoping USA Gymnastics will be sending people out to more meets to make up for only 3 gymnasts getting World Championship experience next year.

Maybe more experience would help with her consistency issues. She's only competed internationally twice, 2023 Jr. Worlds and 2024 Pac Rims.

She finished 16th at Nationals and wasn't invited to Trials. These seven gymnasts finished ahead of her and should be also contending for competitions in Spring 2025. Plus Claire Pease and Gabrielle Hardie will be seniors next year.

I really thought, in early 2023, that Jayla would be the breakout star. But Simone was the one that made Trials.

Didn't Jayla have a significant set back due to injury later in 2023 then too many mistakes at nationals.

Both athletes appear promising but lack experience/consistency. Which seems to be the issue for most of the juniors/new seniors.

Not sure if she was injured but yes Jayla fell from bars and beam at Nationals 2024. I was hoping she would make the Olympic Team but she didn’t get to go to Olympic Trials. I like how she seems to walk in to her BB dismount. Her floor was nice too.

Jayla Hang is absolutely a huge talent, but there's something unfinished about her work aside from the world-class DTY on vault. I hope she settles into her gymnastics a bit more next year, and maybe upgrades her floor tumbling, where she's clearly capable of so much more.

 

[wishfulgoddess]

Jayla, Hezly, and Tiana were always on my radar for 2028. I didn't really see any of them really being a factor for 2024. As much as the injuries sucked, I am glad Hezly got the chance to experience the Olympics this year, though. They all need the international experience. I think all of them have the potential to rule this next quad if everything goes well for them.

Yes, I believe she struggled with an ankle injury after 2023 junior worlds, eventually leading her to withdraw from nationals.

Tiana Sumanasekera
Hezly Rivera

Of this list, I see Dulcy Caylor, Tiana and Hezly as top contenders for competitions early in this quad. Simone Rose, Madray, and Jayla seem to have struggled making the transition from Juniors to Seniors. Zoey is the youngest of the bunch so we'll see. I don't know much about Evelynn Lowe (which perhaps says something that she hasn't really caught my attention yet).

Claire Pease turns senior in 2025 and I think she will be right up there with the top group.
Depending who decides to take 2025 off, it could be Pease, Rivera, and Sumansekera as the top group.
Lowe, Rose, and Caylor are solid AA gymnasts but don't necessarily have a stand out event or two.

Are there any vault specialists still remaining? I think Annalisa Milton did a DTY and a Lopez at Nationals. That could be the ticket to Worlds.

But with 3 slots it will be tough. Does the USA send 1 AA and 2 ES or 2 AA and 0 ES?
My guess is 2 AAers.

It also sounds like Shilese will be forgoing NCAA and instead continue elite toward 2028.
If she is training and healthy, Shilese could very well be the favorite for AA gold at 2025 Worlds given it is likely Simone won't attend and Rebeca is not doing the AA any longer.

Nemour, Jones, D'Amato, Esposito, Kevric, QQY, Rivera would be a fierce AA meet.
Any 2009ers from other countries that could contend?

that would be a fabulous competition.

Is Kaliya Lincoln continuing with elite?

 

[irichluck21]

Lincoln is currently at LSU, it is possible that she might continue with elite.

I’d add Jessica Gadirova into that mix. Very interested to see her bars with new skills
