Ava Stewart is a first year senior from Canada and scored a 55.000 in the AA at the 2nd Technical Trials.
She was 2nd at Elite Canada, 1st Trial, and 2nd Trial.
She definitely was in contention for a +1 at Pan Ams.
I also think she could very well knock out either Padurariu or Olsen from the Olympics.
She’s slowly upgraded her FTY to a 11/2TY and has a DTY that she lans to debut at the next two technical trials.
She has scored 13.5-14.0 on BB and has a 6.0 D score on UB and went 14.650 on UB at the last trial. That is a huge number. She is weak on floor with a 4.9 D score and hasn’t gotten into the 13s, however wouldn’t do this in TF should Canada make it.
Moors, Padurariu, Stewart, and Black make a strong 4 member team. It all depends on Padurariu’s health.
VT (Padurariu) Stewart, Moors, Black
UB (Moors) Black, Stewart, Padurariu
BB (Moors) Stewart, Padurariu, Black
FX (Padurariu) Stewart, Black, Moors
Olsen would only be used for VT and FX in TF and scores on those events are pretty moot if Stewart is vaulting a DTY, although Olsen’s FX score would be missed.
If she replaces Padurariu (who is perpetually injured) the team would look like this:
VT (Stewart) Moors, Black, Olsen
UB (Olsen) Moors, Stewart, Black
BB (Olsen/Moors) Olsen/Moors, Stewart, Black)
FX (Stewart) Olsen, Black, Moors
Stewart is 15 and will be 16 this year and is suddenly eligible for the Olympics like Listunova.
I think if she makes the Olympics and gets experience she can be a real threat at Worlds.
