Potential upgrades ahead of Worlds

[Seyonne]

I can’t believe how upset I STILL am about that stupid ribbon. Just when I thought I was over it, you had to remind me.

 

[rlayt]

Maybe she’ll replace ribbons with headbands.

 

[RichardL]

She would not only have medaled, but she would have destroyed the field with her score. The judges loved her routine and will throughout this quad. I hope she has forgiven the ribbons and will aim to do hit routines when it matters. I happen to love her AA program: she has really nice technique and the skills are all there. She just needs to stand out by being more consistent.

 

[hmmmm]

Is there a forum setting to do this?

 

[rlayt]

There is. Click on user’s name.

Then on the grid that expands options.

Then click Normal to switch to selections. Then you can select mute or ignore.

Jones’s planned floor upgrades

1. Chuso
2. Front step out + full in
   If these two upgrades are successful, her floor is 6.0D.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Shilese clearly has a great relationship with her coach and it’s really understated how important that is.

 

[gymfan]

Nola Matthews’s Silivas

 

[rlayt]

Shilese is doing so well. I hope they continue to work together.

 

[gymfan]

She is also planning to upgrade the turns

1. Triple L to double turn
2. Triple wolf turn

In competition, I think more realistically she will do double L and triple wolf turn.

Nola’s Silivas needs some time before it is ready for a competition floor.

 

[Caligym]

She is essentially a bars specialist…that she can come close to throwing an H on fx is awesome. Please let us have nice things.

I never said otherwise, just stating that is needs time before it is ready.
I don’t consider her a bars specialist, she is a clear all around with a strength on bars, but I also think she is usable on floor exercise in a team finals scenario and in fact did floor in team finals at the Pan American Championships.

I love the upgrade but don’t want it at the expense of 1. her execution score 2. her artistry score.
I had mentioned in a previous thread that for my judging eyes Nola fulfills all the requirements for artistry and I would be happy to go with 0 artistry deductions.

Just look at the scoresheet, the result suggests some upgrades

Carey: 5.8D UB
Blakely: 6.4D BB
Sumanasekera: 5.7D FX (Silivas)
Jong: 5.9D UB
Roberson: 5.6D VT, 6.3D BB, 6.5D FX

Alexa Moreno is training some big ass skills: Yeo, Dos Santos, Chuso.



It would be cool to see another Yeo in competition!

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

It looks fantastic! A little imaginary birdy told me–I made this up–that Devillard is probably training a Yeo too. She has got the air-time and height

 

[Denn]

Oh yeah? Well, a little imaginary birdie told ME that the big vault that Biles at camp was not the Yurchenko Double Pike, but a Li Xiaopeng. She added a half twist to “her” vault.

I wish

 

[rlayt]

Since it’s the womens’ side and no woman has gone before her that could be the Biles 3.

 

[dweiss324]

Wouldn’t that d-score only be a 4.pleasedont according to FIG logic???
