Sounds like someone had a realistic talk with her about her chances and she decided to go with starting college on time with the rest of her year instead. Sad, though--I really would love to see her on a world stage. I will die on the hill that her beam would have been used in team finals.

Huh, I wonder what prompted the apparent change of plans. Regardless, that's a get for UCLA.

Her Instagram says her ankle is still very sensitive and its best that she go to UCLA now and rehab it before the season starts.

I think it's a wise decision to look ahead to the end goal. She looked like she needed some additional time so better to wait and not risk it for an individual Worlds

She had very little chance to make the World Team so it is a wise decision to rehab and get into school where they have physical therapy options.

I can see her doing bars and beam her freshman year. She doesn't need a same bar release, which was her challenge in elite.

Awaiting her glorious NCAA bar routine:

chow + overshoot + stand on low bar
stalder + C dismount

That said, maybe the college coaches can help her have a breakthrough for a good routine. At least good enough to stop holding her back.

Janelle is an amazing bars coach so she's in one of the best of capable hands to do so.
