US Classic Senior Session 1

[ucrgirl]

I saw that. Now I can imagine 7 screw and a plate in her hand. Ouch.

 

[blueghost]

Not bad from Grace… I pick her for AA!

 

[Doug1233]

chelsie up next…

 

[Sasha]

I can’t see anything, please let know how Chellsie is doing/did on beam!

 

[makam]

Really great, leg up on illusion, fall on teh arabian, good dismount. bummed. But everything else was pretty strong.

 

[Doug1233]

Baulked on the switch mount. Fell on the arabian. I had a 5.8 E

 

[Sasha]

5.8 OOF! Well, I guess I don’t need to wait for the score. Poor Chellsie.

Off to get vaccine #1, will hopefully see you all in Session 2!

 

[makam]

Judges were a little nicer with a 6.2

 

[cats]

I’d take her. She’s not Olympics ready but I can totally see her in the mix for Worlds. Let her get another competition in!

 

[Doug1233]

I took 3 or 4 in adjustments and pauses which I don’t think the USAG domestic judges are taking.

 

[gtu07]

Beautiful routine from our Queen other than the glitches. I love the level of risk she is taking, but I wonder if maybe she could replace the Arabian with something else.

 

[Denn]

She can do the arabian. She probably won’t miss it again. LOL.

 

[Doug1233]

Nastia saying the 6.2 execution is harsh. Absolutely not. That Switch Mount was a total baulk. 0.5 body shape. 1.0 off on the arabian. All her skills have built in deductions.

I love Chellsie and I want her to succeed but even without the fall she was still a whole point off qualifying with a 27.0.

 

[blueghost]

Wow… you were pretty close on that.

 

[rlayt]

We’ve seen Chellsie do the Arabian many times. First competition back so just nerves. She won’t miss again.

Malabuyo has the only ugly leotard there.

 

[Doug1233]

I’m pretty close to a Worlds pen.

USAG tends to run a little higher for the big names, but Worlds-pen for the lesser names.

 

[makam]

Yeah, you were actually a little easier on Laurie than the USAG judges. (by .1, but still)

 

[Passion]

She almost matched her score from 2012 US Classic. It was 11.95 there. 11.80 here.

 

[Doug1233]

It’s because USAG judges don’t appreciate a good toe point.

 

[emmade]

I love that Chellsie dismounted with a smile.

The arabian is usually rock solid for her. I really hope she can petition through. They have certainly been riding the Chellsie wave tonight and harping on about how great she is to come back blah blah blah. She needs more time.

I really am gutted for her.
