SHILESE! <3

lol, 15.25

But props to Sarah Korngold. She has done wonders with Shilese this quad.

I feel cheated that we can’t hear Kathy call that Shi bars set. They were made for each other.

 

[makam]

I kinda liked Caylor's music.

Trinity's UB, drilled the landing like its ncaa championships time. nice.

why are all the WCC girls trying to dismount with DLOs

 

[Hatsumomo]

I have 8.6 for shilese that was BEAUTIFUL

She got 8.75

This meet is really showing how dumb it was to not send anyone on a spring international assignment.

USAG made opportunities available. Can't do much when the top gymnasts and their coaches won't take them.

FWIW, Pac Rims was apparently a fucking shit show and borderline unsafe. I don't blame Trinity for pulling out of that one.

 

[MaryClare]

Trinity’s bars were amazing. I really, really hope that her and her team realise this is her ticket

I didn't hear about that; what happened?

 

[MaryClare]

HOW DO YOU REBOUND THAT HIGH

 

[Passion]

A friend of mine is saying that his best guess is Douglas's spirit was killed by missing bars, so she withdrew. Who knows if that's true, but if it is, that's disappointing. if i were Liukin, I would have said “Skip beam, and then go do a clean, watered down floor to practice your choreo and performance for a crowd. Then do your vault.”

She walked off the podium after UB and it’s her first time back in an arena this big, a crowd this loud, and there’s NBC’s giant cameras chasing her to zoom in on her face after a missed routine again. I was thinking all the bad memories from 2016 have to be flooding back.

Leanne had a simply stunning Bhardwaj. She floated that!

Shame about the bent knees on the shap, but recovered nicely

 

[Hatsumomo]

They need to work with Simone on her choreography so she's not standing waiting for her next cue

 

[Aeris]

Simone's choreography has nothing to do with the music really.

I understand the need to pull back after Martha, but I think they have gone too far in the other direction of completely decentralizing and removing any accountability, which we have seen with so many inexplicable coaching decisions this quad.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

I really wish Simone hadn’t brought the Biles II back. It was so nice not having to see her fly out of bounds every pass last year.

 

[RedBirdie]

Sorry, the routine did nothing for me.

 

[Doug1233]

what was Josc e score on floor? a 12.3 looks about seven points too high lol

 

[Laura722]

That was amazing, Simone.

One million percent

 

[Denn]

Simone's choreography has nothing to do with the music really.

Which is why it's even more hilarious that at one point, she literally stood there for a measure or two waiting.
