US Classic Session 2 thread

I need a pretty UB/BB gymnast on the team.

Besides Shilese?

Love Jade the person, but she finished 5th on floor. Other than vault, does she really fill a role on the team?

See my post about the top-scoring team. She would do floor also...

 

[Denn]

Damn the difference between Shilese and Chiles is almost double the difference between her and Simone

You mean Simone – Chiles = 2 x (Shiles – Chiles)?

Josc stock WAY down after today.

Washington Post needs to update their "build a team" ASAP so we can all play with the updated scores.

Jordan made a strong case for herself on bars. But I just don’t think you can take that floor routine to the Olympics

Just went back and watched it. Felt a bit like scrolling through a TikTok feed because of all the cuts, but is otherwise similar to the myriad of routines with midi brass, no? (and why is that the trend right now??)

Oh god, the USAG furry mascot is doing a FX routine.

I mean the AA score difference between Jones and Chiles. It's 1.850 between Shilese and Simone and around 3 between Shilese and Jordan (I closed the scores tab and don't feel like reopening it to get the exact number).

Did both Shi and Simone go 4 for 4 without a major mistake? Chiles had a fall, right?

the music cut is sailing very close to the wind of what’s allowed and the overall style is a big, big risk

why wouldn’t it be allowed?

I don't think Chiles had a fall, she just doesn't have an FX at the level of the other two.

Yes. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply her UB/BB were not pretty. I love Shilese.

It's a tribute to Beyonce's Renaissance album.

No, only 2.2 difference.

Important thing about team building: By Olympics, Lee will be swinging bars, too. So that slot Chiles is filling is EASILY replaceable by anyone who contributes on literally ANY apparatus.

If a gymnast shows up with a good Cheng, she's in,.

If Douglas shows up with a 14.8 bars, she's in.

If McClain isn't injured and shows up with a reliable 14.7 beam, she's in.

I have zero faith in Lee and Douglas to hit bars at this point.

McClain is done.

and suni?!

I was replying to your comment in reference to Suni.

But will Suni be swinging bars? Because nothing we have seen is pointing in that direction of a consistent, high-scoring routine.

The post I was responding to was talking about Suni...
