US Nationals WAG Day 1

[Doug1233]

Underscore of the day for me was Riley on bars. That shit was beautiful.

 

[glamafonic]

Jade came in fourth thanks to McCallum, DiCello, and Wong falling all over the place, but didn’t place top three in any event. Yikes.

VT- Biles 15.8, Chiles 14.95, Skinner 14.9

UB- S. Lee 15.3, Biles 14.75, McCusker 14.65

BB- Biles 14.35, McCallum 14.2, Chiles 13.95

FX- Biles 14.85, Wong 14.2, DiCello 14.05

 

[Passion]

Chellsie is 6th on BB, hope she hits night two so she can finish top 8 and come out on the podium at the end.

 

[rue_des_plantes]

USAG will never name her unless they’re forced to by a top 2 Trials finish. Anything else is begging for a PR disaster and USOPC intervention.

[Doug1233]

Chellsie did the best beam routine she’s capable of tonight.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I’m very confused about the score. I wonder if the Maggie-Nichols-Is-Injured fix is in for McCusker

 

[Doug1233]

Gymnaverse Top 5 standings so far (with more scores to be inputted):

1. Biles 58.6
2. Suni 57.3
3. Chiles 55.95
4. Wong 55.05
5. Jade 54.95

Tom is going to have almost all of them at Trials.

He will. They have 6 team-ish spots and 5 “alternates” to fill.

 

[QuietColours]

From Blythe: Chellsie Memmel says she’s never actually made it through a full bar routine in her comeback and just wanted to “see what happened” tonight.

 

[glamafonic]

They lowered Simone’s FX score lol.

 

[makam]

Updated the NDs from .3 to .5

Hey, what was the 3 event score to qualify to Nationals? 39.something? Chellsie got 40.1 with a fall. I just love her.

 

[rlayt]

I thought I couldn’t love Chellsie any more than I did but I was wrong. I hope she does really well at Trials. Maybe she will get picked for Worlds!

 

[Doug1233]

The Shap uprise half on the high bar has never looked like its feasible.

 

[ucrgirl]

I thought I couldn’t love Chellsie any more than I did but I was wrong. I hope she does really well at Trials. Maybe she will get picked for Worlds!

I was impressed.

 

[RedBirdie]

She nailed it in podium training, albeit not in a full routine.

 

[Doug1233]

Yes I saw that. And I was shocked.

But one shouldnt be shocked that a gymnast made a skill in her routine! lol

 

[RedBirdie]

From Blythe: Chellsie Memmel says she’s never actually made it through a full bar routine in her comeback and just wanted to “see what happened” tonight.

BAMF!

That’s absolutely insane. And she almost hit, which is crazy.

 

[Doug1233]

Hurd is looking shaky to even make it to Trials. Ugh. I had faith. I had love. But I think she fucked it tonight. Get the fork out…

 

[ucrgirl]

I realize they all have three more meets, but I think Kara is not on the team. I realize she was 6th tonight, but she is supposed to be a beam specialist. that 13.7 seemed as bad as a fall.

But that 14.2 on beam from Grace arrived just in time to keep my frail hopes alive.
