US Nationals WAG Day 1

[RedBirdie]

Those two elbow surgeries this spring will end Morgan’s olympic aspirations.

 

[cats]

I bet Hurd goes to Trials. They need bodies.

Suni 4th on floor with that dismount. Amazing for her, but that should have been very beatable.

 

[makam]

Finnegan had a super rough night…

 

[Doug1233]

Skinner came 10th. For the second meet in a row.

 

[Doug1233]

Ouch. Bars and beam both in the 6s E.

 

[Doug1233]

Suni came 4th on beam and floor. 1st on bars.

There’s no way you can leave that off the main team.

Chiles came 2nd on vault, 4th on bars, 3rd on beam, 6th on floor. She’s pretty much a lock.

 

[glamafonic]

Dammit, the free Fubo trial I used to record this cut off the last ten minutes or so because it went long.

 

[PeakePups]

I’m confused, how do you automatically qualify to the team?

Is it top two AA from trials only or from trials and nationals combined?

I thought it was just from trials but the announcers made it seem like it was from both so now I’m not sure.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Based on the two meets we’ve seen, it really ought to be Biles, Chiles, and Lee with McCallum, DiCello, and Wong fighting for the last spot

 

[Doug1233]

Carey came 7th, 7th, 10th and 12th on her events - but still somehow managed to come 4th AA…!

 

[Doug1233]

Yeah. Save for injury, I think Simone, Jordan and Suni are now all locks.

You really want an AAer with a good VT/UB to fill in the gaps. Gabby would be incredible right around now!

Wong would be great if she could literally do ONE FUCKING MEET where she goes 4 for 4. It seems shes incapable of doing so.

 

[dco1987]

My team
Simone, Suni, Chiles, McCallum
Carey, Riley/DiCello

 

[RedBirdie]

She didn’t splat when pretty much everyone else did.

 

[Doug1233]

Yes. But certainly not good enough to go on the main team. She’s not a TF star.

 

[glamafonic]

Yeah I posted the apparatus top scores above. Literally it’s just that all the 4th spot contenders splatted at least one event.

 

[Doug1233]

Between Wong, Grace and DiCello for the 4th spot, there’s really not much to choose from…

On any given day, they can all do a decent DTY. And they could all either get a 14 or an 11 on bars…

 

[RedBirdie]

If McCallum and DiCello are able to regroup, they’ll easily surpass Carey.

So get prayin’ to Pod!

 

[Doug1233]

I bet Grace is wishing she had that Cheng right around now.

That would push her way more into the 4th spot. Suni’s main weakness is vault. You’d prefer not to make her vault in TF.

 

[RedBirdie]

The thing Grace has going for her that the other 2 don’t is all the worlds experience and we know the judges love her.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

I think Grace could score a 15 on bars with some of the routines she has posted in training. Granted, those were recorded before the pinky break.
