In the past, they haven’t been keen on letting people advance if they don’t meet criteria…just ask Chellsie Memmel.

Morgan isn’t in contention for the Olympic Team, but it would be the nice and respectful thing to do. She has done a lot for USAG this quad and thus I think she deserves the spot.
 
She just did worse on both events than she did at Classics. She’s not improving with more time. Sure they could be nice to Morgan and let her go to Trials, but is that nice to all the gymnasts who just beat her scores on BB/FX who don’t get to go? Is it fair to all the athletes in the competition for there to be an extra hidden criteria of “if you have a reputation, you get to go no matter how low you score?”

Who’s telling Aleah Finnegan hey you scored higher than Morgan on BB/FX both days of the competition (and at Classics) but because she was on the Worlds team 3 years ago and you weren’t, she gets to go to Trials and you just go home and just watch your teammates train for it.

For all we know her petition will ultimately be accepted on the basis of her recent injury/surgery, and if that’s what was in the pre-agreed upon rules then so be it. But you can’t be athlete-first and transparent if there’s one set of rules for some gymnasts and another set of rules for the “big names.”

I’m finally home from work and have no clue what the results are and am about to judge night 2. I missed some routines on night 1–Morgan’s beam :eek: among others
 
Unless she comes top two at Trials, Jade taking the individual route truly screwed her out of being on the Olympic team. As it looks right now what they need is a strong vault and, potentially, a backup floor, with her full difficulty the only reason NOT to take Jade is her already having an individual spot.

She couldn’t possibly have known at the time, but it’s a pretty sad irony.
