US Olympic Team Trials - June 24-27, 2021

[makam]

I could see if Chiles or Lee has a sucky day (of 2) and ends up in fifth by a smidgen, they would start to weigh results from nationals more heavily.

 

[dweiss324]

This is my biggest fear currently (lol), is that if Chiles has a bad day and ends up 4th or 5th, does she all of the sudden get left off?

ProScore would probably put Skinner in the team for VT alone and make Suni do FX.

A look at the arena:

Eddie is out. Knee injury.

Eddie is out. Knee injury.

well crap… was he ever really in consideration for a +1?

 

[tempest]

anyone know if anyone is adding anything here?

 

[MRR]

Devastating for Eddie but I don’t think he had much of a chance. I’ve always assumed +1 would come down to Nedoroscik and Yoder.

Oh how I hope Chiles hits, I so badly want her on the team. Chiles, Lee, and Wong would be perfect for me.

Oh dear - Skinner is putting the Bhardwaj back in on ub

 

[QuietColours]

Training leak or her YouTube channel?

 

[ucrgirl]

Skinner announced it on her YouTube channel . . . her coach seems to think the extra skill improves how the whole routine works.

 

[Puffin]

Her youtube - she doesn’t look confident and needs a lot of spotting and on one attempt missed her hand and slammed her neck into the lb

Ub overall looks a big struggle

 

[tempest]

Oh dear - Skinner is putting the Bhardwaj back in on ub

let her put it in… she’ll have an excuse to why she didn’t make the team if she messes it up… it will be easier to believe it was the bhardwaj instead of anything else

 

[lovegymnasts]

Why oh why are they concentrating so much on an event she will never be used on?
Focus on her floor
Clean that mess up!

 

[Hatsumomo]

Because they figure she’ll make the team and be the 2nd AAer. At least that’s how I think their thought process works.

 

[QuietColours]

With how much ankle pain she has, I don’t think they can work it much more

 

[Puffin]

She also said that she has “tweaked” her elbow on ub and is going to get treatment

 

[irichluck21]

I wonder if Skinner is not at 100%/slightly injured if she will withdraw from Trials completely, rather than compete and finish 10th.
Coming up 10th does not fulfill the french vanilla fantasy that she and her Skans think she was robbed of the Olympics, not once but twice.
Withdrawing completely lends itself to “would have been on the team for sure if she competed!” narrative.
As it is her Skans have been foaming at the mouth at how underscored she was at Nationals.
Just curious.

 

[MRR]

Nah, Skinner’s going to compete. Or die trying.
