US WAG Olympic trials Night 1 Discussion

[tsarinajen]

But if they compare Skinner and Riley, Riley won’t get bumped from bars finals and Skinner will. I do agree that Riley was underscored.

 

[Jack]

Why the fuck didn’t they show Suni’s beam?

 

[Doug1233]

There’s no guarantee that Jade would beat Skinner on VT.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

They rather show an interview with Simone. They don’t do this in other sports.

 

[Passion]

1. Suni Lee

[Jack]

Do you think Skinner is more in contention for the +1 or the 4th spot? I think it’s more the latter.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Kind of the problem of focusing so much on Simone. Other gymnasts are getting the shaft, including the gymnast likely to get the 2nd spot. We don’t need to spend time watching her getting her foot taped or following her around.

 

[Doug1233]

The +1 but don’t make me feel ill.

 

[JaJa]

If anything *1 but that will not happen either

 

[Hatsumomo]

Man, if Suni Lee was a little more a power gymnast, she would be keeping Simone on her toes. Imagine if she could do a Cheng.

 

[JaJa]

Turns out Nastia is dating a frat boy. She has to get to a Toga Party right after trials. No time to change in between.

 

[RedBirdie]

And I swear they showed this same Simone interview during nationals

 

[Doug1233]

So Wong beat Skinner by2 tenths on bars.

I’m gonna throw up.

 

[Jack]

Sorry about the puksies, but I think she makes more sense as the 4th spot. We are yet to see Suni on FX, but the obvious hole with the big 3 is vault, and well…

Chuso, Iordache, and Andrade didn’t come for free.

 

[makam]

Here’s Suni’s beam. Apparently they need to reserve a routine or two for the warmup break when they don’t have a big sob story featurette.

 

[JaJa]

Just so damned happy for Suni.

 

[RedBirdie]

Kim doing Emma’s choreo is the background is…a thing.

 

[Doug1233]

Stick a fork in Emma

 

[Passion]

Malabuyo 13.566 FX

Wong 11.500 BB

 

[Doug1233]

Holy shit. Wong 11 on beam!
