US WAG Olympic trials Night 1 Discussion

Besides the two errors… Wong is super clean.

She had a huge knee bend on the Shap 1/2. I took 3 but I could see them taking 5 for that.

 

[makam]

NBC, stahp with the down the beam angle. It is not artistic or helpful!

 

[Jack]

I totally saw .5, but I see how it could be .3. That late turn was for sure .5 though, right?

 

[blueghost]

The blue lights are by the wall past bars too? Are these like an anti-COVID bubble of illumination for the athletes?

 

[Hatsumomo]

It’s almost comforting seeing Kelli Hill there. She’s been such a mainstay since the early 1990s with Dominique Dawes that it’ll be weird when we will no longer see her on the sidelines.

Malabuyo 13.000 BB
Siegfeldt 12.066 UB

Skinner 13.466 UB

 

[Hatsumomo]

Jordan’s UB dismount was scary as hell. It looked like she peeled off.

 

[Passion]

DiCello 13.766 BB

 

[Hatsumomo]

What was Jordan’s UB score?

 

[JaJa]

Seeing the full audience sections makes me so uncomfortable. Especially since the Delta variant is in the US now.

and many have no mask on. What the hell??? These athletes need to be protected from any possible exposure right now.

[Hatsumomo]

Thank you!

 

[JaJa]

It was 14.3

 

[Hatsumomo]

I’ve said it before, but I am so happy to see how Jordan has improved! I was rooting for her since she was a junior and it’ll be great to see her on the Olympic team.

 

[lovegymnasts]

Chile’s didn’t come to play

 

[Rich]

wow stuck dismount form jordan. Nice routine

 

[Sasha]

So does the audience, honestly. As you would know…

Every time Kelli has been to trials, she’s had a gymnast name to the team or as alternate. Insane. And DiCello will at least be an alternate this year unless she completely crashes all over the place.

1992: Dawes
1996: Dawes
2000: Ray, Dawes
2004: Kupets
2008: Lothrop (alt)

14.233 for Chiles.
