US WAG Olympic trials Night 1 Discussion

[Passion]

Skinner is in 1st place half way through the 2nd rotation and NBC hasn’t shown her yet.

I have been waiting years for this jordan Chiles. It’s such a thrill to see her so confident.

 

[makam]

Niice dismount from Jordan. Much improved.

Who has to vacuum all the chalk out of the chairs, I wonder…

 

[Doug1233]

Skinner 7.7 E on Bars sounds like a fix and I’ve not even seen the routine yet.

 

[blueghost]

Very annoying… that they haven’t shown her that is.

 

[Sasha]

I’m cool with missing her bars but it would have been nice to have seen vault.

 

[Stoutness]

So Simone is a lock and the backbone of the Olympics team, I feel she gets to demand that her gymmate Jordan makes the team as her +1 (joking, kinda)

 

[Hatsumomo]

Getting that Raisman gift.

 

[Passion]

McCusker up first after warmups on UB and Suni coming on BB

 

[Doug1233]

Skinner probably took a pic of her in 1st place on the scoreboard. That’ll be on her YT channel.

 

[megansothername]

The good thing is she won’t have to!! Jordan is killing it!!

 

[Sasha]

Oh god I’m nervous for Riley!

 

[megansothername]

Simone just complained about the lights on the broadcast!

 

[JaJa]

Of course. Yes. But USAG should at a minimum be thinking to protect their Olympians

 

[makam]

I’m sure we’ll see her vault replay when she gets to beam. Her currently 9th place UB probably isn’t worth seeing.

 

[Concorde]

I know Simone has upgraded her bars a lot, but she was so much cleaner when she was with Aimee.

Simone has regressed quite a bit in this regard on beam as well. Choreographic elements that made the routine look less like simply a bunch of disconnected elements (e.g., the low beam work she did after the barani, the high kick before her acro series) were removed. In addition, while her releve was never good, she now really shows minimal commitment to fully extending through her toes and just slightly lifts her feet off the beam.

 

[Doug1233]

RILEY MY HEART!!! YESS!!!

I’m so fucking happy!

 

[Hatsumomo]

Accurate prediction.

 

[Passion]

McCusker 14.8 UB

 

[tsarinajen]

14.8 for Riley.
