US WAG Olympic trials Night 2 (LIVE DISCUSSION)

[irichluck21]

With everything going on with USAG if they go with Wong it will open a can of worms.
It makes sense from a publicity point of view to go top 4 and then Skinner for +1. Not much controversy there.

 

[falcon9]

True dat! (10 10 10)

 

[cats]

I’d argue that while the US may need consistent athletes, the only ones they have are already on the team.

Ugh. It’s Wong on the team for me, and Skinner for the +1 since Jade showed nothing. I would still take Riley otherwise.

 

[makam]

Ugh, I hate that NBC is showing the scores when Skinner’s are very inflated. Like, quit comparing them to athletes who actually earned their scores.

 

[JaJa]

Oh my. Just saw Nastia’s ensemble for the first time tonight. Um . . . . .first of all I am trying to figure out where in the world she purchased this little number. Second, since its clearly not especially flattering, I assume she is trying to make some sort of fashion statement. What exactly that statement is though I have not got a clue.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

If one of Biles, Lee, or Chiles goes down, who the hell would you trust on bars? Certainly not Wong, Skinner, or Carey. Please, please, McCallum. Help me, Pod.

 

[Sasha]

She’s reviving the Russian monarchy?

 

[JaJa]

Here we go praying to false Gods again.

 

[gtu07]

Shhhh! The Greeks had multiple gods

 

[irichluck21]

we all know the goddess of gymnastics is Bogiunskaya…are you a heretic??

 

[Kittentoes]

I’ve gotten kicked out 9 times tonight.

 

[RedBirdie]

They’re going to take Chiles, who has never been at a big international meet before and it’s unclear how she’ll be judges. It would be insanity to also take Skinner, who hasn’t been to worlds since 2014(!) and her one minor international meet this quad the judges destroyed her.

 

[JaJa]

omg, thats it. Actually, someone sent me a filing in NYS Supreme Court for a name change for Nastia from Liukin to Romanov. It all makes sense now.

 

[falcon9]

Server is struggling even with the upgrade.

 

[Jack]

This is taking much longer than last night.

 

[makam]

9 or 10 times for me. Hope it can be fixed before the Olympics because if we think there are is a lot of traffic tonight, the Olympics are going to be kah-ray-zee.

 

[Puffin]

Nastia has obviously got a gig doing Panto - Cinderella (as an ugly sister)

 

[RedBirdie]

Oh god, I’m so nervous for Grace.

 

[irichluck21]

McCalum was right there with the vault and floor scores if you looked at Trials. She was carrying a floor fall from day 1 nationals.

 

[JaJa]

Oh my. Its done.
