US WAG Olympic trials Night 2 (LIVE DISCUSSION)

[irichluck21]

It was rumored that in 2000 Atler and Bekcermann were named alternates and Atler turned it down, which is why they only named Beckermann and then later Schwikert.

I wonder if that is the case here as it was supposed to be 4 alternates plus +1 alternate, like the men.

 

[Jack]

Interesting about turning down the alternate spot. Riley seemed in really good spirits the whole time she was on the floor after she missed. I wonder if that was the plan all along?

 

[JaJa]

Um, don’t you mean the gym pods?

 

[Doug1233]

Try and find out who it was that said no

 

[JaJa]

Night Sasha.

 

[irichluck21]

That is if the other alternate was offered to her or someone else.

 

[Passion]

It would have to be either McCusker or Jones, there’s no other option for 5th alt.

 

[RAFIKI]

I really should go to bed as it is 0415 and I have a 1000 work meeting. I’m too hyped to sleep though and very eager to watch GymCastic BTS.

 

[Doug1233]

Yea. Jones was 10th AA and Riley literally might have had it without a fall on a fucking toe full

 

[Doug1233]

Oh my god!!! Hahaha go to bed BTS will be recorded and online tomorrow haha

 

[Doug1233]

One wonders why they didn’t offer it to shilese if riley turned it down

 

[Alinxz23]

Skinner can finally say she made an Olympic team so there’s that. If Sunisa continues on this trajectory Simone might not be able to make as many mistakes as she does. Can someone refresh my memory are all 4 team members allowed to do the AA in Qf?

 

[Jack]

Why would Shilese turn it down? It could just be that Riley is even more injured than we think and would be able to hold on through the olympics?

 

[RAFIKI]

Yes they are.

 

[Doug1233]

Yep. And Skinner and Jade.

USA will have 6 AA scores from prelims.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Who will be the 2nd AAer? Lee or Chiles?

 

[blueghost]

Good question.

 

[Jack]

USA will have 6 AA scores from prelims

This seemed like it was going to be way more exciting in theory, but with the top 3 so far ahead of the rest, it won’t be nearly as exciting.

 

[RAFIKI]

The only good thing about four person teams is that we won’t have event line up decisions affecting AA qualifications a la Laurie 2016/Maggie 2015.

 

[mnesiptolema]

Sunisa beat Simone for Night 2 by 0.6ish!

I hope Simone feels better about whatever was bothering her tonight.
