I wouldn’t say Doha is likely to be held after Trials, or that it’s likely Carey doesn’t have to make a decision before Trials.
US Trials are June 24-27. Apparatus World Cups and Continentals technically have until June 29 to be completed. However, QAT is back under lockdown, neither Doha WC nor Asian Championships are on the FIG’s calendar, and FIG clarified the apparatus results will stand if Doha gets cancelled. I’d be surprised if Doha’s held.
Say Doha and AGC are cancelled, and PanAms goes forward (scary, considering BRA’s COVID situation) the first weekend in June. That would be the final Olympic qualification event, and NOCs would be notified upon its conclusion and have 2 weeks to confirm their +1s. This leaves enough time for US Championships, but not Trials. The US/Careys’ best bet is to hope Doha is held, or that it just kind of hangs out in limbo until officially getting the axe on June 13/14. I don’t think that’s very probable, though.
