Jordan made the team specifically because she hit all her routines leading up to the Olympics, the scoring really didn’t matter much because the others were inconsistent.
McCallum, Skinner, McCusker, Hurd, Wong, Eaker, DiCello, Blakely, Jones, McClain were falling all year long.
When you have Emma Malabuyo who was completely off everyone’s radar and IMO had no chance at making even the Olympic Trials, was suddenly 4th ranked after nationals and a potential spoiler to the team, you know nationals was a shit show.
Skinner should have come no where near making the team let alone get picked as +1. But that is how it worked out.
When everyone else is falling and there is one athlete hitting cold each time they get the call.
This has happened before with Natasha Kelley, who then got hammered in execution at Worlds (and also downgraded routines).
