Worlds 2021 US Selection Camp (October 8-11)

[Dex]

My goodness! The FL team is going to be loaded!!!

There should be a sticky thread somewhere to keep these links to documents easy to find.

Don’t forget that everyone got last year for free essentially, so there is no scholarship cap this year due to Covid I don’t know when the scholarship cap will be reinstated.

It appears Aleah Finnegan might be trying for Worlds.
She is training arabian double front (gorgeous legs together) into immediate punch front full.
I don’t think this is intended to be a NCAA pass as it is too difficult and risky.

 

[blake]

I’m fairly certain she retired from elite after not making trials, plus she had foot surgery recently. The dbl arabian punch 1/1 was part of a montage of skills she trained for fun, including a Def, that she posted on insta. It’s a shame the Fongs mismanaged her cause she’s has some serious talent.

The real GAGE is a much more successful and less depressing establishment. They have agreed that forgetting a CR, or being too lazy to do one, is more honorable than being set up to fail. Would you blame them?

 

[Doug1233]

It’s an incredible pass but, yet again, compositionally DIABOLICAL skill selection from Fong.

WHY do a full?!

She could literally do a tuck front, pike front, front lay, front half (tuck pike or straight) and, given that there is no way on Fong’s green earth any of his gymnasts would ever count a B, they would get EXACTLY THE SAME D SCORE.

 

[irichluck21]

Ah thanks!! It was just posted by Gymnast Tea so I assumed (incorrectly) that it was new.

 

[dweiss324]

Because it’s hot AF.

Doing things that nobody else can do is maybe the thing I love most about gymnastics. It’s why wolf turns and candle stick mounts and double tuck dismounts on floor make you want to put a fork through your eye. This code blows precisely because it doesn’t reward stuff like this.

 

[Doug1233]

Sorry I had thought that these were post Trials videos. Not just her playing around in the gym.

 

[rue_des_plantes]

Shilese is doing the tour, so no Worlds. ETA: As are Jade Carey and Melanie DJDS

 

[cats]

Wow, MDJDS! That’s a huge get.

I am a little sad that she and Shilese are out of Worlds, but so it goes.

 

[tempest]

I’m kinda surprised by MDJDS… she might have medaled at worlds

 

[MaryClare]

How much money though?

Also, it’s been speculated that Melanie wants to train in the US but France have been reluctant to sanction it.

 

[rue_des_plantes]

Also, it’s been speculated that Melanie wants to train in the US but France have been reluctant to sanction it.

And represent USA, or just train there instead of France while still competing for France?

 

[MaryClare]

No. Still represent France. I’m assuming her main reason is that she’s from the French Caribbean so if she trained in the US she could go home sometimes for a few days?

 

[makam]

Oh man, MDJDS training in say…Texas…with some French coaches…and maybe inspiring her friend coughSimonecough to try a few events now and then…my new dream.

 

[ucrgirl]

I would love for MDJDS to gain some consistency and be a force in the next quad.

 

[QuietColours]

With all the people doing the tour or already at college, it’s starting to seem like if you want to go to Worlds, there will probably be a spot for you

 

[MaryClare]

I wonder if these girls are just DONE with Tom/USAG
