Just posted it on the leo thread. I love the colour and hate the design. Looks like a neck strap to hold their pants up. And the vertical strap cutting the chest in half if just awkward! Terrible design. Do they never make a sample and try it on a real person and see how it looks?
 
I like it. No mesh or fake flesh, not overly busy, navy as a base color looks good on everyone. I yearn for the days of leotards that look like something athletes taking part in an athletic event would wear. Enough of this Vegas Showgirl trash.

Put white sleeves on that leo and that would be a great competition look.
 
I know everyone expects USA to win, but I do think Brazil is going to give them a run for their money.
Brazil is experienced and Andrade and Saravia can put up big numbers.
Interesting to see if they go with Olivera for bars since they lost Barbosa’s DTY.

But yeah let’s see if USA can hit in both qualifications and team finals (which is 3 up 3 count IIRC).
 
Junior
Subdivision 1:

Team:
  1. Brazil 145.399
  2. Mexico 129.767
  3. Guatemala 121.633 (one gymnast had a 0 on vault. Unsure if this was an actual 0 vault or DNS, but had the gymnast vaulted she would have only needed 8.135 to pass Mexico’s team total.
All Around Qualifications:
  1. Andreza Lima (BRA) 49.666
  2. Gabriela Rodriguez (BRA) 48.333
  3. Gabriela Mendoza (MEX) 45.000
  4. Brithany Herrera (GUA) 44.633
  5. Oberlina Fuentas (GUA) 43.733
 
Junior Team results after 2 subdivisions.
  1. Canada 146.899
  2. Argentina 146.067
  3. Brazil 145.399
  4. Mexico 129.767
  5. Colombia 128.765
  6. Guatemala 121.633
All Around
  1. Isabella Ajalla (ARG) 50.934
  2. Andreza Lima (BRA) 49.666
  3. Mia Mainardi (ARG) 49.100
  4. Victoriane Charron (CAN) 48.466
  5. Tegan Shaver (CAN) 48.333
Argentina as super impressive, less than one point from Canada. However, Canada looks like they counted several falls (11.00, 11.533 on bars, 10.933 on beam)

Unfortunately the two leaders Ajalla (13.400 on beam!) and Mainardi are both 2008 and won’t be able to assist Argentina (should they make Worlds next year) as they aren’t eligible as seniors until 2024.
With them and the current team, Argentina might have a strong chance at qualifying a full team to Paris.

I do hope FIG goes back and revisits eligibility. Now that teams can only qualify to Worlds via continentals and now that they can only qualify to Olympics via Worlds, both held the year before the Olympics, the FIG really needs to allow 16 year olds that are eligible for Olympics the chance to compete and help their teams qualify to the Games.
 
USA once again goes 1-2-3 on vault, totaling 41.433, which is 2.566 more than the next best vault team, Argentina.
USA at 80.633, with big execution scores.
The team needs to average 11.045 on bars and beam for the win.

Pretty good news that this new group of juniors are hitting their routines and are rewarded for execution.
Bodes well for the future.
