Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Theatregirl1122]

Yes, I know. We're discussing what the rules should allow. John is pretty much saying that he wouldn't choose this team if the math didn't compel it.

OK, it didn’t sound like that’s what you were saying to me, which is why I responded.

LOL - Sam just listed the only four women in contention for that last spot on the WAG team!

I wonder if Khoi or Yul or someone could file an injury petition and that could push them to discretionary?

How much can someone realistically heal and be ready to go in basically a month’s time?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I think she would need to show that she consistently does that, and it sounds like she hasn't. IMO, she should do a vault tomorrow that the powers that be would feel comfortable putting in a team final.

I didn’t specify which vault. Just both hands on.

 

[Rukia]

ok here's my new decision: Khoi and Yul are traveling alternates and instead of competing they just go to Paris and have a good time

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Guys the last day of trials is literally from like 12:30am - 3:00am Iceland time. What do I do???

Have you considered that, instead of anyone competing, they could just give medals to your faves?

Don’t think small.

watch one rotation and get the vibes to see if it's worth staying up

 

[Karen-W]

Looks like Khoi and Shane are alternates...

i don't want to say you're a genius but also maybe you are

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Khoi and Shane are both in line to go out. Was Yul?

Oh, come on... She's been with me on the CarPon train since the beginning. We don't EVER think small!

She’s not wrong

 

[Karen-W]

Didn't see him there but I don't think we saw all of the guys in the line.

NBC kinda upping their fluff game after about a decade of none. Not mad about it.

 

[skipaway]

I would hope they could text their parents ahead

 

[Theatregirl1122]

The script for this announcement is so cringe

 

[Rukia]

paul hamm i hardly recognized you

Right?! I want to see this for Figure Skating in 2026. NBC and USFS need to make this a production!!!!

 

[Karen-W]

Paul Juda - first announced

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Paul’s family looks like they didn’t expect this at all.

 

[Karen-W]

Asher Hong out next followed by Stephen Nedoroscik.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Ugggghhhhhhhh. Welp, it’s going to really suck if Nedoroscik blows team finals.

 

[Rukia]

i have to say it is truly dark times in yulnation right now

 

[ptvvibezz]

Tomorrow’s team selection will be the death of me

 

[Karen-W]

Traveling alternates - Khoi Young & Shane Wiskus

 

[canbelto]

Aww the two alternates look like they've been crying

 

[ilovepaydays]

Good Lord, Paul Hamm still seems so insufferable.

 

[Allskate]

Congrats to these guys, but it's really not the team I wanted, and I feel so bad for some of the other guys.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Honestly, I know it’s an honor to be a traveling alternate, but it’s kind of brutal every year to send them out and have them stand with the people who made the team knowing they were so close
