Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[peibeck]

Beam is the pommel horse for ladies.

 

[HeatherC]

Sometimes it's those darn leaps and turns that can make beam a nightmare.

 

[HeatherC]

Kayla's stock continues to go way up tonight.....

 

[canbelto]

Oh shit Leanne off beam too

 

[Karen-W]

Oh no! Leanne's off the beam too! Beam is cursed the way the bars were at Classic a couple weeks ago.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Kayla's stock continues to go way up tonight.....

Yeah, she's looking like the Kayla that had me saying she was going to the Olympics, unlike at classics.

 

[Rukia]

my confidence in Skye getting through a clean beam is lowering at this point lol

 

[HeatherC]

Leanne on beam is just gorgeous but dang, she's off too now!

Really glad that Simone got beam out of the way early now.

 

[canbelto]

Leanne's bitchface rivals Scary Bab's

 

[Karen-W]

And a terrible dismount for Leanne too - big step forward and almost off the mat.

 

[HeatherC]

throws some pixie dust on the beam to get rid of the bad mojo

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Leanne's biggest argument for inclusion is consistency. She's not changing my feeling that she's falling out of the conversation.

 

[Spikefan]

She just gave up on that dismount, not a good look.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Starting to light a candle for Suni’s beam routine in the (I think) next rotation. ?️

Agreed. Kayla's beating her in that discussion by a country mile.

 

[HeatherC]

Pleasantly surprised at how many routines we're seeing tonight and if they want to add even a few more somehow, I wouldn't be upset.

 

[peibeck]

I blame the horrible 80's bow in Leanne's bun for causing all those wobbles and splat off the beam.

Skye’s Cheng forward and crunchy tonight. Not as much of a statement as last night. She needs to hit beam, which is he other asset.

Skye is quite good on bars, although we may be taking a team that is already great on bars.

 

[HeatherC]

Glad that Shilese is in good spirits and I really hope she's in great form by Trials.

 

[Lara]

That beam was bad enough to have probably removed Leanne from contention.

 

[HeatherC]

That green leo is gorgeous!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Shilese’s should probably feels better because she isn’t doing bars. (Hey doc it hurts when I do this, yada yada)

 

[HeatherC]

Way better FX from Jocelyn tonight.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That beam was bad enough to have probably removed Leanne from contention.

I think she was approaching out at that point, but the beam may have been the nail in the coffin. She looks like she knows it, too.

 

[Karen-W]

Decent floor for Roberson. I feel like her time is 2028 though, not this year.

 

[Frau Muller]

I hate seeing temporary mats on the floor, then seeing the coaches moving them out of the way. Is this a new trend?

 

[HeatherC]

Putting together a team for the women doesn't give me as much of a headache as putting together one for the men, LOL

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I don't think that Shilese necessarily does AA in team finals this year, NBC.

Also, Jade would have to improve her floor to count as a great floor and vault. Right now it's just great vault.

Jordan's 14.1 on floor is a help for sure as far as putting herself in back conversation.

 

[HeatherC]

I wonder if Terry's skating coverage background is the reason he says Tiana's last name so well, LOL
