Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

Did the beam feed die for anyone else?4

nvm, refreshing brought it back

 

[ptvvibezz]

YES Hezly!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Hezly coming through on beam at the right moment

 

[Karen-W]

That was a really nice, solid beam routine from Hezly. That could very well seal her spot on the team.

 

[danafan]

Well I take back what I said earlier. Rivera looks like she fits the bill for the fifth spot and I think it's hers now. I happily admit when I'm wrong.

 

[canbelto]

You know Simone is awesome and all, but I really wish they could not tie EVERYTHING to Simone ...

 

[HeatherC]

Simone being one of Suni's biggest cheerleaders and supporters is the most adorable and lovely thing ever.

 

[peibeck]

Hezly's talent is obvious but she still needs a bit more confidence to sell me on giving her that fifth slot.

 

[honey]

I think that might have sealed it for Hezly. Super solid.

 

[Karen-W]

Well I take back what I said earlier. Rivera looks like she fits the bill for the fifth spot and I think it's hers now. I happily admit when I'm wrong.

I think it's between Hezly and Tiana. They both have pretty decent beam average scores. Tiana has the edge on floor - which could be a factor - she's scoring higher than Jordan on FX.

Also - this does not negate me wanting Leanne to make the team, just that I have competing interests for that 5th slot, lol.

 

[Spikefan]

I will regret this so much on tomorrow morning’s puffin cruise.

Just nap until someone nudges you that there are puffins.

 

[skatfan]

She beat Simone on bars today. I agree it’s looking good for her.

 

[Tesla]

I will regret this so much on tomorrow morning’s puffin cruise.

You will regret it after the puffin cruise.

 

[Allskate]

You know Simone is awesome and all, but I really wish they could not tie EVERYTHING to Simone ...

Simone being one of Suni's biggest cheerleaders and supporters is the most adorable and lovely thing ever.

I like the camaraderie and support we see between a bunch of the women. And it's not just with Simone.

 

[Sarah]

Hezly did great. For whatever reason, I can’t warm up to her gymnastics. Maybe I’m just too much of a Tiana fan.

And this was my prediction after the exit of Shi

 

[Theatregirl1122]

That’s a BIG beam score for Hezly. That might have given it to her.

I agree it’s between Hezly and Tiana

 

[museksk8r]

Hezly's talent is obvious but she still needs a bit more confidence to sell me on giving her that fifth slot.

Right! She’s never competed in a Pan Ams, Worlds, or Olympics. Her mental fortitude under pressure at a major international has never been tested and she does still look like a junior competitor.

 

[ilovesalchows]

I don’t see Jocelyn and Jade on the same team.

 

[canbelto]

You know I just noticed that Tiana and Simone kind of look alike ...

 

[beckab81]

Hezly did great. For whatever reason, I can’t warm up to her gymnastics. Maybe I’m just too much of a Tiana fan.

I prefer Tiana's gymnastics, but agree that Hezly is likely to get the slot.

 

[Karen-W]

That is one rough score on bars for Tiana - putting her on the team would mean Jade goes up on bars in the prelims - which is fine, but still...

 

[skatfan]

Whoa Josc just tied Jordan on bars

 

[ilovepaydays]

Oooohhhh! Tiana REALLY needs to work on those handstands on bars.

 

[Allskate]

I just don't enjoy Joscelyn's gymnastics as much. She looks sloppy. Leg separations, etc. And, yeah, I know that Tiana doesn't hit her handstands, but I just enjoy watching her much more.

 

[Aaron MB Fan]

Sorry but I can’t get behind an unproven in international competition newly minted senior with their first major test at the Olympics. Recipe for disaster. I’m still scarred over Canada doing that with Ava Stewart in the last Olympics and how horrific that turned out.

 

[canbelto]

Tiana's bar routine is very 1992. Basic swings, not much inbars work. Clean.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I think Jade Carey is my Amber Glenn of gymnastics

 

[beckab81]

Oooohhhh! Tiana REALLY needs to work on those handstands on bars.

It's SOOOOOO much better than 2 years ago!

 

[Rukia]

That is one rough score on bars for Tiana - putting her on the team would mean Jade goes up on bars in the prelims - which is fine, but still...

That's a pretty good score for Tiana lol she would never be put on for bars at all
