Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[HeatherC]

Awww, my heart hurts so much for Skye.

 

[Rukia]

I think they should have stuck with the original valuation of Leanne's vault. This is nothing against her but I don't think she gets the benefit of the doubt internationally.

 

[Karen-W]

She must have appealed because she got the 2 points back.

That's a gift. I'd bet she doesn't get the same sort of grace internationally.

 

[skatfan]

Omgosh, Shilese too?

 

[danafan]

So confusing when they showed Wong's vault on NBC and said "well done!" Looks like they reviewed and her score went up.

 

[Rukia]

Alicia Sacramone looks STRESSED

 

[HeatherC]

Alicia and Chellsie are gonna be SO stressed by Sunday night if they aren't already.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Good Lord - all of these injuries! Where are the gymgods? ?

 

[skatfan]

The whole team is in play except for Simone.

 

[Rukia]

Good Lord - all of these injuries! Where are the gymgods? ?

hopefully they're possessing that pommel horse for tomorrow

 

[Spikefan]

All that emotion, drama, sadness to stone faced Carey.

 

[FiveRinger]

I'm really tired of the cameras in these people's faces in these times of adversity. I was really pissed when they followed Athing Mu but they didn't have to replay Skye and Shilese's injuries. Telling us was enough

 

[Karen-W]

Solid beam from Jade!

 

[HeatherC]

Jade looks very ready for tonight.

 

[her grace]

Yay, Jade!

 

[ilovepaydays]

Is it true that they are using completely different equipment than what’s used internationally? Why is that not a bad idea? That wouldn’t make sense to me.

 

[Rukia]

I appreciate that Jade somersaults onto the beam like yes queen don't lose sight of that bad boy roll right on there

 

[Karen-W]

Is it true that they are using completely different equipment than what’s used internationally? Why is that not a bad idea?

Yes, the equipment for the Olympics is Gymnova but USAG has a sponsorship deal with Spieth, so they've been using Spieth equipment at all their meets.

 

[skatfan]

Jade and Jordan ready to take advantage. Could Kaliya Lincoln slip in?

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Alicia Sacramone looks STRESSED

Bruh, I would be, too.

People still in the mix:
Simone (lock)
Shilese (lock if healthy, but…)
Suni
Jade
Jordan
Leanne
And I would throw Kaiya Lincoln back in the mix, too.

 

[Karen-W]

Very solid bars for Leanne. Keeping herself in the mix.

 

[HeatherC]

I have always loved watching Leanne on bars and that was a beautiful routine.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Right now the team is looking like Biles, Carey, Chiles, Jones & Lee - with Jones as a huge question mark considering her own injuries. Those alternate spots are going to be CRITICAL.

This is what I have, too. These 5 are in the driver’s seat with Leanne and Kaliya trying to grab those spots from them.

 

[Karen-W]

Eeesh - Jordan nearly off the beam on the mount but saved it.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Getting out the crystals for Suni’s upcoming bars routine. ? ?

 

[Rukia]

Eeesh - Jordan nearly off the beam on the mount but saved it.

lol but now she looks like she wants to murder this beam which is good

 

[HeatherC]

Jordan is on tonight too!

 

[Karen-W]

lol but now she looks like she wants to murder this beam which is good

Yup! Big mad applause for the other Pac-12 gymnast here!

 

[Spikefan]

I’m so sressed.

 

[Rukia]

I'm not convinced Shilese is going to make it all the way to the Olympics
