Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[skatfan]

NBC just discovered Joscelyn still exists.

Well to be fair she is strong on floor and vault.

So, clearly these girls in the two rotations coordinated and decided one group would wear leo 1 while the other wore leo 2 tonight. I'm guessing they'll switch it up for Sunday, lol.

So clearly USA Gymnastics told them what to wear


And did NBC show Simone’s response to her beam routine? Let’s just say if the word was said out loud NBC pays a fine


And did NBC show Simone‘s response to her beam routine? Let’s just say it the word was set out loud NBC will get it fine.

And I’m not following the logic that Kayla didn’t compete. She did one event. She’s in 15th on the leaderboard

True but they’ve confused themselves into almost random routines.

 

[Karen-W]

Tiana is putting herself in the mix!

 

[HeatherC]

Tiana did a nice job on that FX routine!

 

[HeatherC]

Jade and Simone coming up on FX which also means we should see Suni on beam soon too.

 

[Rukia]

It should be pointed out that Josc has the 2nd highest beam score so far

I think that the way Shilese can make a case for petitioning onto the team is because her UB score is the highest score of the meet whereas Kayla's vault score is not even close to being a contributing score.

 

[Spikefan]

Tiana is shining here.

I was going to mention that…

Sure, but her average across 3 scores so far is trash because of her Champs Night 1 beam score.

True, although the fact that the team is doing great on bars overall won’t help her if bars is all she can do

ok but alicia sacramone is literally lighting candles with every routine so things are wild

 

[Karen-W]

Tiana has a higher avg score than Josc on both BB and FX through 3 nights. Just sayin'...

Oh, jeez! Suni!!!!!! How did she stay on the beam?!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Beam trying to come for Suni

 

[HeatherC]

And I just had a freaking heart attack over Suni's beam but she stayed on and that's all that matters.

 

[Wyliefan]

I'm an every-four-years viewer so I'm mostly lurking here, but I just want to say Suni nearly gave me heart failure on that beam.

 

[Rukia]

see i told y'all that beam was bad simone was right to be mad at it

 

[FiveRinger]

Sam and John are already on my nerves. Can someone bring Kathy Johnson out of retirement? Find Shannon Miller? Have we run out of options?

 

[Karen-W]

Simone, Suni and Jordan are showing why the US women are WCs and the US men are happy to be bronze medalists. BB v PH - the women aren't afraid to tell that apparatus who's boss.

 

[HeatherC]

Suni will also be doing angry beam on Sunday night now.....LOL

 

[Spikefan]

Everyone sent Suni some spidey webs to stay on.

I really wanted Shilese on the team. I love her gymnastics. But, it's really risky at this point, especially with Suni's health history and Simone's history as well.

On Sunday, I think Leanne needs to change vaults and show what she would realistically really do at the Olympics.

 

[HeatherC]

The fact that Suni watched her friend get injured RIGHT at the start of this competition and yet she's been able to hold herself together through this competition is testament to her strength. I think Suni is gonna come out on Sunday and rock those routines.

Sadly, I agree. I never really picked an ideal team, buy I did have preferences. The injuries are making decisions for the selection committee, unfortunately.

What happened to Kayla DiCello? Did anyone ever say?

 

[Rukia]

i need taylor to drop rep tv in honor of Simone

 

[Karen-W]

1 small hop OOB for Simone but a really fabulous FX otherwise!

 

[HeatherC]

AND THAT IS WHY SHE IS THE QUEEN.

Bad fall on the vault - lower limb injury.

Love letter to floor.
