Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

LMAO - I love how she just throws her hands up in annoyance and dismay with the beam as she leaves the podium after her dismount. That beam!
 
This is the first season where I haven't been fully vested. But I don't envy the selection committee.

As a side note, it might just be smart to take Leanne for the consistency and experience.
Just another aside, Leanne deserves a break. Wasn't she an alternate in Tokyo but didn't get to compete because her roommate had Covid? That's enough for me to root for her
 
Can anyone remember what Josc got at Worlds last year (if she did beam in prelims)? I am trying to remember how she scores internationally on that event. I know she gets hammered on bars but I feel like she scored okay on beam.
She just did vault and floor in prelims
 
Don't hate me for saying this, but Jade is hard to watch. She always looks so bored, like she can't be bothered, I don't care what she's doing. There's a difference between calm and bored. She always looks like she wants to be anywhere but where she is.
Total opposite for me, I find her calm and not frantic and measured in movements. Seems a leap to me to take her calm demeanor to mean she doesn’t care?
 
Chiles isn't doing herself any favors for competing the AA in prelims though, with that beam score - that's twice now between Nats & Trials that she's missed beam. Jade has a better 4-score and 3-score average than Jordan.
 
I just can’t see taking Leanne. I really like her, but honestly, how much would consistency matter if she’s not going to contribute on any apparatus in team finals?
I think the only logic for taking her would be to have someone who is experienced who can step in if there are injury/illness problems. (I wouldn't want her on vault at this point, though.)

Partly because I think the judges would like them more than Joscelyn and partly because I prefer their gymnastics, I'm pulling for Hezly or Tiana. But, I have a bad feeling it's going to be Joscelyn.
 
Remind me, how does she score internationally? I’m trying to say this nicely, but she had all the hallmarks of someone who would be absolutely destroyed by an international panel. I’m blanking on what they did with her at worlds last year though? Did she even do beam in quals?
Just because she has a different body shape? They used to say that about Shawn Johnson and she got the medals and accepted by Judges as hopefully they judge them on what they do and not how they look!

Roberson never actually competed at Worlds in the 3 up, 3 count format. Her injury occurred in warmup prior to the start of team finals, so she only competed FX and VT in qualifying. She finished 2nd to Tiana on BB at the 2023 Pan Ams.
