Gymnastics #25 - Onward to LA

NBC keeps getting thwarted from stalking Wong due to her continued attempts to flash her brand logo. Although they seem fine talking about her businesses during their fluff pieces.
 
Team seemed very likely to be Hezly, Leanne, Joscelyn, and Skye at the end of Nationals unless someone else won camp. Now there's a spot wide open. Jayla Hong is probably the most likely to grab it.

I wish someone would get Hezly away from Valeri Liukin, but it certainly won't be her dad.

Agree on Jayla. Claire probably has a chance too. (Plus Liukin :blocjudge)

She posted a bit ago that she is out with a rolled ankle too.

I just saw that. Bizarre, so similar to Hezly’s announcement. I’d say Jayla is practically a lock considering her early season results.

Question for someone who doesn't check in regularly and know the team composition #s, but how many gymnasts will be on the World team this year? Is it back down to 4 or still 5?

It’s an individual Worlds - no team event, just AA and individual events. So for Women it is 4, and for Men it is 6, same as the number of events. Only 3 can go on each event in qualifying.

For Women, we will expect to see 2 on AA, then probably Skye on UB, BB and someone else on VT, FX.

Okay! Thank you for the explanation!

I would say that if Jayla can beat Josc in AA at camp, the team would likely be:
AA: Leanne, Jayla
UB, BB: Skye
VT, FX: Josc

That being said, Josc watered down her vaults at nationals to try to save her ankles, so that's a little questionable. But honestly, there's no reason not to send her.

If Jayla looks more like she did at nationals, the picture is much murkier. Almost no one vaulted twice at nationals, not even Josc. Jayla does have a second vault, but she's not a logical floor specialist. Ashlee Sullivan actually finished 3rd on floor behind Hezly and Josc at nationals and has good start values. Again, I think she has a second vault, so she's potentially in the mix for that spot.

Either way, this team for the US is not likely to bring home a lot of medals. There's a lot of work to do in the next four years, especially on start values.

It's honestly very weird that both WOGA gymnasts "rolled their ankles" and withdrew at about the same time with similar statements.
 
I was surprised that a rolled ankle in mid-September would prevent Hezley from competing in late October. More than a month to recover should be enough, especially since it is basically an individual meet and she doesn’t need to do AA.
