Yea, me neither. I wish to belief Alicia Sacramone and Chellsie Memmel to select the truthful workforce like they did at Worlds final yr however I’ve some… 

The Olympians! With Russia out there may be a few 000 1% probability the US lose the Gold medal this time. Even when Simone falls aside once more, the overscoring of gymnasts like Jade Carey will stop what occurred 4 years in the past from occurring once more. I’m satisfied that BFF’s Marta and Nellie Kim colluded to lowball US gymnasts like Grace Mccallum and Jordan Chiles and although they misplaced by so much, it wouldn’t have occurred if the type of the Russian ladies was as nitpicked as everybody on the US workforce sans Jade Carey’s was. Jordan Chiles is the one US gymnast with out quite a lot of kind points. Her scores ought to have represented that, however they didn’t. Previously, the Russians have complained about Nellie Kim favoring the US however that modified in 2021. Guess what I take into consideration that?

So… Will Marta and Nellie do the identical factor in 2024? There aren’t any Russians however Brazil has a two-headed monster that might compete with the very best US gymnasts if solely they’d a 3rd. It’s doable simply not possible, so….

Decide your pre, each meet Olympic workforce.

Listed below are your contenders…

Simone Biles- Shilese Jones- Leanne Wong, Skye Blakely- Joscelyn Roberson (Your 2023 world workforce)

Kayla Dicello, Jordan Chiles, Tiana Sumanasekera, Zoe Miller, Kaliya Lincoln, Katelyn Jong (Your 2023 Pan am workforce)

Hezly Rivera (overscored Wogaette) Kieryn Finnell, (Izzy Stassi (injured) Reese Esponda (Darkish horse) (Juniors turned Seniors)

Suni Lee, Gabby Douglas (comebacks)

Jade Carey (Judges on crack)

Lexi Zeiss ( Injured strolling)

The actual contenders are the Pan Am /World groups and Suni Lee however there may be all the time a darkish horse that comes out of nowhere like Reese who’s coaching some loopy stuff on ground. Gabby Douglas is all the time a contender with the judges ignoring her errors and the few issues she has proven have appeared nice however there have been like 3 issues and do not forget that Amanar hit at camp lies from final yr? Oh, and Grace McCallum has thrown some stuff currently that makes folks suppose she is coming again.

The primary two are just about locked bearing damage. Simone and Shilese. So that you construct from there. That normally means a 3rd AAer. And a Vault/Ground and Bars/Beam specialist.

Don’t rely out the juniors. The US judges love Hezley Rivera however she might want to improve to be in competition. Reese is throwing triple-backs in coaching on ground. She solely vaulted a 4.2 at Nationals final yr but when the AAer had two vaults they could skip a VT/FL specialist and take somebody with an excellent routine like Maroney’s Amanar. Or an excellent Zoe Miller bar routine.

Does anybody have any concepts? Somebody has to have some ideas?
