Joscelyn Roberson idolized gymnast Simone Biles, and even met her as a child! Now she is her teammate, and her travel mate as they travel to Paris. Watch all four of her amazing routines at Olympic Trials.
She should have been selected for the team not alternate. I think they chose Hezley because she has the slender gymnast look. Not hating on her but I think Joscelyn would score higher in the events she would have competed in.
Their scores from the two days of trials were SO close-Hezly’s score was higher by less than two tenths! Hezly had an advantage on uneven bars, but Joscelyn on vault and floor. They were tied on balance beam. I think the selection committee just played it safe and went with the five highest scores. You do make a good point, though. I wondered the same.
She is so good! She does not have the typical body shape so that might be a factor in our superficial society. Speaking of superficial, can we all acknowledge that her dad is so fricking hot!
