@@fayeslover Did you read my comment? I said they would be SLIGHT favorites WITHOUT Simone but overwhelming favorites WITH her and that is a FACTUAL statement. Every other team will fancy their chances against a US team without Simone but will feel they are only competing for silver or bronze with her in the team.
@@marshajulessa2995Agreed Jordan is much cleaner than Kayla . I can’t understand why it’s even a discussion. Obviously they all have to hit but if they do Jordan has earned her spot.
@@samanthahough3202 I have not seen the real Jade yet. I want to see that you are fighting for your spot. I have not seen the 🔥in Jade and I like Jade’s demeanor- she’s very even keel.
Not this season, unfortunately. She used to be able to get by on her sky-high D scores, but her fire isn't there at the moment; I honestly think she's tired. NCAA plus elite is a LOT, and I totally respect and admire her for it, but it's understandable that she's a bit spent! I really was hoping for her sake that she'd get her team medal, but I'm just not seeing it at the moment unless Skye can't sustain the Cheng.
@@SweetSirenia No she never does full difficulty until Olympic trials, it was the same in 2021 (although she already secured her Olympic spot via the specialist route). Her coach/dad said she can easily add one more full twist to every pass on FX...
@UziZokal Obviously you haven't been watching. All the girls have been falling all over the place this season. There's a level playing field considering falls. The only person who has hit is Shilese, who is currently injured. You can blame this on USAG who's staff is running a shoddy operation compared to Marta. All the Olympic team candidates are not being invited to the national camps every month and hardly any Olympic candidates, if any, have been given recent international assignments which would have assessed whether they were ready and how they were scoring internationally. No one is overseeing routine construction and advising coaches. Also, a major tradition for predicting US Olympic outcomes, the American Cup meet, was completely eliminated as a competition this year. Everyone at USA gymnastics should be fired and replaced.
I think the team will be Simone, Shi, Suni, Jade and either Skye or Jordan whoever does better at trials for that last spot. Jade is about to upgrade her vault and floor routines for trials, she has been holding back. She also scores better with international judges than she does domestic judges. Floor: Simone, Shi, Jade Vault: Simone, Shi and Jade or Skye Bars: Simone, Shi, Suni Beam: Simone, Shi, Suni Alternates will be Jordan and Kayla I think
I'm looking forward to the day when Laurie Hernandez will be the main commentator for NBC gymnastics and if she can be paired with some younger, enthusiastic co-host who was a former, decent male gymnast we could have our own Tara-Johnny combo for gymnastics like they do for figure skating! Honestly, I'd love for them to bring over Dominique Dawes though. She's the most professional speaker gymnastics has ever produced.
I would pick Simone, Shilese, Jade, suni (i guess), and probably Jordan. If Skye can not be inconsistent and go 8/8 at trials, i would take her over Jordan.
Yeah Skye has to prove it that it wasn’t luck and that she’s actually consistent. Also she isn’t even consistent with her Cheng because Carey score better day 2. Jade has the consistency to back her up where Skye doesn’t.
@@BLACKBANDITO856 that's exactly my reasoning. Jade is also upgrading her dty to an amanar, which will inherently score higher. And I KNOW she wants redemption for her vault error in Tokyo and I really hope she gets that chance.
@@BLACKBANDITO856 I want very badly for Jade to get her fire back for Trials because I agree that she's a safer bet than Skye. I also want her to get a team medal! At the same time...I keep thinking about the individual events during the team competition and feel like the team is already too heavily skewed towards FX and VT, especially since Simone and Shi are expected to be on all four events. If you take Simone, Shi, Jade, and Suni, and then pick between Jordan and Kayla...I dunno. Skye would help with BB but Kayla, Jade, or Jordan really wouldn't.
@@SweetSirenia my thing is that Skye could do what she did at the other big competitions she has gone too and fall, which would then make her bb score not even worth it.
@@BLACKBANDITO856 I agree. I am not sold on her for VT the way others are. It was really smart strategy on her part to get into the mix, but it gives me an uneasy feeling. It's the kind of thing where I'd be comfortable using her on BB in a team final but not VT...and if that's the case, is she really needed? Not if Jade improves and Suni is definitely healthy.
@@omglauraelizabethWhat do you mean she is not at full difficulty? .We are like days from the Olympics.If you can't be at full difficulty now when can you ever be? I'm sorry I do love jade but I don't think she has what it takes to be an all grounder & perform consistently
@@Taureanfitnessit’s part of their plan for Jade all of her upgrades are being brought to trial so as to pace her and have her be at her peak right when trials occur
Muito triste essa olímpiada sem Shilese Jones, Skye Blakely, Kayla Dicello e Konnor Macclain, fora a lesão do ano passado que fez a Joscelyn perder desempenho e ir parar na reserva. O sistema da ginástica de elite dos EUA é muito cruel e descarta as ginastas como se fossem nada
