re: Why is Haleigh Bryant not on the U.S. Olympic team?

It's actually a fair comparison as far as level of difficulty goes, once you factor in the other variables.

I'm not saying college gymnastics is as hard as the Olympics, I'm just saying you have Olympic gymnasts competing in college. You don't have the very best MLB players just choosing to play in AA baseball.

Training for college gymnastics and the Olympics is not ideal and very hard, but girls are doing it now.

Suni Lee, Leanne Wong, Jade Carey, and other potential members are/have competed in college and trained for the Olympics. I think Konnor McClain will be someone who ends up making an Olympic team while at LSU.

I'm not saying the ideal age for a gymnast is the age of a college senior, I'm just talking about the level of the top talent.

And it's not like the US gymnasts are the only gymnasts in the world. Aleah Finnegan is an Olympic gymnast and Haleigh Bryant is a much better gymnast all around than Aleah, that can't be argued. If Haleigh could have some other nationality eligibility she 100% is good enough to be in the Olympics. The US gymnastics team is just insanely good right now.
