I agree. Without Edwards and Edney at full strength, this team looks lost. I didn’t expect the fall from Ruby on vault. Rau clearly isn’t ready and it looks like she’s just filling a spot. Bars was okay but Edney was missed. I’m glad that Alyona finally hit her routine! Interesting that Kai wasn’t used on beam tonight. Glad that Desiderio was back but she still looks labored. All that wrapping worries me. Floor is still a mess. The double backs are what’s hurting the score.

Not sure if what DD and Jay have in store in terms of routine changes and composition, but clearly some things need to change.

Can we discuss Burgess’ 9.8 on beam with two major major balance breaks and a step on her dismount? I thought that would be a 9.65 at best and I’m really good at guessing the scores. That alone would have put the meet much closer. We still lost it on vault. Can’t even blame it on Edney and Edwards being out of the lineup because Rau and Ruby are usually in the lineup and let us down. Rau maybe should take some time to step back, she was rushed in. I thought the Nibbs vault was great. She can stick that and score big. Rau hasn’t shown a single vault that looks solid. I don’t even trust her to get in the 9.8s at this point.

And I’m just going to say it. Edney is looking thick. Probably just her body type but I think that has a lot to do with her being unable to handle the double Arabian anymore. It’s ok, though, just change the pass! DD is so damn stubborn. At least she came to her senses and took the front tuck out of Kiya’s beam routine. Now if she would only fix the other dozen easily fixable issues.
