What is holding her back from being on beam this season? I know she had surgery a while back but was told that she is doing fine. I hope it isn't the freshman thing with Jay.

I was at that meet! Little Rock, AR! Still breaks my heart that Sarah fell on bars.

Just want to know everyone’s thoughts on this: *If Livvy is healthy enough to compete bars this season, who do you take out of the lineup? I would say either Elena or Alyona. Elena’s crazy pak doesn’t get deducted enough because the judges cannot see it from the side. No need to dwell on Alyona’s dismount.

I think Tori had a big improvement from last week and I think Alexis has solidified her spot in the lineup.

I mean I think it has to be Alyona at this point, three of her four scores on bars this season are 9.775, 9.675, 9.775. Judges are really going after her dismount. If they changed her dismount I may have a different stance. Not trying to dwell on that but her score could be significantly different if it was changed to something cleaner or more doable for her. I put that issue on the coaches and not Alyona. Judges can technically take up to .200 off the dismount alone or downgrade the skill which would alter the start value of her routine.

Elena is hitting handstands very well and staying in the 9.8 range right now which is good. I just wish there was some type of fix for her pak but I don't know if there is any true solution to fix it. At the least I am hoping they find a way to minimize the leg separation on the pak to something not as significant. I would take regular 9.85's at this point from her, with Haleigh, Aleah and Jeffrey scoring well enough to give LSU a competitive bars rotation.


I was pleased with the improvement by Tatum from her first time out. Just continue to focus on hitting those vertical positions on handstands.

I haven’t heard about this story. Why is it LSU’s fault?

Seriously, keeping the dismount is just DUMB at this point. Besides the form, she has not stuck it yet this season. Her scores could be easily in the 9.9s with a giant full to a double tuck. I really don't know what Jay is thinking.

I really like how the bar squad is shaping up. Tori looked much better Friday, and that’s a routine I would keep in. We haven’t seen Livvy’s dismount, and she wasn’t getting the best scores last year because of it. However, when she comes back, I would say Alyona should come out sadly.

I’m most concerned about beam at this point. Also, there doesn’t appear to be any floor depth whatsoever.

Speaking of floor depth - I know she had some struggles last year, but given her improvement in recent weeks, I wouldn’t be opposed to giving Elena a chance at it, especially if Chase can’t gain some consistency.

Does anyone know if Alexis is working floor? She has such clean lines and did well on the elite circuit.

Well hopefully they get Bryce back soon so she can start to develop on beam (and hopefully floor)

I am still boggled by the fact that Alexis isn’t an option on beam - does she have some sort of nagging leg injury? Her form will be similar to Aleah’s with them both coming from gage - anyone have any information on that?

I wonder the same. I was hoping someone would ask at the press conference if she's been training other events. Her beam could be very useful, although she got hit really hard by the judges for the undeprslit leaps in elite - it's still probably better than what we have now

She's training a full on vault, so I would think that she should be healthy enough for beam.

saw we moved up to #8 in the rankings now. Man the Mizzou meet would have been incredible if it wasn't for the floor.

Yay another full (Eyeroll). I’m sure we could have her training other events. She seems like she would be a good 2 pass routine for floor or good on beam. Elena seems like she would be okay on floor with 2 passes as well.

He talked about Olivia going on floor when she’s ready. I was happy to hear that. Hopefully she will be cleared soon!

He mentioned Tori's vault so I hope she will soon make the lineup giving us another 10 vault.

I feel like he is never going to get rid of Elena’s full, but man it would be great if we could have 5 10.0 starts. Also it sounds like Tori is a gamer even if her practice isn’t always great - maybe just give her a shot to see?
