re: Remove

One other thing i forgot to mention, they reworked Chase Brocks bars. She no longer has that 1/2 pirouette on the high bar. She has a clear hip instead. She actually fell on her first dismount, but that was probably more of a fluke. With her execution on everything else (and of course she nailed the dismount later) i think it’s going to be hard for someone else to knock her out of that 6th bars spot. Her handstands and swings looked that good.

I’m really trying to remember everything else. I should have taken notes to share, but they’ll have another intrasquad in two weeks and I’ll try to actually capture notes for everyone.

Again, just remembering things, literally as i type, Ryan’s 1 1/2 did not impress on vault yesterday. She actually landing with her head turned in the opposite direction she is twisting (which is weird) but just makes me think she’s still getting lost in the air. (Edited: they’re probably coaching her to complete the full and spot the ground and then 1/2 turn. That would be why her head is facing opposite of the way she is twisting. I personally was never good at that. I just cranked whatever i was doing and knew how hard to pull. I know the technique they’re coaching is technically correct, but i take pride that neither Simone or Alex Mcmutry spotted when they did twisting elements too) Unless she really improves, i don’t see her in the lineup this year either. She did a really nice Yfull though that could have went for a 9.875 pretty easily.

If y’all think of anything else y’all want to know just ask. There’s still a part of me that doesn’t want to give too much away, since we know certain gymnastics blogs read our posts (because literally it’s verbatim in their posts sometimes) but Jay did a really good job of showing enough of his potential that it should scare everyone, but he definitely didn’t show his hand.

Why is Livie being held out and how did Alyona look? Thanks!

Jay was really transparent with why people were held back. But i missed his debrief after beam to find out about RC. Livie just had a fall on bars and she still had some soreness (nothing serious) so that’s why she was held out.

Like Tigerbait said, it’s about training smart. If a kid has some weird aches, let them get treatment and just rest.

I wonder how long things are gonna last with Kupets at Georgia.

1 year too long so far but that’s okay with me because with auburn and Kentucky getting better, and bama coming back, I can do without GA! Lol

Ashley Cowan has committed to LSU as well. Don’t know much about her but she will be a walk-on.

Anya Pilgrim (an elite from Hills Gymnastics) committed to Florida, I think she’s class of 2023. Hills is becoming a bit of a Florida pipeline.

Weren’t they trying to get Kylie Coen for this class (2023)? Maybe Anya got the spot after Kylie chose LSU

I'm loving Aleahs dismount on bars
