Some notes
There is podium training prior to competitions. Athletes are on site and doing podium training already. The podium is where all the events take place so they are on the podium with all the equipment set up as it will be for competition - sort of like Friday walk throughs on the field for football.
Unlike football, podium training gets a lot of attention. Judges, coaches, press, lot of people are out there.
Most of the info below is straight from usagymolympictrials.com
Women's team notes Stacked with talent
Five women are selected for the team. There are 4 alternates. 2 traveling and 2 non-traveling.
The last two Olympic all-around gold medalists highlight an incredibly deep women’s field as the U.S. looks to upgrade the team silver it won at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Already a seven-time Olympic medalist across two Games and a 30-time World Championships medalist, 2016 Olympic all-around champion Simone Biles looks to join Muriel Grossfeld, Linda Metheny and Dominique Dawes as the only American women to compete in three Olympic Games. The Twin Cities crowd will find hometown hero in 2020 all-around gold medalist and uneven bars bronze medalist Suni Lee of St. Paul, who is showing her finest form since Tokyo after overcoming kidney disease.
Competition for the five-woman roster is by no means a two-woman race. Jade Carey is the defending Olympic gold medalist on floor exercise and is a seven-time World medalist, including winning the 2022 vault gold medal. Jordan Chiles has a 2020 team silver on her resume and won silver on vault and floor at the 2022 World Championships. One of the world’s most consistent performers the last three years, Shilese Jones is a six-time World medalist, including owning two medals in both the all-around and uneven bars. The 2024 Core Hydration Classic silver medalist, Jones looks to be in top form in Minneapolis after resting a shoulder injury at the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships last month in Fort Worth.
Adding intrigue are two University of Florida teammates, 2023 Pan Am Games all-around gold medalist Kayla DiCello and four-time World medalist Leanne Wong. First-time Olympic Trials qualifiers include 2023 World team gold medalist Joscelyn Roberson, 2023 Pan Am Games team gold medalists Kaliya Lincoln and Tiana Sumanasekera, and top young seniors Dulcy Caylor, Eveylynn Lowe, Zoey Molomo, Hezly Rivera and Simone Rose.
Men's team notes
I believe the men also have 5 team members with 2 traveling and 2 non-traveling alternates.
After an inspiring World Championships team bronze medal in Antwerp in 2023, hopes are high for the men’s team that will ultimately be selected to compete in Paris. The members of that 2023 Worlds team, Asher Hong, Paul Juda, Yul Moldauer, Frederick Richard, Khoi Young and traveling replacement athlete Colt Walker, all hope to be a part of an Olympic roster that will aim to win the U.S. men’s first team medal at the Games since 2008.
2022 World high bar gold medalist Brody Malone, who won his third career U.S. all-around title this June in Texas, has his eyes set on his second Olympic team spot after rallying from a knee injury that threatened to end his career in 2023. A 2020 Olympian, Malone shared the stage in Tokyo with Shane Wiskus of Spring Park, Minn., and Moldauer. All three will try to make their second Olympic teams.
Young (age 21), Richard (20) and Hong (20) comprise an exciting trio of young athletes, while Juda is just 22 years old and Malone 24 years old. Among the 2023 World Championships team are the last six NCAA all-around champions, including Young (’24), Richard (’23), Juda (’22), Malone (’21 and ’19) and Moldauer (’18 as well as ’16). Richard is the 2023 World all-around bronze medalist while Young claimed silver in both vault and pommel horse, becoming the first U.S. man since 1979 to win multiple apparatus medals at a single World Championships.
Experience also will be served in Minneapolis. At 29 years old, seven-time U.S. apparatus champion and 2016 Olympic alternate Donnell Whittenburg will be the oldest gymnast on the floor as well as one of the most accomplished. Cameron Bock and three-time U.S. still rings champion Alex Diab also hope to land on the men’s Olympic Team after holding Olympic alternate status for the 2020 Games. 2021 World pommel horse champion and four-time U.S. titlist Stephen Nedoroscik looks to secure his team spot as a specialist on the apparatus, while 2023 Pan Am Games team and parallel bars champion Curran Phillips contends for his first Olympic Team. A lineup of collegiate and college-committed gymnasts on the men’s side are also in the mix, including 2024 NCAA high bar champion Tate Costa, 2024 NCAA pommel horse champion Patrick Hoopes, Fuzzy Benas, Jeremy Bischoff, Josh Karnes, Kiran Mandava and Kai Uemura.

Podium training updates One bad injury update
- Suni Lee, who has been battling some health issues, ran out of the competition area feeling nauseous. Only mention this because she had a lot of issues with kidney problems, actually developing two separate issues, iirc, so it's been difficult for her. I don't know if she felt sick, like the flu, or if it was due to medications or what but there appear to be no problems going forward.
- Shilese Jones, has had a shoulder problem and no one is quite sure how she's going to perform. She has been considered a lock for the team, so this could be important.
- Jordan Chiles seemed to be hurt a little bit during podium training on the floor, but I think she essentially shook it off and no problems going forward that I'm aware of.
- Skye Blakely, with a great chance to be on the team, tore her achilles during podium training, so she's out. This is the worst news so far that I'm aware of.
I've heard of no significant news on the men's side from podium training, and their competition gets started today.

7 Olympic medals (4 gold)
30 World Championships medals (23 gold)
32 U.S. championships, including 9 all-around titles
Other-Worldliness
The U.S. is coming off of an incredibly successful showing at the 2023 World Championships. Highlights from Antwerp are listed below.
Women:
Record seventh-straight team title for U.S. women, breaking the streak of 6-straight wins previously shared with China’s men’s team
Simone Biles:
With five medals in Antwerp, became the most decorated gymnast in World Championship and Olympic competition (37), eclipsing the total of 33 owned by Vitaly Scherbo of Belarus.
Brought her career World Championships medal haul to 30 (23 gold, 4 silver, 3 bronze).
Remained unbeaten in World Championships all-around and floor exercise competition, taking her sixth titles in each event.
Performed her fifth career eponymous skill in Antwerp. The Yurchenko double pike vault is now known as the Biles II.
Shilese Jones was a repeat medalist in the team, all-around and uneven bars competitions, finishing with three medals in at these championships, bringing her career medal total to six.
Men
The four medals won by the U.S. is their largest medal tally since 2013, when they also won four.
First men’s team medal since 2014.
Khoi Young became the first man to win three medals at a single World Championships since Paul Hamm in the 2003 and the first to win multiple individual apparatus medals since Kurt Thomas and Bart Conner in 1979.
Young became the youngest-ever U.S. medalist on both pommel horse (20 and 291 days) and vault (20 and 292 days).
Young’s vault silver was the first medal for the U.S. in the event since 2015 (Donnell Whittenburg, bronze).
Fred Richard won the first men’s individual all-around medal since 2010 and became the first U.S. man to win a team and all-around medal since Paul Hamm in 2003.
At 19 years and 165 days during the all-around final, Richard became the youngest-ever U.S. medalist in any men’s event at the World Championships.
Miscellaneous Notes
In 2004 at the Athens Olympics, the US won the All-Around in both men's (Paul Hamm) and women's (Carly Patterson) competitions.
Starting with Patterson, and her team in Athens, since 2004 the US women's team has not finished worse than 2nd at the Olympics and the US women have produced the All-Around champion in 5 consecutive Olympics, and with Simone as dominant as she's been, it could be 6 in a row this year.
2004 - Carly Patterson
2008 - Nastia Liukin
2012 - Gabby Douglas
2016 - Simone Biles
2020 - Suni Lee
2024 - ?
Since 2005 the women's team has produced 11 of 15 of the All-Around world titles and 8 of 10 world team titles. They are clearly the most dominant gymnastics program on the planet right now.
- Suni Lee, who has been battling some health issues, ran out of the competition area feeling nauseous. Only mention this because she had a lot of issues with kidney problems, actually developing two separate issues, iirc, so it's been difficult for her.

Starting with Patterson, and her team in Athens, since 2004 the US women's team has not finished worse than 2nd at the Olympics and the US women have produced the All-Around champion in 5 consecutive Olympics, and with Simone as dominant as she's been, it could be 6 in a row this year.
2004 - Carly Patterson
2008 - Nastia Liukin
2012 - Gabby Douglas
2016 - Simone Biles
2020 - Suni Lee
2024 - ?
Since 2005 the women's team has produced 11 of 15 of the All-Around world titles and 8 of 10 world team titles. They are clearly the most dominant gymnastics program on the planet right now.

Any predictions?
I think with Skye out the team will look like:
Simone
Suni
DiCello
Jordan
Jade
DiCello keeps putting up good scores. I'm worried about Shilese Jones and that shoulder.
The Ragan Smith youtube channel (it's not Smith, just a fan) picked Simone, Shilese, Skye, Suni, Jade. Two of those could be out due to injury.
From nationals, all-around:
Women
All-Around
1. Simone Biles -- 119.75
2. Skye Blakely -- 113.85
3. Kayla DiCello -- 110.8
4. Suni Lee -- 110.65
5. Jordan Chiles -- 110.4
6. Hezly Rivera -- 110.35
7. Jade Carey -- 109.3
8. Leanne Wong -- 108.65
9. Tiana Sumanasekera -- 108.55
10. Joscelyn Roberson -- 108.2
With Skye out that means DiCello is #2 in all-around, and if that holds, I don't know how you keep her off the team. Suni #3, Jordan #4. Shilese would normally be #2, but I don't know how her shoulder is doing.
No idea how this ends up. I've been rooting for Jones to win gold on bars in Paris, but this injury is an issue.

That’s kind of similar to what I was thinking, but I didn’t know if we’d go more bars and beam focused for the last spot instead of taking Jade.
We should still be favored to win but the Skye injury hurts a lot. She was the clear #2 at Nationals (w Shilese out)

How are we always so bad at the Pommel?

Hopefully Simone decides now if she wants to quit or not

Men's gym is always hit or miss with the US. Just not a thing here. Took a long time to get the women's side going. Maybe it will all click eventually on the men's side.

I'll see if I can DM her and find out what her plans are. I have a feeling she's about to win 3-4 more gold medals.

Some people care about the leotards...I don't care, so long as they look American and sport our colors. This is a sample of what will be at the competition.

And she's back.
Maybe some pain meds or freeze spray?
Twitter said she went down and looked like a knee injury. Hopefully false alarm.
Just saw more bad news...
