Martha has said her mind hasn't changed so I think Martha still is planning on taking her if she hits tomorrow. When I think long and hard about it the team should be Biles, Hernandez, Raisman, Kocian and Locklear if they want the highest score possible Locklear can bring much more than Skinner mathematically even if she isn't an AA. I think they should consider skipping having 4 vaults in prelims and just have 3 they'll all count but unless Kocian does her DTY there is no sense putting her up. They will get a much higher bars score and have the potential to win 2 UB medals with 2 athletes who could both win gold. If they did this I think it would look along the lines of:Gabby just doesn't look like she enjoying gymnastics at all right now. Her floor was blah, and she didn't even remotely try and stay on the beam on her L turn. Is going to the Olympics even what she wants at this point or is she feeling pressured and pushed into doing it?
i wouldnt say that necessarily, granted she isnt the shortest of the bunch but she doesnt look un healthy to me.
When I watched Ragan's choreo on floor, I felt like I watching an episode of toddlers and tiaras.

I am #TeamLaurie and absolutely think she should be a member of the Olympic team... but unpopular opinion time: I think she was grossly overscored last night. Looking at all of the girls who competed DTY, she has the highest score but I'd say hers was the least well-executed of the bunch. I also think her floor score seemed inflated.
I think either way she's top 3 AA for the US ( at least as long as Gabby is looking like Eeyore out there), but I do not think she will score that high internationally. They're potentially setting us up for another Jordyn Weiber-esque upset when she doesn't qualify for AA at the games because her scores will be back down to where they're supposed to be.
Also speaking of Laurie, I know she was out for two months prior to Classics so she's really just coming back from injury (and coming back beautifully, if I do say so myself), but I really wish she would have upgraded a pass or two in her floor routine.
i love gabby and everyone knows she is good, but i think if she doesnt have a MUCH better day 2, and marta still chooses her i can see that peeving some athletes and other coaches. I get they are choosing girls who they think will be the right fit for the olympics, but i see that as sending the wrong message to every other girl fighting for a spot.
i dont think gabby should get a free pass to bomb all over the place and still get a spot on the team.
did marta ever say anything after day one about gabby.
YES! Why are they all doing them? I don't understand how in the world they could score well. Instead of saying "oh wow, look how many times they're spinning" I find myself thinking "oh is she gonna make it, ew thats ugly, oh no that was a close one."For the most part I hate a wolf turn on the beam. I think they're hideous (Simone's included....especially Simone's actually). The arms flying all over just makes my skin crawl
It's the most "weebles wobble but they won't fall down" thing in the world for me
Anyway. This post is hilarious
