According to the USAG site, there's supposed to be a live feed here: Federazione Ginnastica d'Italia - YouTube

I'm eager to see how Aly and Gabby look.

Since we're updating, here is an article Jordyn Wieber wrote about her retirement earlier this month

I'm SO excited to see how Bailie Key stacks up against the veteran seniors! I've been rooting for her for years.

 

[fiercerando88]

Live feed is up and I'm anxiously awaiting the meet to actually start!

Americans looking solid on vault so far!!

Returning Olympians looked great. Aly looked like her floor and beam are 90% back to Olympic routines. Gabby was consistent I'm sure she'll be working to connect some of her skills back on bars.

Bailie winning 2nd gives me great hope of her this year and next. Kyla had a bit of a rough day today especially on floor. She seems to be falling off for me lately.

Not sure what you mean by original gym. She grew up in VA (trained at 2 different gyms there I think?), then moved to Iowa to train with Chow. After the Olympics she moved to LA (trained at Waller's), then back to Iowa (Chow's), and now is in Ohio at Buckeye Gymnastics. So no not back to her original gym, but she was back at the gym that made her famous for a while.

I've been so behind on anything gymnastics related that it was through a YouTube comment I found out Catalina Ponor recently came out of retirement. I've always loved her floor and beam routines, she has the most elegant leg lines and overall just exudes artistry when she performs:

Also, it's nice to see more female gymnast in their 20s still training competitively. I'm hoping with proper training techniques = longer career span of a gymnast. Though, Ponor has been out of the game for awhile now, so I'll keep my excitement contained.... still recovering from Nastia 2012.

Again, I'm behind , but another one of my favourite floor specialist who's also in her 20s - Ksenia Afanasyeva. She's no power house like Simone Biles, but I have so much appreciation for the exquisite form of her leaps and turns. Definitely a podium contender for Worlds, and potentially, Rio:
