Not a fan of the floor routine. All of her "dance" moves were basically her stomping a foot, skipping on her toes or awkwardly shaking her hips. Maybe it'll look better with the tumbling passes in it.

Gymnasts have to have an element that's low on the beam so that's why Skinner and Raisman do it.

NBC Olympics posted this morning that Gabby and Simone would only compete bars and beam

Aly and MyKayla should take notes from Shawn Johnson. She may not be the most elegant in her time on beam BUT she throws her skills with pure finesse. Best example- all her beam routines in Beijing

Jordan Chiles... your mom gave birth to you 4 months too late. Though, maybe it's a good thing because I can't handle any more talent in the pool for Rio.
ETA: Simone was in the exact same birthday shoes as Jordan, so maybe it'll work out for her.

Don't mind me talking to myself... but reminder the women start in 15 minutes! And Alexeeva (Junior AA champ) reminds me a lot of Nastia. I forgot how much I miss seeing the elegance and grace she brought to the meet since Team USA is majority powerhouse tumblers these days. And Morgan Hurd stood out to me today. She's just so cute and solid.
and I am obsessed with Aly's leo for tonight. It'd make such a great Rio leo

And I watched (slept through) juniors today

The juniors, overall, were very lackluster this year. I feel like last year I was into it and this year I was very uninterested. Most of them looked very unpolished and not ready for Nationals season.
At the risk of sounding extra creepy, does anyone know if an ex-CEA kid switched to gym? There was a girl from KPAC in NC that looks like an old SE member. Or maybe a sibling because I guess this girl was too young to have previously been on Senior Elite. @mstealtoyou maybe? or I've 100% lost it and am hallucinating.

I hate myself for knowing this, and I'm just assuming but her two older sisters cheered on SE. Kinsey Davis. Her (their ) dad was an Olympic gymnast.
I didn't notice her at the competition because I was asleep. (Which is why it's just an assumption you mean her.
It wasn't that I was uninterested. I was just tired (I came back from Nola this week, plus work etc) but I did notice a lot of poor flexibility and wobbling on beam

Yes. It was Kinsey Davis. She has a striking resemblance to whichever sister was a flyer on SE because I thought it was her and I thought the last name was familiar but I couldn't place her.
Oh, Aly :(

She's such a little peanut and I think her calmness/seemingly lack of nerves will really payoff big time for her. I could definitely see her inching out a veteran and sneaking on that Rio team.
