3 alternates? Hmm I was only expecting 2

Here's my impressions:
Nastia: Seriously could have done it. I wish she did too. That beam was basically on point, she looked AMAZING on bars until the end. Damn shame we won't see her again.
Alicia: Definitely showing everyone how to do beam, vault was gorgeous, but again, she won't make the team and that sucks.
Rebecca Bross: Bugs me seeing how easily her dismount could be fixed... She's throwing her feet out, rather then her heels back a bit more. If her heels were back a tiny bit more, she'd land. She'd be squatted, but she'd land. Good on bars though.
Aly Raisman: I'd pay to keep her off the team. The least aesthetically pleasing athlete I have ever seen compete in this sport, and I don't really care how high her floor and beam scores are, her bars were only .15 higher than Nastia who had multiple missed handstands, one resulting in .5 off and a fall on a watered down dismount.
Kyla Ross: I can't like her. A lot of talent, rather shaky (as usual), but she stayed on, and I'd bet she'll make the team. I just.. There's something about her I really cannot like.
Mckayla Maroney: I think she just about lost her spot because of beam and bars. I know she wouldn't necessarily be used for those events, but when it comes down to it, this team might have to decide between her and Gabby for beam, and I don't think Marta can count on her. Was rather surprised by her floor score though. Great for her.
Elizabeth Price: Definitely think she's taking Maroney's spot if she continues to do as well as she did tonight. I thought Maroney had a guaranteed spot, even with the accident at VISAs, until I saw how well Price did tonight.
Gabby Douglas: Obviously a lock on the team, not really worth going into detail about.
Jordyn Wieber: Again, lock on the team, no point talking about her. HER BROTHER THOUGH OMG.

I think Marta hinted HUGE at the start of the program. She wants Nastia on that team. She mentioned Aly, Jordyn, Gabby, and Nastia, and then said "the 5th spot is the hardest spot", and I know she didn't do that accidentally. I think Sunday is going to be THE decider about her, I truly do. It should be interesting.

ETA: What was Anna Li's bars score? Figured we'd have a repeat of VISAs where she puts up the highest bars score/second highest score recorded/highest bars score recorded in the world in a LONG time and we didn't see her.

waitt.....aly's going to london... i guess its cause she's that good!

Me too. why 3?..

 

[cheerforeverever]

waitt.....aly's going to london... i guess its cause she's that good!

Or because she's consistent.......

 

[SmileyRyleigh]

I thought Nastia would be chosen as an alternate if she didnt make it... i think tonight did it though. :(

 

[cheerislove8]

I'm so happy for the team and it's awesome, but I'm a little crushed that Aly and Alicia aren't going to the Olympics together :(

 

[INeverStopCheering]

I'm kinda sad for Sacramone too. I feel like she's one of those "always the bridesmaid... " girls

 

[cheersdominique]

I for one, love Aly Raisman and am extremely excited to see her in London!

 

[cheerdiva22]

After the competition today I'm really happy with the team, I just wish nastia could've pulled it out. :(

 

[Tate sherman]

Or because she's consistent.......

i dont think so...she's that good.
