I'm okay with that for two reasons. 1) Her vaults during podium still looked good, despite not having worked them fully in awhile. And 2) IMO, Kyla looks better on bars than Maroney, and if she's needed on floor and beam (highly unlikely I think) she looked ready today, despite that flukey fall on beam.
Really? I guess I thought they would use Kyla over Gabby in the 3 up 3 count for beam. I just think Kyla looks more polished and precise on beam, and Gabby tends to make some mistakes on her front aerial bhs layout series. Although, in podium training today they did do a mock line with Gabby after Kyla... I guess we will see after Sunday. Just hope everyone is healthy and performing to their best!
I think they'd use Gabby because her D score is higher. I guess, in my mind, it would depend on what the order of events are and whether or not they need the difficulty or the hit routine in order to secure a top spot in team finals. Now, I'm just a gym fan, certainly no expert, so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I'm assuming they need to submit their 'performance order', if you will, ahead of time... which wouldn't allow them to make changes based on whether they need the difficult or hit routine. Does anyone know how that works?Really? I guess I thought they would use Kyla over Gabby in the 3 up 3 count for beam.

Also, I'm so sad Larisa Iordache is out of the all-around. I was really wanting to see her and Romania do well.
Besides her though, Romania seems like they ain't playin' this year. I'm excited to see how this all turns out!!
For your question, I'm honestly not sure either. I believe they do submit an order ahead of time but I know that there has to be some flexibility to it because of the possibility of injuries.I think they'd use Gabby because her D score is higher.

As far as Larisa is concerned, based on recent tweets from their podium training, she did quite a few routines, and hit some, especially beam, which I would think would hurt her heel. I'm wondering if it's all a rouse and she actually will be competing. That could just be my cynicism coming out though
what is this??
