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?
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 ;) Besides her though, Romania seems like they ain't playin' this year. I'm excited to see how this all turns out!!
