Summary
Winter Cup Developments
- Suni Lee is a late entry and wants to get the Jaeger full named after herself! Let's go!
- Watch her in our Training Camp update video here
- What expectations are fair for Gabby Douglas's performance here?
- Omens and Prophecies: What Winter Cup developments might function as a positive omen for gymnasts' Olympic prospects?
- What is a good score right now? What numbers should we be looking for at Winter Cup?
- The new seniors: Who has emerged from the junior ranks that we should keep an eye on
US Olympic Selection Procedures
- They're finally out! We discuss some encouraging developments and identify areas of potential controversy in the injury petition rules
- Someone can (theoretically) petition directly onto the Olympic team. Should that be allowed? And would that ever be used for anyone other than Simone?
- How might a two-event gymnast be taken into account for Olympic selection?
- How the open-ended women's procedures compare to the numerically specific men's, and how two selection procedures for the exact same thing can be so different
Cairo World Cup
- The first apparatus qualifier is in the books! We discuss the Heron, a huge result for Emma Malabuyo on floor, the state of New Zealand's Olympic spots, Nina Derwael's beam win, and...gasp...is Chuso in trouble?
