USA gymnasts to Worlds?
May 21st, 2013 — Gymnastics
Beautiful Gymnastics continues a series analyzing the top teams vis-a-vis Worlds 2013.
The U.S. of America is toughest.
The team is so deep that at least a dozen different gymnasts have a chance for selection. It will probably come down to which are healthy and consistent at the right time.
Beautiful G assumes two all-arounders will be sent. The other two selected based on best chance for medals on apparatus:
Simone Biles- AA, VT, FX, UB and BB attempts (wildcard for both)
Kyla Ross- AA, UB, BBKatelyn Ohashi- BB
Ebee Price- VT, FX
There’s no Team competition at Worlds 2013.

Price
If Jordyn Wieber is back she’d more likely be the second all-arounder.
Mykayla Skinner could go as a specialist. But she’s not now on the national team.
