As rumoured …
On Monday during the World Team Selection Camp, Mackenzie Caquatto of Naperville, Ill./Legacy Elite, sustained a bi-lateral ankle sprain from a low landing on a beam dismount. She is responding well to treatment, according to Larry Nassar, the women’s team physician. …
She’s left camp already. @MackMackoo
Accidents happened. Gymnastics is a dangerous sport. The timing of this one is really unfortunate, though.

sorry the updates from the Ranch have been a little less detailed than normal. We have been told what happens at the Ranch is to stay at the ranch thus we are not supposed to post the verification scores. All I can say is USA is looking good and Jordyn is doing very well.
Larry Nassar on Facebook:
Wednesday is the final selection for the World and Pan Am teams. Ready for a very exciting day. Too much detailed information being sent out on Tweets and Facebook so will be keeping things limited.
Is such secrecy necessary?
I’m not sure. Rumours leak out anyway, especially to Aunt Joyce. And the information vacuum results in wild speculation.
Team announcement will be made (likely) tonight via @USAGym. The conference call with the members of the U.S. Women’s Team for the 2011 World Championships Team has been changed, however, to 2:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 22.
Even without Mackenzie’s Bars I still see USA as the favourite in Tokyo. I’m cheering for Chellsie to hit Bars today.

What? An injury at a selection camp? Never!
More transparency would be appreciated. If only because the people who love and are interested in gymnastics would love to see more of it. (Why *hide* a sport that needs *more* exposure?)
for real Evan!!
The whole thing is weird with the 3 major forums all requiring registration even to READ the posts. They are little strange walled gardens.
GGMB is a dictatorship. They want all eyes on them. Give Abomb credit he gets the info. He of course threatens people for the info or else but it works.
The inmates run IG. LMAO that Martina is in charge. She’s a fat loser. No better then a stalker.
http://WWW.WWGYM.COM is just like GGMB without the credentials.
All 3 of these places love being the place. It is more important to them to be the king then get the info out.
The three major forums all have kind of a grudge against each other. They probably require registration just so that anybody who is going to talk smack actually has to be registered in order to see the board.
As for USAG, the only reason I can see for the secrecy is if they want more ability to put people on the teams who might not have the best results at camp. I don’t know if that’s the reason but I can’t see why else it would matter.
