Johnson, Liukin, Memmel, Sacramone, Peszek, Sloan

Congratulations.

This team will win the Olympics.

They are by a good margin more consistent than China. In the end, consistency will win out over start score.

I’m very happy for Bridget who deserved to grab the last spot. Her comment after day 1 competition:

“I felt amazing. I thought (Friday) went just fantastic,” she said. “I needed to do well on bars and floor, which were two events at trials where I had errors. And hitting that vault really helped my self-confidence.”
