Chellsie Memmel petition petition

Chellsie is beloved by fans. A poll proves it.

There’s an online petition, promoted by @GymnasticsZone, where you can voice your opinion that Chellsie should be invited to the Visa Championships, keeping her in the pool of athletes eligible for selection to Olympic Team.

USA Gymnastics, USAG Olympic Selection Committee, Steve Penny: Allow Gymnast Chellsie Memmel to compete at the National Championships.

A very late candidate for the Team (like Nastia) Chellsie did not even get close to the reasonable requirement of a score of 14+ on at least one apparatus at the Secret.

Athletes expect to be declined when they don’t perform. But in this exceptional case there are a couple of good arguments for putting her through.

I’d love to see it happen. But I’m not holding my breath.
