Kyle Shewfelt thinks she could.
I do too.
The AA Champion will hit 4/4 very well. At least as well as Nastia in 2008.
Odds are Jordyn Wieber will win. Her or Gabby. (… If Aly somehow is one of top 2 Americans in prelims, I don’t believe she can podium.)
My best wild guess is that Larisa will be next.
Gymnast #391 has her AA D-Score = 25.2 or 25.9 with Amanar. Strong, despite Bars. Iordache could win it all, in fact.
More likely to make mistakes in the AA final: Viktoria Komova (RUS), Aliya Mustafina (RUS), Yao Jinnan (CHN), Huang Quishang (CHN) …
These predictions are mostly based on what I saw at Worlds 2010 and 2011. USA and Romania organized, disciplined. China inconsistent. Russia a mess, especially in 2010. That was a shocker.
The Olympic Champion must first qualify during prelims. Then HIT when it counts.
Anything could happen. 🙂
Gabby Douglas was one of 5 Olympic athletes each on a different cover of Time magazine in the USA. Other athletes were featured on Time in other parts of the world.
