Biles, Ross, Dowell

Wow.

It was a treat to watch the Sr women tonight. So much difficulty … yet you were surprised when anyone missed anything.

Nearing the end of the meet it looked obvious that the top 3 would be the top 3 …

1. Simone Biles, Spring, Texas, 120.450
2. Kyla Ross, Aliso Viejo, Calif., 120.250
3. Brenna Dowell, Odessa, Mo., 116.550

… until Biles and Dowell made major errors on their 8th apparatus. And Kyla had what looked like a near fall on Beam, last apparatus. 😦

4. Peyton Ernst, Coppell, Texas, 115.300
5. Maggie Nichols, Little Canada, Minn., 114.700
6. Mykayla Skinner, Gilbert, Ariz., 113.150
7. Kennedy Baker, Flower Mound, Texas, 112.900
8. Abigail Milliet, Denton, Texas, 110.900

The level on Floor and Vault is amazing. Only one Senior did an easier vault than Yurchenko double twist. It’s the new normal.

Without a taxpayer dollar going into the coffers of USAG, this is the #1 nation in the world in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics.

Respect.
