Lauren Hopkins:
… Maria Kharenkova, the girl who came into this meet with literally zero expectations and ended up competing some of the best beam and floor performances this country has seen in a long time. Kharenkova went six-for-six on these two events to earn the silver on beam and the gold on floor with masterful performances that would make her a medal contender at worlds.
Lauren likes Iliankova and Kharenkova over Paseka for the Worlds team.
