U.S. Worlds Selection Camp – day 2

After day 1, only Simone was guaranteed a spot on the team.

The rest of the team will be named sometime today — Monday — based on day 2 which won’t be broadcast.

3. Kara Eaker 57.100
4. McKayla Skinner 56.050
5. Jade Carey 55.900

Sunisa Lee is near indispensable for her 15.000 Bars. And — of course — the 58.200 she posted today!

Kara Eaker had a great day too.

Many had surprising mistakes, however. Especially on Floor.

Reality check – many feel the E-scores were high compared with Worlds.
