Worley, Artemev – Olympics slipping away?

My two favourite American gymnasts are long shots to make it to the competition floor in Beijing.

Both are still in contention for selection though Sasha is already officially an alternate.

An injury ridden year for Shayla. Falling on Pommel Horse, his best apparatus, 3 of the past 4 meets for Sasha. …

I’m assuming neither will make the final competition team.

The “artistry quotient” for USA drops big time.
