USA gymnasts to Worlds?

Beautiful Gymnastics continues a series analyzing the top teams vis-a-vis Worlds 2013.

The U.S. of America is toughest.

The team is so deep that at least a dozen different gymnasts have a chance for selection. It will probably come down to which are healthy and consistent at the right time.

Beautiful G assumes two all-arounders will be sent. The other two selected based on best chance for medals on apparatus:

Simone Biles– AA, VT, FX, UB and BB attempts (wildcard for both)
Kyla Ross– AA, UB, BB

Katelyn Ohashi– BB
Ebee Price– VT, FX

There’s no Team competition at Worlds 2013.

If Jordyn Wieber is back she’d more likely be the second all-arounder.

Mykayla Skinner could go as a specialist. But she’s not now on the national team.
