Jr Kai Uemura 83.394

The biggest story so far from U.S. Championships is Kai on day 1.

Super potential.

An incredible score counting only 8 skills. The seniors count 10.

I do find the E-scores high at this meet, so far.

future USA Gymnastics Training Centre?

Interesting idea.

There are pros and cons with National Training Centres. Recall that Gymnastics Australia quit the Australian Institute of Sport due to problems.

MAG and all other FIG disciplines would benefit most by training with WAG, the highest profile discipline.

IF it happens, USAG will have to choose a location. More central geographically would make for easier travel logistics.

Certainly any State with abortion restrictions should not be considered. After all, USAG wants to call this a “Wellness Center“.

Worst are those in dark orange.
