U.S. Men’s National Team named

USAG named those who will ~~contend for the 2020 Olympic team~~.

I was wrong on that. As Dave points out:

The US National Team will be reformed at the National Championships this summer, and that will be the group that moves on to Olympic Trials.

Following the 2020 Winter Cup, the following athletes have been named to the men's senior national team:
Allan Bower
Grant Breckenridge
Trevor Howard
Paul Juda
Brody Malone
Sam Mikulak
Akash Modi
Yul Moldauer
Stephen Nederoscik
Colin Van Wicklen
Donnell Whittenburg
Shane Wiskus

Melbourne World Cup FINALS day 2

Beam
G Urara Ashikawa JPN 13.3
S Ondine Achampong GBR 13.166
B Anastasia Bachynska UKR 12.933

Coach Denis Vachon said Ashikawa did 7-8 perfect routines in warm-up.

Floor
G Jade Carey USA 14.366
S Vanessa Ferrari ITA 13.7
B Lara Mori ITA 12.9

Jade Carey now has 90 points on both vault and floor to lead the series on both. 👑

Vanessa Ferrari will bump up to 80 points, edging out Lara Mori, who will stay put at 75. With Carey likely to qualify on vault, it means Ferrari is now in the lead for the floor berth.

Bad news.

K.J. Kindler on Maggie Nichols' injury: “I wouldn't expect her back for a while. I’m not really sure … I can’t really say. It’s hard to know.”

For every gymnast who stuck his or her dismounts at the Melbourne World Cup, $300 was donated to the Australia's bush fire relief effort. Eleftherios Petrounias 🇬🇷 didn't stick his rings dismount, so he donated the full amount of his first place prize money to the cause.
