Sadly the fan favourite fell on Floor dismount.
Simone, Gabby, Aly to compete the AA
As expected, Simone and Gabby will compete the AA for USA. It looks like Aly Raisman will as well over Laurie Hernandez.
That means Laurie will not compete Bars in prelims.
Most likely line-ups in prelims:
Floor: Gabby, Laurie, Simone, Aly
Vault: Laurie, Gabby, Aly, Simone
Bars: Aly, Simone, Gabby, Madison
Beam: Gabby, Aly, Laurie, Simone
