Andrade & Alvarado Olympic quota spots

Fan favourite Rebeca Andrade (56.700) has qualified another spot for Brazil in Tokyo. It’s certain she’ll be chosen to join Flavia.

Rebeca has had to come back from SO MANY injuries. I hope she feels it’s all been worth it.

Luciana Alvarado (50.833) will represent Costa Rica at the Olympics. I’m certain she’ll get the spot, as well. Congratulations.

I do feel badly for Canadian gymnasts who might have won an extra Olympic spot. Canada opted not to attend due to Covid.

  10. MyKayla Skinner 54.200

A rough meet, actually.

Too many falls.

Scores are high in some cases, compared with international judging.

I predict there will be a higher HIT rate — for those invited — at Olympic trials.

This must be the cleanest triple double ever competed in Artistic Gymnastics. The boys will be watching this one for many years to come.

All hail the G.O.A.T.

Oliveira – Arabian pike 1/2 out

It’s always problematic to call a full twisting double back a NEW skill, if the timing of the twist changes.

That said, I expect this will go into the Code named for Lorrane Oliveira.
