Alternate in Germany will be decided as late as 24 hours prior to the first competition.
Non-traveling alternates are Morgan Hurd and Leanne Wong.
Spencer feels this team is too strong and deep on Floor & Vault, not deep enough on Beam and Bars.
Any combination would win Worlds as a team. My own vote — if I had a vote — would be for those gymnasts who have been most consistent over all the competitions and camps. The only team that can beat USA is … USA.
U.S. Worlds Selection Camp – day 2

Sunisa Lee is near indispensable for her 15.000 Bars. And — of course — the 58.200 she posted today!
Kara Eaker had a great day too.
Many had surprising mistakes, however. Especially on Floor.
Reality check – many feel the E-scores were high compared with Worlds.
