Can you leave a guy at home who can score that kind of AA?

Congratulations Sam.

We had the LIVE stream playing at Phoenix Gymnastics today. But I was too busy to watch. 😦

You can watch a replay online.

This was more of a TEST meet to check readiness for Rio. These scores are only a small part of the selection process. Day 2 is Wednesday.

“We have various priorities to consider when we decide on which athletes to choose,” stated Dave Brubaker, national team director for women’s artistic gymnastics at Gymnastics Canada.

“One priority is the ability to win a medal, another priority is the ability to make a final. Then there’s the priority to be strong on two, preferably three events. So for those fourth and fifth spots, we’re really looking for event specialists who can help contribute to that overall team total.

When we look at our results from the World Championships in Glasgow, we were really strong on vault and bars, so I think where we can bolster the team is on floor and beam, so those are the athletes we might be looking for.”

The non-traveling alternate should be a strong all-arounder as you can’t predict which of the 5 on the team she might have to replace. (I assume the non-traveling alternate will travel to Brazil and be training at a club nearby. Four years ago the Canadian alternate in London was Jessica Savona.)
