What a career!
I recall her winning Worlds 2010. She could do anything at that time.

Morgan, Kinsella & Gadirovas
Many are disappointed that Beckie Downie was not selected. She would have been an ideal plus one competitor, but GBR did not earn a 5th spot for Tokyo.
Some are questioning the reasons WHY Beckie was not included.

2021 USA Senior Team
All 18 women named to the National Team will compete at the U.S. Olympic Trials in St. Louis.
Cool.
I’ve never understood why nations are so quick to cut the selection pool. It’s a HUGE accomplishment to make Olympic trials. The highlight of many Elite careers.
It’s a net WIN to have more gymnasts.

Japan names Men’s Olympic team

And Kohei, age-32, for the plus one pick.
In the complicated and very competitive Japanese selection procedure, Kohei tied with Yonekura Hidenobu, the Vault specialist.
Kohei got the tie-breaker for his higher world ranking.
Simone and Kohei Uchimura will be the biggest NAMES in Gymnastics at the Olympics.

Stephen Nedoroscik 15.100
Legit score.
Steve wasn’t thrilled with his routine day 1. But he’ll be happy with this one.
He’d quite likely qualify for the Olympic Pommel Final. Some of the best guys in the world didn’t qualify.
Alex Diab would be another good pick. A certain Rings finalist.
Eddie Penev would be the 3rd possible specialist for Floor.
USA doesn’t have a great chance for a team medal in 2021. They COULD select the team to maximize possible Finals. Two AA and 3 specialists with the PLUS 1. But that’s highly unlikely.

They can name up to 21 according to Kensley Behel.
I’m pretty sure Brody has worn a cowboy hat before. ðŸ¤
Shane Wiscus had a disastrous H Bar for 8.800. Three falls. Left for medical evaluation following the routine.
I assume he’ll be added by petition.
