U.S. Podium Training – Simone on Vault

USA is incredible on Floor and Vault compared with the ROTW. (Rest Of The World.)

Click PLAY or watch Simone’s 1st Vault on YouTube. WOW! 🙂

I was quite impressed with Team USA on Bars. They are not as far behind China and Russia as I would have expected.

Beam – as expected – is a bit worrisome. They could use a rock solid Beam specialist rather than a 4th AA candidate. They are not likely to fall. But there are plenty of obvious deductions.

Gabby Douglas – Bars

Great line. Turns very close to handstand. Much improved dismount.

I’d love to see her make the Bar Final.
