Aly Raisman to the AA Final

The big fight in the #Glasgow2015 all-around competition will be for second American after Simone. That gymnast will be a strong podium favourite.

Though I’ve never been a big fan of Aly’s gymnastics, I’ll predict she’ll be in the Final. And on the podium when the chalk clears.

Why?

Consistency. I trust her most to hit all her routines. Even Vault.

Chusovitina planning Produnova vault

The manoeuver, first shown by Russia’s Yelena Produnova in 1999, is the hardest vault recognised by the FIG Women’s Technical Committee …

Since Uzbekistan did not qualify a team to the 2015 Worlds, Chusovitina will be trying to qualify to Rio as an indvidual. The easiest way for her to do so would be to earn a medal in individual event finals in Glasgow, which would ensure her a nominative berth to next summer’s Games. …

And what about Chusovitina’s second vault?

“It’s a surprise,” she said, smiling.
