So a couple of of a Olympic teams have been announced. And we know everyone in a gymnastics village is debating over a who will be series six for a US. we am additionally checking everywhere all a time seeking for information upon a Chinese squad. So a single mark for a US Team as good as in my opinion, dual spots left upon a Chinese team, we thought we would again take a demeanour during who we consider will be in these spots

BTW- gymnast.com has a good outline as good as a virtual meet which is definitely worth seeking at.

First a US team:

In further to Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, Alicia Sacramone, Chellsie Memmel, as good as Samantha Peszek, here is any athlete in a running:

Jana Bieger

Positives- Outside of her routines, Jana has all we wish out of an athlete upon a Olympic Team; she is unchanging as good as handles a vigour well. She additionally is good known upon a general stage as good as is a triple china medalist.

Negatives- She has a reduce begin worth than others do which have been competing for this unequivocally coveted spot. And she additionally is controversial in a B-score area in a perspective of many. (Which is a categorical reason a little of which scoring play irritated me, we dont unequivocally know where she stands internationally)

My Overall Opinion- we dont know if we am being nauseating over my recent confront with her, yet we consider she will get a mark if Shayla Worley is still too injured. we consider Jana can be counted upon to do her unequivocally best, which is unequivocally critical since we hold a US cant equate vital mistakes to beat China. (Unless a Chinese equate similar to 3 falls y! et which is an additional story). Furthermore, if Jana were to eek out usually dual some-more tenths upon her A-score (making it a 6.8) we consider she has a mark though a doubt.

Shayla Worley

Postives- Shayla has World Championship knowledge as good as we know she can measure good internationally. She can additionally move in an A-score as tall as 7.0. (At slightest we wish to contend we listened that).

Negatives- Others have said it as good as so will I; Shayla might be a Hollie Vise of 2008. Taking a possibility with an injured athlete is NOT what a US wants to be we do which this point. Better to have a 15.6ish measure from Jana than to equate a fall.

My Overall Opinion- If Shaylas health is in much better condition as good as she HITS during a Selection Camp, we consider she will be taken over Jana. Every tenth counts, as good as Shayla has a intensity to move in bigger numbers than Jana.

Ivana Hong

Positives- Ivana has unequivocally flattering form as good as extension.

Negatives- Unfortunately, a negatives unequivocally transcend a positives here. Ivana hasnt been incredibly unchanging (when compared to Jana, as good as has a reduce A-score. More importantly though, after her bar slight being ripped to pieces in Stuttgart final year, we dont wish to take those chances again in Beijing with her new routine.

My Overall Opinion- we consider Ivana might be an alternate, yet we do not see her as part of this team.

Bridget Sloan

Postives- Bridget has a unequivocally decent A-score, as good as when she hits she scores utterly well.

Negatives- She doesnt have a lot of general knowledg! e in my opinion. She was a swap as good as didnt contest in Stuttgart. She additionally had a poorer showing during Trials, scoring reduce both nights than she did during Nationals.

My Overall Opinion- She usually has a tenth some-more in A-score than Jana, as good as her opening we consider is a bigger risk than Janas will be. However, we consider which she is absolutely starting to be during slightest a roving alternate.

Keep in thoughts which we hold which this 6th mark is solely based upon bars. Whichever athlete gets this mark will usually be starting to equate a good bars measure in a Team Final. we unequivocally consider it all depends upon performances in between Jana as good as Shayla during a Camp.

Why we hold Spot #5 is taken by Samantha Peszek:

With super clever building showings from Chellsie, Samantha, as good as even Nastia upon Floor during Trials, we consider this mark is for a 3rd many appropriate vaulter. Peszek has which sealed. She is unchanging as good as we unequivocally hold a many appropriate overall. Although we have listened which Corrie Lothrop is working upon an Amanar, we dont consider The Powers That Be wish to take which chance. Shawn is a single of a many unchanging athletes in a universe as good as demeanour how long she has been working to get which vault right. And Lothrop is an different as good as has small knowledge internationally. Although Ivana as good as Sloan have DTYs Peszek is a many consistent. One some-more note, nonetheless we love Mattie Larson, we consider she might be a good swap for her vault as good as especially building status. But we usually dont see her removing a mark over Peszek.

And right away onto China

It is assumed which a locks for a Chinese Team have been Cheng Fei, He Kexin, Jiang Yuyuan, as good as Yang Yilin, which leaves dual spots open. Lets demeanour during their gaps:

Vault- Cheng, J! iang, Ya ng/He.

Bars- He, Yang, Jiang

Beam- Cheng (I unequivocally consider she will be used here), GAP, GAP.

Floor- Cheng, Jiang, Yang

Overall Analysis: Look familiar? Chinas got almost a same complaint upon lamp which a US has upon bars. So with dual spots open, we consider it is utterly expected which these spots will be determined by beam. Here have been a possibilities:

Li Shanshan

Postives- Li has a highest begin worth in a universe upon lamp (or during slightest as far as we know!) She was upon a World Championship Team final year as good as is won a china medal in Event Finals WITH A FALL. That is when we know we have been good upon an apparatus; nonetheless there have been AA wins with a fall, she is a usually a single to medal in EF with a fall.

Negatives- Li is not good known for her consistency. A tumble is is bad for a spirit of a group as good as with no vital errors China will win a Team Final.

My Overall Opinion- They have to take her. Even with a tumble she can post a single of a highest scores in a world. At this point, we would put her upon my team.

Xiao Sha

Postives- She has general knowledge as good as has a 6.9 or 7.0 A-score.

Negatives- She is additionally good known to have coherence issues.

My altogether Opinion- She is a alternative athlete we would add. A tumble would still put her upon top of a fifteen we think.

Sui Lu

Postives- Very tall A-score upon lamp (6.9).

Negatives- Very small general knowledge as g! ood as h as not been unchanging in general competitions.

My Overall Opinion- we wouldnt take her. Good swap since she has a good SV upon Floor as well.

Deng Linlin

Positives- Deng has a tall A-score upon lamp (6.9-7.1) as good as she not long ago did utterly good during a Moscow World Cup in May, winning both lamp as good as building showing which she can be a reasonable backup upon building as well.

Negatives- Doesnt have as much general knowledge as some, as good as isnt good known for her coherence either.

My Overall Opinion- we consider this mark is in between her as good as Xiao Sha. we additionally dont know whom to collect in between a two.

With Pang Panpan as good as Zhang Nan we am not even sure what their A-scores have been upon lamp right now. Anyone? we unequivocally similar to Zhang since she is a nauseating favorite as good as she has some-more general knowledge for everyone in a using for these dual spots. we additionally consider lamp is her many appropriate event. And overall, we consider China usually needs decent A-scores as good as a solid measure to stay forward of a US.

So what does everyone else think? Who would we put in these spots?
