Ferrera is. How about Rebeca Andrade? Or is she being rested?

Andrade ruptured ACL recently unfortunately. She will hope to make Rio if that’s even possible :(.

Do we know if this years PanAms will be livestreamed and archived in the same way much of last years was or is there a new format/youtube channel/webpage to catch things from? Or have they not specified yet?

Hmm, eight full teams.. I guess Us does have the edge to win TF
AA and EF will be interesting…. Jlo if she hits all 4 can definitely challenge for an AA podium spot. She could also go for an ub podium spot with another repeat performance like AC.
So what are the realistic contenders for AA and each EF?

I’d say Gowey and Saraiva are top contenders for AA. Saraiva is one for beam.

I’m thinking Skaggs may be a surprise in the AA. Ellie Black could place well too. Videaux for VT.
