Had no idea Young was still competing. Are her bars still with high SV?

Yeah, they’re pretty good! I don’t think she’ll have much of a shot at the team, especially given that there are a bunch of young kids with epic bars sets who can also do solid AA, but yeah, she’s still looking good there and has lovely work on beam as well.

ooh, team france will be fun to see. I think Brevet and His have pretty secure spots, and Lechennault and Boyer are both making good steps as 1st year seniors. I wonder if Martin is full health.
