10:18 pm. Final Standings

Simone Biles earns the automatic AA spot!

Apparently Shilese Jones hit her feet on the mat on bars, which we couldn’t see on the stream, thus the wildly lower score than expected.

10:14 pm. Leanne Wong UB: Got the straddle Jaeger, toe full with some form break in the legs to Bhardwaj, catches that well, Maloney to Pak, nice and clean, good handstand before the van Leeuwen, slight form breaks, and a double layout with a hop back.

10:11 pm. Jade Carey UB: Ray, blind change to Ezhova, Maloney to Bhardwaj, some leg separation on both, van Leeuwen, body line was a bit off, blind full, and a full-out, stuck! This was nice and confident. 13.350 (5.4, 7.950)

Amelia Disidore VT: Yurchenko double full, lands with her chest pretty far down and a hop. 13.750 (5.0, 8.850, -0.1)

Handspring front pike half with a hop back for the second vault.

10:08 pm. Joscelyn Roberson VT: Cheng, some form in the air but she comes down really strong into the landing in terms of her chest position. Looks like just a small bounce in place. 14.600 (5.6, 9.000)

Second vault is a Yurchenko double full, soft knee form for the most part but another solid landing!

10:05 pm. Shilese Jones UB: Stalder full to Chow to Tkachev, lovely. Toe full to Downie to Pak, great. Beautiful van Leeuwen. Toe half to front giant to double front, cowboyed with a hop back. Overall fantastic. 13.500 (6.1, 7.400) – that seems really low?

10:03 pm. Jordan Chiles VT: Second vault is a Lopez, really nice! Best one here, clean, bounce in place.

10:02 pm. Jordan Chiles VT: Oh, she’s okay! Yurchenko double, really strong, big hop back. 14.350 (5.0, 9.350)

10:01 pm. Kaliya Lincoln UB: Stalder full, a little late, Chow to Tkachev, some hip form on the handstand before the Ray to Pak, some form in both, but fights through it, toe-on arches a little, to van Leeuwen, blind change to front giant half, clean stuck double tuck! 12.450 (5.3, 7.150)

9:58 pm. Touch for the second final half!

9:55 pm. Skye Blakely UB: Stalder half to piked Jaeger, very nice. Downie to Pak, slight leg separation. Toe full right to handstand, slight hip adjustment, to van Leeuwen, toe half to front giant to double front half, cowboys a little on the twist but the landing was great! Amazing routine, she’s on the team without question. 14.200 (5.9, 8.300)

9:53 pm. Madray Johnson UB: Church, Pak, toe-on, van Leeuwen, straddle Jaeger, high double tuck with a small step. 12.050 (4.9, 7.150)

Zoe Miller VT: Yurchenko 1.5, bounce on the landing OOB, but overall it looked good? 13.050 (4.6, 8.750, -0.3)

9:51 pm. Simone Biles VT: Yurchenko double pike, just a bit too powerful and she lands it on her back. I feel like only Simone could over rotate a YDP. Maybe intentional? Idk, it honestly could have been. She was smiling when she got up and it didn’t look like she tried to land it, tbh. 14.550 (6.4, 8.650, -0.5)

9:50 pm. Kayla DiCello VT: Yurchenko double full, she’s really lost a lot of her leg form in this? It’s a bit weaker than it was at nationals. But she gets the landing! 14.200 (5.0, 9.200)

Alicia Zhou UB: Again wasn’t typing but this was a hit routine, deep ish on the landing on the full-in dismount, takes a step back out of it. Lovely lines throughout. 13.600 (5.6, 8.000)

9:48 pm. Lexi Zeiss VT: Yurchenko 1.5, knee bends and leg separation but got the landing. 13.400 (4.6, 8.900, -0.1)

Nola Matthews UB: I sadly was NOT typing at all for this unfortunately, but she hit everything! Tiny bounce on the landing. 13.650 (5.4, 8.250)

9:44 pm. Addison Fatta UB: Catches the piked Jaeger, and then a Church to Pak, some leg separation. Toe-on to Maloney to Gienger, high but her hips are weirdly bent and she catches a little close. Loses leg form in the giant full, and hits the double layout dismount. 13.450 (5.6, 7.850)

Eveylynn Lowe VT: Didn’t see details but she hit the Yurchenko 1.5. 13.850 (4.6, 9.250)

9:43 pm. Jordan Chiles had some pain in her ankle at the end of floor and is being examined. Her landing on the second pass looked really sketchy ankle-wise, and I’m sure the next two passes didn’t help.

9:39 pm. Touch underway for the first half of the final rotation!

9:37 pm. Rotation 3 Standings

1. Kaliya Lincoln 41.900
2. Shilese Jones 41.800
3. Simone Biles 41.150
4. Skye Blakely 41.000
– Leanne Wong 41.000
6. Zoe Miller 40.350
7. Joscelyn Roberson 40.300
8. Kayla DiCello 40.050

9:35 pm. Tiana Sumanasekera FX: Double double, bounce back, looked like it was OOB. Gets a little stumbly in the wolf turn but corrects quickly. Double layout, slight form in her body line, just needs to stretch it out a bit more. Switch ring through to switch full I believe. 1.5 to front full, little ankle separations on both. Switch half. Double pike, a little forward on the landing with a step. 13.200 (5.7, 7.600, -0.1)

9:31 pm. Jordan Chiles FX: Full-twisting double layout, some pike in her hips and a hop back. Front layout through to full-in, deep landing with a stumble. REALLY low set in the double double, lands it on her knees. Oof. Double pike is also a bit low, looks kinda winded at the end. 12.950 (6.0, 6.950)

9:30 pm. Shilese Jones VT: Really powerful Yurchenko double full! Step OOB. 14.150 (5.0, 9.250, -0.1)

9:28 pm. Zoe Miller FX: Double wolf turn. Hit the double layout well! Great landing on the full-in and hit the leap pass that followed. Front through to double full, lots of leg form in the air but gets the landing again. Stuck the double tuck. She looks great today!

Kaliya Lincoln VT: I missed the block but looked like she had some leg separation as she came in for the landing. Otherwise okay from what I saw! 14.250 (5.0, 9.250)

9:25 pm. Skye Blakely VT: Yurchenko double full, excellent! Minimal deductions in the air, and the landing was great. 14.200 (5.0, 9.000)

Lopez for the second vault, took her a second coming off the table to get the shape right but the landing was great, just a bounce in place.

9:23 pm. Simone Biles FX: Full-twisting double layout, step back. Front full through to double double, stuck! Double wolf turn got a bit wobbly. Switch through to tour jeté full, landing could have been cleaner. Biles, right into the corner, looks like she sticks it but then takes a little hop, maybe OOB? Double layout, hoppy on the landing and the leg form wasn’t great tbh? Overall a strong routine that will obviously score well but a few things could be cleaner/tighter. 14.300 (6.7, 8.000, -0.4)

Madray Johnson VT: IIRC she did a Yurchenko 1.5 with a large step forward. 13.650 (4.6, 9.050)

9:19 pm. Break for the second half of the rotation warmup!

9:18 pm. Alicia Zhou VT: Another clean Yurchenko full, her landing is kinda funny, hops her feet apart equally to land with about a foot of space between them. 12.850 (4.2, 8.750, -0.1)

9:15 pm. Kayla DiCello FX: Double double, a little deep in the landing but doesn’t move her feet. Clean triple wolf turn. Split jump full, hops out of it. 1.5 to front full, loses some ankle form in both as she comes in to land them. Switch ring to switch full, low back leg on the former from my view. Double pike, too far back when she lands and has to take two big steps back, OOB. 13.550 (5.5, 8.150, -0.1)

Nola Matthews VT: Clean Yurchenko full, hop back. 13.200 (4.2, 9.000)

9:12 pm. Lexi Zeiss FX: Front double full, legs were all over the place, tucked and crossed at the knees, doesn’t get it all the way around and sits it. 1.5 to front full is better, step forward. Double tuck, a little buckled on the landing, hop back. 11.950 (4.9, 7.050)

Addison Fatta VT: Yurchenko double full, some knee form in the air but a good landing. 13.950 (5.0, 8.950)

Second vault is a Lopez, a bit wild on the block and went really crooked onto the table, but whips it around and gets the landing.

9:08 pm. Eveylynn Lowe FX:Arabian double front, really separates her legs in the first flip but fixes it for the second. Switch ring to switch full. Hit the next pass and then the double tuck, some foot form on the second but the landing was strong. 13.350 (5.3, 8.050)

Leanne Wong VT: Great landing on the Yurchenko double! Some form in the air but nothing that’d be too severely deducted. She basically stuck it, maybe a bounce in place. 14.450 (5.0, 9.450)

Second vault for her is a Lopez, I wasn’t paying super close attention but it looked like there were just the regular slight form things in the air, the landing was pretty solid again.

9:04 pm. Amelia Disidore FX: Double double, twists kind of slowly but still gets a pretty solid landing, chest maybe could be pulled up higher. Full-in finishes much lower, lunges forward. Double pike at the end had a step back OOB. 12.800 (5.5, 7.400, -0.1)

Jade Carey VT: Second vault is a Yurchenko double, leg form in the pre- and post-flight, also finishes a bit short with her chest down.

Live scoring seems to be fixed, I think they were putting scores in as 0.1 instead of -0.1 lol.

I don’t think we’ll be getting second vault scores on the MyUSAGym app, one of its many flaws.

9:03 pm. Jade Carey VT: Cheng, leg form is pretty weak in the post-flight and she has a hop back. Lots of power, though! 14.650 (5.6, 9.050)

9:01 pm. Joscelyn Roberson FX: Hit all of her passes! Looked pretty good from what I saw, just form things throughout, landings were mostly fine IIRC. 13.850 (6.3, 7.650, -0.1)

Sorry, I didn’t type during this at all because I was trying to correct a live scoring issue where the app is adding ND tenths instead of subtracting them hahaha. I fixed all scores below that had this issue, and also fixed the AA standings.

9:00 pm. Rotation 2 Standings

1. Shilese Jones 27.650
– Kaliya Lincoln 27.650
3. Zoe Miller 27.400
4. Simone Biles 26.850
5. Skye Blakely 26.800
6. Leanne Wong 26.550
7. Kayla DiCello 26.500
8. Alicia Zhou 26.450
– Joscelyn Roberson 26.450

8:53 pm. That’s the break after two rotations! Each rotation is literally taking 45 minutes, it’s painful. I guess that’s 5 minutes per routine and judging, but I feel like world cup finals average more like 3-4 per routine and judging.

Will be back with rotation two standings shortly!

8:51 pm. Zoe Miller BB: Full turn, bhs (really bent knees) loso loso, knees straightened up slightly on the latter two. Front aerial, again really bent knees which I think mess up her landing and cause her to stumble before hitting the jump to back tuck. Switch to switch half, a bit short. Side aerial, much nicer on her extension there. Sissone to wolf jump. Nice flex hold in her choreo before her dismount, a double pike, chest down. 12.900 (5.4, 7.500)

8:48 pm. Skye Blakely FX: Lands the double double short and then stumbles back after pulling her chest up, OOB. Double layout was much better. Hit a tour jeté half and split jump full, then switch full. Front tuck through to double tuck, some leg separation, and she’s a bit deep in the landing, step back. 12.450 (5.6, 7.250, -0.4 ND)

8:44 pm. Madray Johnson FX: Double layout, really deep landing, step forward.1.5 to front full. Dobule tuck at the end was also really short. 12.650 (5.2, 7.450)

Simone Biles BB: Oh no, I missed the very beginning because I was texting. Good triple wolf turn. Bhs loso loso, break at the hips but only needs a slight adjustment to bring it back together. Clean side aerial. Full-in dismount, hop back. Good! Or at least what I saw was. 14.050 (5.9, 8.150)

8:40 pm. Alicia Zhou FX: Double layout, really low set but gets it around kind of horizontally. No problems on the landing. 1.5 to front full, step forward. Love how she finishes her leap pass directly into choreo. Good landing on the double tuck at the end. 13.000 (5.0, 8.000)

Kayla DiCello BB: Candle mount. Clean triple wolf turn. Bhs loso loso was solid, some noticeable bent knees though. Switch to switch half, the latter maybe hit 120 or so. Front aerial to split jump to sissone, better splits there. Side aerial. Double pike, chest at her knees, lunge back. Good recovery after bars. 13.800 (5.7, 8.100)

8:36 pm. Nola Matthews FX: Full-in, some leg form throughout, step back OOB. Front full through to 2.5, twisty ankles and a step. Hop L turn through to switch full I think. Or tour jeté half, I didn’t see the entry, sorry! Hop back on the double tuck. 13.450 (5.2, 8.350, -0.1)

Lexi Zeiss BB: Back handspring mount with a check. Hit the flight series with some knee form. Double wolf turn was clean. Hit a side aerial and switch half after that, then front aerial, just some knee form. Good double tuck, step back. 12.750 (5.1, 7.650)

8:32 pm. Think it’s the touch for the second half now. Kaliya Lincoln is tied in first with Shilese Jones right now after both have done beam and floor! That’s kind of awesome.

8:31 pm. Eveylynn Lowe BB: Nice switch leap mount and switch ring. Bhs bhs layout, some leg form throughout and lands it kind of on one foot, leg up. Switch to switch side, some foot form on the latter. Side aerial loso, slight knee form. Full turn, front aerial, slight check, jump series to Korbut. Love her technique on her side somi, I think because she does it piked and not tucked. Double full with a hop back, nice hit! 12.950 (5.3, 7.650)

8:28 pm. Addison Fatta FX: 2.5 through to double tuck, bounce back. I love that she’s been doing a 2.5 through to something else for like 100 years, think it used to be a triple full IIRC? Double layout, a little short, balance check. Front double full, kinda finishes it in a rudi position in terms of how her feet land, and hops the rest around. 12.500 (5.1, 7.700, -0.3)

8:25 pm. Amelia Disidore BB: Layout stepout mount, good. Round off layout, some ankle form in the air and a check. Hit a nice clean jump series. Tick tock into the loso loso series, some knee form throughout, switch leap, switch half a bit short, to Korbut. Slides up into position for the wolf turn, the only wolf transition I don’t mind! Chest far forward on the side somi but she corrects it. Switch side. Double pike, second flip rotated kinda slowly? But still got the landing well enough. 13.500 (5.7, 7.800)

8:23 pm. Leanne Wong FX: Double double, EXCELLENT! Stuck. Oh, I am Team Leanne all the way. Also basically sticks the double layout, just more on her toes, but still pretty good. Hop L full to switch half finished well. Gets a little stumbly in the double L turn to full turn. Whip half to front full, small slide back. Double pike, ends up really short there, chest forward and then a big lunge. But overall a great routine, I forgive the last pass. 13.200 (5.5, 7.700)

8:18 pm. Jade Carey FX: Moors, actually looked really stretched out hip-wise?! Some leg form especially noticeable in the second flip but okay! Full-twisting double layout after is a little weaker with the hips. Hit the leap series with a good landing. Really deep lnnading on the double double, big lunge forward. Didn’t see what the last pass was but looked over to her panel on the screen just as her hands were going down to the mat. Sot hat seals it for her, unfortunately. 12.300 (5.9, 6.400)

Joscelyn Roberson BB: Leg up and chest down on the standing full. Hit the leaps to back tuck series, and then side aerial loso loso finished with a leg up. Great Onodi to jump series, just some legs in the Onodi. Side straddle jump. Double pike, lunge and then another step back. 13.450 (6.3, 7.150)

8:17 pm. Having both routines going at the same time and then a multi-minute wait is always sooooooooo annoying!!! In a two-event-at-a-time meet it’s so much better to space them to go one at a time, it’ll feel faster!

8:14 pm. Shilese Jones FX: Clean double wolf turn. Double double, legs go a little wild in the second flip but doesn’t faze her for the landing. Double L turn to double spin, nice. Front full to double tuck, good landing. Full-in, again some leg form but the landing is good. Hop L turn to switch half. 13.500 (5.6, 7.900)

Tiana Sumanasekera BB: Candle mount. Bhs bhs layout, gorgeous in the air, but has a bit of a stumble on the landing, leg up. Front aerial to split jump to Korbut, tiny pause between the first two. Switch leap, pause, switch half, a little short, and her back foot looked odd. Side aerial, tiny hip adjustment, hit the jump series and full turn, double pike, step back. 13.100 (5.7, 7.400)

8:10 pm. Jordan Chiles BB: Off on her flight series. Hit the jump series to back handspring. Leap series through to wolf jump was nice. Side somi was strong. Dismounts with a double pike, a little short with a hop forward. 12.150 (5.2, 6.950)

Kaliya Lincoln FX: Double double, small hop forward. Hit the full-twisting double layout well. Switch ring through to tour jeté full. Switch full into the corner before the front full through to double tuck, super strong landing. 13.850 (6.0, 7.850)

8:08 pm. Rotation 1 Standings

1. Zoe Miller 14.500
2. Skye Blakely 14.350
3. Jordan Chiles 14.200
4. Shilese Jones 14.150
5. Kaliya Lincoln 13.800
6. Lexi Zeiss 13.650
7. Alicia Zhou 13.450
8. Leanne Wong 13.350

8:04 pm. Moving on to the second rotation!

8:02 pm. Alicia Zhou BB: Switch leap mount to switch half to Korbut, EXCELLENT connections! Not even a millisecond pause between the mount and leap. Got a little shaky in the wolf turn but adjusted quickly. Beautiful lift on the bhs loso loso, great extension as well. Switch ring. Hip adjustment on the side aerial. Front aerial, tiny check, split jump to straddle jump, also a little adjustment there. Double full dismount with some crossed ankles and a small bounce. 13.450 (5.6, 7.850)

7:58 pm. Nola Matthews BB: Back handspring mount, big wobble but nice save. Bhs loso, bent knees and a big wobble, can’t save this one. Got the wolf turn. Switch to split jump half, not really there on the latter. Side aerial was nice. Front aerial also hit. Double tuck with some leg separation but a decent landing. 12.150 (5.3, 6.850)

7:55 pm. Kayla DiCello UB: I wasn’t typing at the beginning but she had everything until she arched over on a handstand on the low bar, tried to pull it back but it was too far gone, unfortunately. Back on for a nice van Leeuwen and stuck full-in dismount but she looks pissed. 12.700 (5.6, 7.100)

7:52 pm. Addison Fatta BB: Finished the wolf turn in a weird squat. Hit the flight series well. Nice switch leap. Finished with a 2.5 with a step forward. Nice hit routine! 12.700 (5.1, 7.600)

Lexi Zeiss UB: Toe full, legs split in handstand, to van Leeuwen, Ezhova, shaposh to Pak, Maloney to Gienger, a little horizontal in the release. Full-in with a small hop. 13.650 (5.9, 7.750)

7:50 pm. Eveylynn Lowe UB: Toe full, nice finish in handstand, to Gienger, slight straddle before catching. Blind change to straddle Jaeger, turns it over nicely but has slightly flexed feet. Pak, minor form there, good handstand before the toe shoot, caught a bit close, toe-on, and a full-in with a small hop back. 12.700 (5.0, 7.700)

7:47 pm. Leanne Wong BB: Side aerial through to switch leap to wolf jump, gorgeous. Wolf jump full to split jump, maybe a little pause, but I love that series. Bhs loso, some slight knee form to be picky, but solid.  Full L turn, a little lack of control at the end. Switch ring, looked better than in the warmup earlier! Good side aerial. Front aerial to straddle jump, slight pause between them and check after the jump. Nailed the landing on the 2.5 dismount, just some ankle form in the air. 13.350 (5.4, 7.950)

Amelia Disidore UB: Stalder half to straddle Jaeger, nice. Church, nice! Also caught the van Leeuwen with some leg form, toe full with leg separation and a late finish, and a great stuck double tuck. 11.600 (4.9, 6.700)

7:45 pm. Touch for the second half is underway!

7:41 pm. Jade Carey BB: Front aerial to split jump to Korbut, good connections. Bhs loso loso is super solid! Tiny knee form things. Side straddle jump, and then moves into a side spilt jump half, a bit short in the split and she falls. Oh no. Switch leap to switch half, short, to straddle jump, maybe a little short on that too but our angle isn’t great. Hit the double pike dismount. 12.500 (5.9, 6.600)

7:40 pm. I think they’re gonna have a second group warmup which is why no one’s going on bars yet despite Roberson’s score being in. Still one to go on beam I think.

7:35 pm. Joscelyn Roberson UB: Clear hip full to Ezhova, some leg form throughout. Toe full to Maloney to Gienger, low and straddled a bit before the catch but gets it! Clear hip, toe-on double layout, with a step back, hit! 13.000 (5.4, 7.600)

Shilese Jones BB: Switch leap mount to switch half. Hit the standing arabian and the layout series, some leg form in the latter and could have been a bit more stretched, little wobble on the landing. Good side aerial. Switch leap to sissone was nice. Double pike with a lunge back, slight knee bends in the back handsprings into the dismount as well. Sometimes her knees look so nicely extended and other times they don’t! 14.150 (6.0, 8.150)

Live scores are working now! I’m adding them in as they come up.

7:33 pm. Tiana Sumanasekera UB: Stalder full, little adjustment, to Maloney to Pak, van Leeuwen with some ankle form, stalder to blind change to front giant (slight leg separation) to straddle Jaeger, some flexed feet and rotation could be stronger, short on the half turn before the giants into the full-in dismount, strong landing. It’s fun being picky with her now, she’s gotten so much better on this event! 13.050 (5.4, 7.650)

7:31 pm. Jordan Chiles UB: Toe full to piked Tkachev to Pak, lovely. Big Maloney to Gienger, nice air on the latter. Blind change to piked Jaeger is strong. Super clean bail to toe shoot, some hip bend in the flight, full-in with some leg separation but a great landing. 14.200 (5.9, 8.300)

Kaliya Lincoln BB: Got through the wolf turn well! Also hit the layout series SO well. Strong jump series too. Switch leap to switch half could be quicker but looked nice to me. Side aerial with super straight legs. Double pike was strong, lunge back. 13.800 (5.9, 7.900)

7:28 pm. Zoe Miller UB: Inbar full to Chow half, some leg form in the air, inbar half to straddle Jaeger, Downie to Pak, good handstand before the van Leeuwen, leg form there before catching, double layout, weird knee bend in the second flip and some leg separation but a good landing. 14.500 (6.4, 8.100)

7:26 pm. Skye Blakely BB: Really lovely triple wolf turn. Great standing full, tiny step when she lands it. Front handspring with some knee form to front tuck to a split jump, a little bobble at the very end of that. Switch leap, back leg could be higher, to switch half, also not 100% there, but not terrible. Front aerial, bent knee and a slight check. Side aerial was better, knee was bent really only for the takeoff whereas for the aerial it stayed bent in the air. Almost stuck the double pike! Just a tiny step to the side. Great routine overall. 14.350 (6.2, 8.150)

7:23 pm. Simone Biles UB: Hop change to Weiler half to Maloney (leg separation) to blind full to piked Tkachev to Pak, really strong aside from the Maloney legs. Van Leeuwen, legs way apart, rotation is off, and she falls! Came up really short for the catch. Does it the second time cleanly, and then the toe full to full-in was hit with a bounce. 12.800 (5.6, 7.200)

7:22 pm. Madray Johnson BB: Assuming this is her routine, she just nailed the triple flight series. Onodi, some knee form, everything else looks good, nice switch leap though comes up a little short on the switch half. Double tuck rotated really slowly, chest down, pulls it back and sits it. Ughhh, a bummer. 12.250 (5.6, 6.650)

Joscelyn Roberson warming up bars in the background and looks good! Like for her it was a pretty great routine.

7:21 pm. Stream is back! Can’t tell if it’s started or not. Bars is still in warmup phase but beam may have started.

7:17 pm. They’re blocking the stream for the touch, so I guess we’ll be back in a couple of minutes!

7:16 pm. National anthem is over! Love the random flag taped to the wall. Simone Biles looks like PLEASE let me go warm up???

7:14 pm. Athletes are being introduced!

7:11 pm. Getting a “competition will begin soon” message. HURRY UPPPPP. I KNEW I started this blog too early hahaha. EVERY YEAR.

7:04 pm. Still slowly going through the beam roster for warmups. There will be two rotation groups here, it looks like 10 in one group and nine in the other. The start lists on MyUSAGym are once again in alphabetical order instead of competition order (lol) but thankfully it’s not a junior qualifier so I’ll know everyone by face!

7:00 pm. Not really paying attention to warmups since they jumped around a bit on the stream but Leanne Wong looks really clean and solid! Honestly slightly soft knees in her flight series and an imperfect ring are all the most egregious offenses on beam so far.

The worlds team will be so hard to make and her scores don’t have quite the potential as some others do, BUT if she can show the same consistency here that she had at nationals I wouldn’t want to leave her at home.

6:58 pm. Warmups are still underway! Hoping they’ll wrap up in two minutes?

6:51 pm. According to Scott Bregman, Katelyn Jong’s hands slipped on a Yurchenko double and she had to be carried out of the gym. 😦

Warmups are still going on, and they always do the national anthem even at camp meets (lol) so probably starting a little later than expected.

6:50 pm. Before we get started, I wanted to share a list of who’s in contention for both the U.S. world championships and Pan Am Games teams, and share that the top all-arounder after the first day of competition – aka today! – will automatically be named to the team.

Here’s the roster!

• Simone Biles
• Skye Blakely
• Jade Carey
• Jordan Chiles
• Kayla DiCello
• Amelia Disidore
• Addison Fatta
• Madray Johnson
• Shilese Jones
