Welcome to the live blog for the senior women’s podium training at the 2026 U.S. Classic, held in Hartford, Connecticut.

Please refresh your browser every few minutes to see the most recent updates, which will appear at the top of the page.

3:23 pm. Okay, I think we’re wrapping up, just a couple still drilling on bars and beam so I am probably going to run but will pop back in if something THRILLING happens! Thanks for following along and will be live blogging both juniors and seniors during the competition tomorrow! Also going to do Hopes Championships tonight.

3:17 pm. Katelyn Ohashi working double pikes on floor, which should replace the back layout she’s been doing previously and at American Classic! Now just need to learn what her first pass will ultimately be, I don’t think I’ve seen anything. I assume front double full or something because she was doing front timers.

Jade Carey on bars again, full-twisting double layout dismount looks solid.

3:12 pm. Katelyn Ohashi dance-through now! Looks like a little tumbling as well. 1.5 to front full to start. Super fun set, I love it so much. Back layout for the last pass, placeholder for a double back eventually I assume.

Jade Carey back on bars for toe-on to Bhardwaj, van Leeuwen with some form, Ezhova, Maloney to Gienger, lots of form so far, just not super tight in her legs on anything.

Leanne dance-through on floor, I saw her do a front full. Switch to tour jeté half. Timer for the last pass and then a Popa. Can’t decide if she’ll do floor tomorrow, watered down if anything.

Ally Damelio working triple fulls on floor.

3:08 pm. Dulcy Caylor hit a bit of a scrappy DTY on vault just now.

Isabella Anzola UB – Weiler half to stalder full, super rushed but good fight. Maloney to stalder to Ricna, fall. Back on for Pak, van Leeuwen, and double layout.

Nearly stuck Yurchenko 1.5 from Reese Esponda, I’d guess she’s working up to the double!

Jade caught the Bhardwaj on bars, van Leeuwen with a little push.

Skye doing her dance-through on floor! Just timers for tumbling though.

3:05 pm. Nice double pike from Simone Rose on floor.

Skye Blakely doing some leaps on floor, I don’t think she’s planning on doing anything on this apparatus this weekend though.

Random front layout from Leanne, then front full. Guessing she might go for floor!

Izzy Stassi on UB, Weiler half to Maloney to clear hip to Church, great! Clean Pak and van Leeuwen.

3:03 pm. Leanne Wong working wolf turns on floor. We’ll see if she tumbles! She’s done about 70 million wolf turns so far lol. Idk what’s so funny about her approach to this podium training but it’s all sending me.

Simone Rose with a clean double tuck on floor to start.

3:01 pm. Moving into the final rotation!

2:56 pm. More Katelyn Ohashi on beam! Switch to switch half to back handspring, flawless. Good tucked gainer full.

Caroline Moreau on bars, Maloney to clear hip to piked Tkachev all nice, Pak, goes a bit wild coming out of it and hops off.

More Leanne on beam! Went for a side aerial…loso? But tucked it and went off the beam. Did the same thing again after that lol. Then like, skipped away. She’s thriving. HHHOKAY she got it the 500th time so we’re in business.

Simone Rose working 2.5 dismounts off beam.

2:52 pm. Slowing down a bit, vault and floor are basically done and just a few still going on bars and beam. Hit double tuck dismount from Greta Krob just now, also working a triple series.

Zoey Molomo UB – straddle Jaeger, Pak, toe-on to van Leeuwen, nice float to the high bar, blind full, blind change to double front, great!

2:50 pm. Leanne Wong back on beam, front aerial was nice. side somi with a wobble but fight. Side aerial. Tucked gainer dismount again.

Zoey Molomo I think with a Jaeger, then clean Pak to toe-on, clean van Leeuwen.

2:47 pm. I haven’t really seen Reese Esponda on floor yet, she’s doing her dance through now and threw the 2.5 to front tuck at the end, nice!

Another good standing arabian from Katelyn Ohashi on beam followed by a perfect bhs loso. Switch to switch half, nice, to back handspring. Side somi. Tuck gainer full dismount.

2:42 pm. Mostly good stuff from Caroline Moreau on bars, arched over a handstand near the end but got the double layout dismount.

Clean dance through from Tatum Drusch on floor. Did a double pike at the end.

More Skye on beam. Standing full! Had a step but yes queen.

Nice full-twisting double layout from Lila Richardson off bars.

2:40 pm. Leanne Wong on beam now! Front aerial, split jump to straddle jump, iffy there. Side somi good. Gainer tuck dismount.

2:37 pm. Dulcy Caylor goes for whip full through to double tuck to front tuck, sat the latter.

Really aggressive bhs loso loso from Simone Rose on beam! Lovely.

Mostly good stuff from Lila Richardson on bars, little things here and there.

Katelyn Ohashi gets the standing arabian, better height than we saw at American Classic I think.

Great Yurchenko 1.5 from Izzy Stassi.

2:33 pm. So I guess Leanne Wong was supposed to be on bars in the last rotation but didn’t do anything on bars, I think I’m MAYBE thinking she’ll vault given that she played around there but probably won’t do bars given that she did nothing today? Who knows with that diva. She does look like she’s out of sweats over by beam but I haven’t seen her do anything yet!

Nice loso loso from Greta Krob on beam.

Zoey Molomo on bars caught a release and Pak. Woooo.

SKye Blakely working wolf turns and a standing back tuck on beam. Hit the front handspring front tuck series with a wobble. Gorg punch front pike. Switch switch half back tuck.Front aerial to split jump to back handspring. Timer for a dismount. Looks fab there!

Someone on floor just did a whip half straight to double tuck, I didn’t see who.

2:30 pm. Rotation 3! The “Not Al Fong but I thought it was Al Fong every time I saw him at a meet because he is bald and has gloves” coach who was at GAGE for a bit is at Cincinnati now it seems. No more gloves! It’s a GAGE thing. RIP.

Nice toe-on work from Zoey Molomo on bars. Looks clean and controlled.

Think I spy Katelyn Ohashi on beam…yes. Working wolf turns and leaps right now. And the gainer dismount.

2:26 pm. Basically wrapping up this rotation. Simone moved on from the Weilers and has looked good, just doing her routine kinda piecemeal though, nothing whole from what I’ve seen anyway.

2:23 pm. Simone Rose again! Weiler half , arched over and comes off. Really struggling with the handstand angle and is getting coached on that now.

Leanne did nothing in that floor rotation but now that no one else is doing anything she’s working what seems like her beam series. Give her her own space pls!

2:19 pm. Aki Tanda going for a switch ring on beam, not bad.

Simone Rose on bars, I keep missing her! Gets a little stuck in the Weiler then walks away.

2:16 pm. I feel like every time I see Skye on bars she’s just doing toe-on-adjacent skills. Don’t think I saw any complete-ish routines from her.

Good double pike off beam from Dulcy Caylor.

Lovely front full through to double tuck from Alessia Rosa on floor.

2:12 pm. Skye Blakely on bars with a toe full to van Leeuwen, toe half to front giant to double front half, nice.

Leanne not warming up floor, back in her sweats and just kinda leaping on the side.

Nice double layout from Isabella Anzola on floor.

2:10 pm. Zoey Molomo with a REALLY nice Yurchenko 1.5 just now.

Ally Damelio gets the Seitz to Pak this time, Maloney to Gienger, toe full, blind change to double front, good!

2:08 pm. Ally Damelio with a Weiler half and Seitz, every time she does the Seitz she gets lil applause.

Good bhs loso loso from Tatum Drusch.

Greta Krob still struggling a bit with her bars dismount.

Another really strong double double from Izzy Stassi on floor.

Yurchenko 1.5s from Zoey Molomo and I think Caroline Moreau after her.

2:06 pm. Ally Damelio with her Seitz to Pak.

Wiler half to stalder full from Greta Krob. Actually accidentally did a stalder 1.5 and came off. Then Maloney to Ray, clean Pak, messy van Leeuwen. Hard crash on the dismount but she looked pretty nice on this overall I’d say?

Zoey Molomo with lots of power on vault.

Skye Blakely on bars now, toe full to toe-on to toe-on to toe-on to…okay she’s just working toe ons lmfao.

Someone on floor just did a double double! Izzy Stassi?? I can’t tell. OH, yes! And she’s with KJ Kindler as her coach!

2:04 pm. Skye Blakely on bars with some toe-ons and stalders to start.

Lovely 2.5 to front tuck from Isabella Anzola on floor.

Simone Rose starts bars with a Maloney to Wiler, nice.Double layout dismount.

Jade Carey on floor with a double layout, clean, step back.

2:02 pm. Trying to pay attention to Jade on floor. Just started with a double back.

Nice double front from Ally Damelio off bars.

1:58 pm. About to move on to the second rotation!

1:54 pm. Jade Carey back on beam with a nice switch to switch half to straddle in terms of connections – little short on the half but the other two look better than they did earlier in the rotation.

1:53 pm. Sorry, I’m working technically (day job) so I just missed a bunch of stuff over the past few minutes but should be able to lock in again soon.

1:45 pm. Dance throughs happening on floor.  Haven’t really seen any tumbling yet.

Now Leanne jumping into back fulls off the vault. Maybe her strategy was to wait for all the other girlies to get their vaults over with so she can now have it to herself.

1:43 pm. Okay, now Leanne working back tucks off of the vault. I feel like we will not see her vault this weekend but maybe just trying to stay warm right now.

Trinity Wood with a good release on bars, nice Pak as well.

Someone on beam just had a really nice bhs loso loso! I THINK Isabella Anzola but can’t see faces from here.

Good straddle Jaeger and double layout from Tatum Drusch on bars.

1:38 pm. Jade Carey on beam with a switch to switch half (wobble).

Aki Tanda looks good on bars.

Leanne Wong hasn’t vaulted but HAS jumped onto and off of the vault one million times so there’s that.

Tatum Drusch on bars with a lovely van Leeuwen.

I can barely see who’s on beam I fear.

1:34 pm. Still trying to figure out who is where everyone is in these rotation groups, the first rotation is always a struggle.

Dulcy Caylor about to go on bars. Toe full to Maloney to Pak, some little form things throughout. Van Leeuwen legs were a bit wild and she couldn’t reach the high bar.

1:31 pm. The first rotation is underway! It always starts off a little slowly but just saw Elaina Sliney with a nice front double full to front tuck on floor!

1:24 pm. General stretch ends in five minutes! Will have updates from each of the rotations from today’s podium training then.
