All I'm wondering right now if last night was too emotional and too much of a high for Gabby to win it. It seems more often than not it pays to not have the win at Nationals whether it's gymnastics or FS when the field is deep.
She looked that way all through trials too. Never once looked the least bit nervous or anxious. People talk about the mental game more with beam'ers and sometimes bar workers more than vault specialists... But this gal either has a special talent for never letting things get to her, or she somehow manages to look like they aren't.
McKayla is actually the tallest...she is on a slope. That's why she is always banging her feet on the low bar in competition...that and the fact that she sucks at bars.
I found myself thinking when I saw the guys in theirs. Now, they're not as bad as the women's but they're still so big and baggy. It's not like these athletes are anything besides an XS & L (girls and guys)
My sentimental fave Nastia didn't make it but two of my faves Gabby and McKayla did! Congrats to all the ladies-I heart them all.♥ GO USA! KICK ASS IN LONDON!!
Haha, love this photo, it looks so much like something from MIOBI.
ReplyDeleteNy first thought, they were posing for MIOBI part 2

ReplyDeleteShe didn't win Nationals.
DeleteJordyn won Nationals. Gabby won Trials.
DeleteMcKayla always looks like she's up to no good or has a secret, haha!
ReplyDeleteMcKayla is deceptively tall.
ReplyDeleteHaha, leave it to Maroney to flash some bedroom eyes. Girl is such a diva, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI think they look more like "I've got a secret and I'm not gonna tell" eyes to me LOL! :D
DeleteMcKayla is plotting something.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like it.

ReplyDeleteI'm convinced they picked McKayla not just for her vaults, but also because she brings the fierce b*tch face. Every team needs that. ha.
ReplyDeleteLove McKayla's smirk!
ReplyDeleteLet the weave flow, Gabby.
ReplyDeleteIf they were aiming for height-order, it looks like McKayla should have been right behind Gabby.

DeleteCan't they find warmups that don't dwarf the poor kids? Sheesh...
ReplyDeleteHopefully they'll get them tailored before the Games. :)
Delete^^^ Right?! ^^^
