The US can afford a 2 event gymnast easily enough though. They've never yet used all 6 gymnasts in TFs so frankly it will make no difference at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-30059878860549474562010-06-26T17:05:37.263-07:002010-06-26T17:05:37.263-07:00It probably has more to do with the fact that we a...It probably has more to do with the fact that we are going down to five girls.

They both only had a 2 out of 4 hit ratio. If we're setting the bar so high for US beamers that one fuck up disqualifies you from doing it in TFs, we're going to have a very short list to choose from. Bross would also be out. Memmel would have to be dug up again, then Raisman, and I don't know who else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-17112787843416310162010-06-25T21:40:12.069-07:002010-06-25T21:40:12.069-07:00Thanks for the info, nashvilledancer.Thanks for the info, nashvilledancer.Brianhttp://twitter.com/BSeditornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-79257991753898313532010-06-25T21:03:49.241-07:002010-06-25T21:03:49.241-07:00Shawn and Nastia both had beam mishaps in 07 world...Shawn and Nastia both had beam mishaps in 07 worlds. They both competed beam for the team competition in Beijing. Fact is, having Alicia back is a huge break for this team because she is a natural leader, and her vaults help us tremendously. But I do love her floor :) And one beam fall does not constitute her not being a "beamer". If that is so, then neither are Shawn and Nastia, and if you remember correctly, the only event Nastia competed at VISAs last year was beam, and they put her on the national team, and considered her for worlds until she pulled herself out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-64872260340179277942010-06-25T15:45:19.575-07:002010-06-25T15:45:19.575-07:00Antonio Najarro, who choreographed Pechalat-Bourza...Antonio Najarro, who choreographed Pechalat-Bourzat and Anissina-Peizerrat's flamenco ODs, and Lambiel's tango program. Translation of Najarro's comments from his Facebook page, on Jeremy's Facebook fan page: "Najarro has created for Abbott extremely complex and vanguard choreography, which will be much talked about in upcoming competitions in the season 2010-2011". Jeremy commented that his brain was sore attempting to learn the choreography.

(Abbott also seemed a bit too sad the dude was leaving...) Flamenco should be interesting. And add "Mask of Zorro" to the list of music that needs to be retired.

One fall does not an inconsistent beamer make. I appreciate that she fucked up in 08 when it really mattered, but she was the team's top beam scorer in both 06 and 07. Saying that, I can see why she's been told to train floor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
