Lol, you think that's bad, take a look at ballroom dance not just any crystals while your competing but the ones "you need to have" apparently are swavorski. I can't afford the gowns with the swavorski they are like 3 grand to 8. I have to do with what I have. It sucks to see that people...

If gabby is on point like Marta stated, and is like she was at worlds it's possible Hernandez may not qualify for AA. love her, being a Jersey girl myself, perhaps she will, whoever does though I am really excited to watch. They are a plethora of talent and all worked hard.

Actually I beg to differ with 'best in the world' 3rd best that day at trials or 2nd best at P&G ITA. However gabby has the 2nd best in world title though. It goes back to that idea that gymnastics does not exist in a vacuum. The only person who deserves AA due to proven consistency coming in...

Quite frankly as a former coach and gymnast and a middle school season on the track team I am happy gymnastics is NOT like track. gymnastics is not the type of sport that really exist in a vacuum! At one point some one can be doing well then within a month someone else is on top. That's just the...

Yeah, with the whole bars thing, I doubt that the ideal thing will happen. I'd like to see something similar play out where gabby does not have that AA pressure on her ideally. I'd love to see Laurie AA as a fellow Jersey girl! She seems emotionally constant as well.

Yes, my prediction does, but that wouldn't, be my plan. When I used to coach I was very much just as concerned with gymnast's mental game too! Mind you I just coached the babies 4s, and 5s. These are elites so I doubt they are equally concerned with stress and the mentality though. I think it is...

Exactly, due to only having 5 members it will be virtually impossible for 4 to even try to even try to qualify for AA. We already know Kocian will not qualify because she is primarily a bars specialist although they could put her possibly on beam. That leaves 3 girls that are all AA girls to...

Pro...you make a good point I believe last olympics during quals Aly scored better than gabby. Laurie is more relatable to that high energy 16 year old 2012 gabby. What is confusing though is the fact Ashton mentioned Marta wants Lauren for bars. Perhaps only in team finals though.

It looks like it will really come down to who competes bars in quals that will determine who will be going to compete AA. I couldn't imagine Simone being sat out in quals. Kocian is in there. I believe they will include gabby in quals b/c Us is on the struggle bus with bars. So I am really...

I am a former gymnastics coach for 11 years. I taught L4s and L5s. I also was resonsible for pre-team and Hot Shots. I left right before the big change in compulararies (when level 4 became level 3s) I now am an elementary teacher (3rd grade) in an urban community! I love the kids and want to...

I don't really think Gabby's happiness is the priority. Marta seems to be very data driven she will put in whoever makes the most sense data wise and disregard anyone's feelings.

Here is the article where Ashton talks about whom will be doing bars at team finals: http://www.wafb.com/story/32461626/huntersville-gymnast-ashton-locklear-in-olympics-limbo-but-still-celebrating Here is Marta's post-trial interview eluding to the fact they need gabby in vault...

Aly worked hard, but don't know if Marta would jeopardize Laurie a higher scoring bars for ally. It will come down to either Aly or Laurie competing on bars. In a post trials interview Marta already basically stated she was putting gabby on vault and bars those are definitely locks for gabby! I...

yes it will be interesting! I am thinking Laurie and Simone will eventually make it for AA . Who knows though???

This is just a hypothetical look at what the quals will look like. I am interested how others will perceive the way it may go down. By all means this is just for fun. Use stats and/or logical reasoning for your picks :)! Bars Kocian (def. in has international title) Douglas- strongest event...

S She earned it! I'll state it again. In you opinion who do you think 'earned' the spot and based on what data or stat?

Everybody sees thing differently and I respect everyone's point of view, but I completely agree with Marta on her decision. I can see her perspective and I don't think it has anything to do with favoritism. The lady wants to win, she is close to all the girls and I am sure it was a tough...

I train ballroom dance. I love it! I am also a gymnastics coach. Its a lot more fun then other dances. It would help with her frame, lines, keeping shoulders back, and not looking down at the floor.

These predictions are very interesting! I love how everyone has different view points; makes things ore interesting. It gives people different things to consider. This seems like fun! Okay so here are mine. (I feel like we need to consider stronger all around gymnast this time around instead of...
