With the olympics postponed, I wonder if this means a new class of elites will now be age eligible? To whom might this apply?
So many things to ponder and speculate on these days!
Do you think team selection will now be delayed roughly a year? Will all the Olympic hopefuls will stick with it another year? Will they move the minimum age cutoff to 2021? Who will be newly 16 and eligible if so?
Obviously Simone Biles is a lock to get a spot but who are your favorites to make the women’s team?
Have you been following any of the other gymnasts and hoping they get one of the spots?
I’m looking forward to watching the American Cup next month and of course the Olympic trials!
Does anyone have the scoop on the 2020 Olympic trials tickets? Right now they are only selling full session packages. Will they open up individual sessions at some point? And will they save some good seats or will all the good seats be taken by the full session tickets? Any advice on where to...

Shall be interesting to see how she stacks up to the up and coming Hurd, McCusker, McCallum and others...
Spinning off the SJ and Aly threads.
Who are the former gymnasts or other Olympic sport role models that you most admire and hope your DD or DS will notice and why?
During the Olympics, I made it a point to talk about Katie Ledecky. She is one of the best swimmers of all time, a student at...

Surprised it took this long.
We were stoked last night to find out that our music was being used at the Olympics! Asuka Teramoto of Japan used one of our Energym Originals - "Dream Chaser" - in her floor routine! We had no idea it was being used, but we heard it in the background during the beam competition...
Post your favorite routines here! And please if possible, not only US gymnasts. They are awesome for sure and everyone knows their routines by now so I would like to hear people's thoughts about other countries' less known gymnasts.
My new beam favorite is Flavia Saraiva from Brasil! And I...
First time actually paying attention to the Olympics and I've read this article:

I just want to be sure that I understand how it works. So, the qualifications were yesterday and from that, they take the top teams, then the top 8...
Does anyone know if live coverage of the women's team final on Tuesday at 3:00pm will be shown on television (any NBC station)? We had planned a team viewing party for the afternoon, but I can only find it listed to be shown during prime time coverage at 8pm. Please help .
4 up for qualifications and only 2 can qualify for all around and 2 for event finals. The two all arounders will definitely be Simone and either gabby (boo), Laurie, or Aly. Will they let all three compete to battle it out for the second spot or will they sit the girls out on their weaker...
