Congrats to CB's own Joscelyn Roberson for making the worlds team! Super competitive field and she really brought it at the trial, especially on vault! I'm also excited for Shilese Jones, as we recently bought a house just minutes from her gym and I've been taking our baby there for preschool...
So it looks like Kara (surprisingly) didn't qualify for EF.

What confuses me is her difficulty score.
Her beam routine today
(D 5.4)
I compared it to this routine (with difficulty explained)
(D 6.8)
So I can see she took out her...
So cool! We were able to go watch the meet today, and they were amazing. Some bobbles that were unusual toward the end, but overall, just an amazing showing!
Here is the team going to Stuttgart!
So Jade Carey and Trinity Thomas declined invites to the selection camp, and are, I presume, not going to compete this year at Worlds at all.
Everything still seems murky to me on how one can get to the next Olympic Games, but I do know that the reasoning of these 2 ladies has to do with their...
The British team for worlds was announced last week as:
James Hall
Dominick Cunningham
Joe Fraser
Nile Wilson
Max Whitlock
Travelling Alternate- Brinn Bevan
Excited to see these guys in action!!!
Reminder that USAG is doing a webcast of worlds selection camp for the men today. Link is .
I would guess they will be paying close attention to the number of views, so even if you can only pop in briefly, I think clicking on that link will send an important message about the enthusiasm that...
Putting the social media drama aside, it was a great weekend of performances at the GK Classic. I was pretty impressed by Riley and trying to figure how everyone fits in. Top tier seem to be Simone, Ragan, Morgan, Riley, and Jade. There are others as well with one or 2 events, but we are out of...
I know this doesn’t affect too many of us, but FYI here it is!

Puma Jr goes Monday (6/25) at 11:45am, then if she qualifies to Bronze EF, Tuesday at 9am. Her Silver (specialist- bars and floor) is Friday at 11:45am, then if she qualifies to Silver EF, Saturday at 9am. This...
Just curious what the next big gymnastics event will be now that Worlds is over?? I'm assuming just the start of the JO optionals season and college gymnastics??? Do most colleges start competing in January?? That's when our JO optionals start competing. I for one cannot wait for meet season...
Doesn't look like she did the whole Hopes/Jr. Elite/Sr. Elite route. Competed at level 10 last year and is a 1st year Sr. Elite this year and is now on her way to Worlds!
Looking at her scores, she did 2 years at level 9 and was barely breaks 9.0 on Bars during her first couple years at level...
Anyone else want to make early predictions for team USA? No team competition so they will likely take best 2 all-arounders and next two spots will go to those with potential for individual event medals, that also balance each other since only 3 per country in qualifying per event. What a time...
Thank you to all who have asked and sent well wishes! It wasn't a great meet overall, but nothing tragic, nothing below 8 and AA above 34, so it could have been worse. But she did place 3rd of 44 (yes FORTY FOUR kids in the age group...) so she made event finals for bars! She was disappointed...
