she looks sooo much better now, though I still stand with my initial opinion that she should just get surgery already and ease her way back slowly for 2020.
@Daniel Rocha I agree I competition for world's is nothing compared to all the podium training and competition at world's.. thus was short world is a long competition..I don't think her ankle is ready
I dont know how I feel about Ragan now after her injury. National Championships were really rough for her but bounced back during this competition. Still has a ton of work to do but she may make the team just because of experience
I don't know why her coaches are still pushing her to join the camp. tbh she has a low chance to be selected as she is not as competitive as other girls but her body definitely need a rest and surgery. see how riley took a break last year and she bounces back now.
They're going to pick which of the 6 girls is going to be an alternate at Worlds though. She has a high chance of being the alternate given her scores, imo.
She used to be my favorite but since the ankle injury, she’s not the same. Even her attitude doesn’t seem the same. I would love to see her in the 2020 olympics but she needs surgery or a break to heal. She would’ve had 3 years to recover and come back.. really breaks my heart to see her like this
i actually think its a joke that she's on the worlds team. She was a mess at nationals and the classic. I hope she is the alternate, because I'm pretty sure its between her and Kara. Kara could challenge for a beam medal but Ragan would be 2-per-countried out of the AA by Morgan and Simone and beam by Simone and Morgan if Kara didn't go. Her floor could make a final but her messy landing on the arabian and the triple will make it difficult for a medal. She's a personal fave, don't get me wrong, but I think its kinda unfair
Yeah. I don’t get it. She is such a great performer. And clearly skilled. She is fighting her body, and it scares me. I hope she is the alternate for health reasons. She has the tenacity of a champion, which can lead to pushing to come back too soon.
Sophie Golding she has to upgrade her bars and floor to even be considered for the AA. If Hurd brings back her moors, that’ll knock ragan out of the AA completely. She needs to take the time off. She doesn’t want to blow out her ankle if she has a bad landing.
Matthew Armbruster yeah she could be tbh. I still think she deserves a spot. Definitely one of the dark horses at nationals. 4th in the all around behind a 4 time olympic gold medal and a current world champion!
do you think she’s being pushed to continue competing so she can help the team win but not necessarily win anything individually? since she has more experience and is more likely to hit at worlds compared to someone new?
Way better than the summer, but still :/ I just really wish she'd take some time off or at least change her passes. The Double arabian and triple aren't working.
I've never actually liked Ragan personally, her dancing always annoyed me and for some reason I just don't like her. She makes me cringe, not her gymnastics... Her. #sorryaboutit But I've always been able to see that she was actually great during 2016-2017. The amplitude, the power, the height of her skills now is very lacking. She used to have a fire about her but now she just seems like she prays to make it through the pain and is kind of sad. She should get surgery, she really should. Idk why she insisted to comeback this year, she should've sit this one out and come back next year. Now it might be too late for surgery and her chances to make that Tokyo team with that ankle and her competition are very thin. Sad, honestly. I thought she had so much potential.
I don't know why but I just hate watching her. Kudos to her for great skills but it's just something about her execution that makes her routine looks so choppy.

Well she made the world team so... who knows what will happen now
Well now it would be “too close” to the Olympics for her to do surgery. The two years prior is important for many gymnast to “qualify” and “present”.
Surgery ? For what ?
Do not know if it's better surgery than only physiotherapy. I agree to slowly go for 2020.
her ankle that she injured at World's LAST YEAR.
Holy crap that is the best double arabian I've ever seen her do, much improved!!! I'm so happy that she's on the team!
Shay Meredith Do you mean this year? Because she has done much, much better double Arabians than this...
I was thinking that too!!!
@Daniel Rocha I agree I competition for world's is nothing compared to all the podium training and competition at world's.. thus was short world is a long competition..I don't think her ankle is ready
I love her! But I have to say.she could rest and then compete in 2019! She had Awesome floor routine!
what was her surgery on again?
I dont know how I feel about Ragan now after her injury. National Championships were really rough for her but bounced back during this competition. Still has a ton of work to do but she may make the team just because of experience
Kim looks so proud

Winnie Tam she’s 18 I don’t know why you assume this is her coaches doing
Troll
Winnie Tam she was selected tho
She must be too frustrated from last year
They're going to pick which of the 6 girls is going to be an alternate at Worlds though. She has a high chance of being the alternate given her scores, imo.
Omg this could’ve gone SO MUCH WORSE, she did phenomenal for not having surgery
So good to see her better now !
Awesome routine! Am I the only one who saw the video again to see what Biles was doing in the background?
Looking so much better!!!❤️❤️
Wow,that was SO good 👏
Her floor routine is the greatest
She used to be my favorite but since the ankle injury, she’s not the same. Even her attitude doesn’t seem the same. I would love to see her in the 2020 olympics but she needs surgery or a break to heal. She would’ve had 3 years to recover and come back.. really breaks my heart to see her like this
She just needed a new ankle to be competitive again! Way to go Ragan!
Her routine is amazing!! First!!
Is it just the angle of the video, b/c after she sets for her saltos she seems to go a little bit sideways.
do I see Simone?

she improved so much from the US champs!
I want her on the team omg
Matthew Armbruster she made it!!!!
I really hope she can get back to her 2017 form in time for the Olympics
So glad she looks so much better!!
Love that she made the world's team, though I think she will be the alternate. It's between her and Kara.
Good job Ragan!!!
she back!
She's building up her confidence.
awesome 💪
Nice Ragan!!! So improved:):)
Way better than the summer, but still :/ I just really wish she'd take some time off or at least change her passes. The Double arabian and triple aren't working.
Nice ragan. I luv it.
So happy that she could do well finally kinda sad about the bars fall but the rest was great
Hi
Was ragan doing the biles?
Nope, only double layout
SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!! Shes back 😉
She is amazing damn injuries........
Poor girl. Lost her chances of gold at AA. She was so good last year
Wish she would just get surgery already
Her family and Abi walker have already come out and said she never needed surgery and her ankle is actually healed pretty well.
I find that kind of hard to believe based on her performances recently and how much pain she seemed to be in at Nationals...
She has had it and she's in a boot right now. It was on the gymternet
She didn't do so well at this selection camp. I'm wondering how she made it....
but like look at how much BETTER her double Arabian is!!!
I want her to go to Worlds but it will be heartbreaking if she is included in the Worlds team again and got injured last minute again.
N

i just can’t get behind this choreography.
thebrlocke meeeee eitherrrr! She older now - time to get something more mature!
thebrlocke I love this routine omg
This one is WAY more mature than the addams family routine in 2016 and the one she did in 2017
I don't know why but I just hate watching her. Kudos to her for great skills but it's just something about her execution that makes her routine looks so choppy.
