    Maroney was so underrated as an All-Around gymnast. I know she was spectacular on Vault, but she put up some pretty solid scores on the other events too

      She is great as an all round by injury took her out of contention. Her body couldnt take it much more which is why she specialised

    She really was more of an all around gymnast that just happened to be amazing at vault than a true vault specialist. She had many strengths.

    Mckayla has such beautiful lines and emphasizes artistry..she just needs to be a bit more consistent on her connections and I believe she can be a wonderful balance beam worker as well! She's beautiful to watch! :)

    I love Maroney. She was truly amaxing. I love how the floor music in the background went do well with her beam routine. If I was a gymnast this would be such a problem for me even though my routine would be choreographed to be a certain time I would want to go with the background music especially if it was latin based or a driving rhythm like the one played here.i almost wish beam routines were choreographed to music audiences complain that they are stale and predictable well with music attached I think it might cure that a little bit. Since flloor and beam are both 90 seconds (correct me if I'm wrong) a gymnast could have finese and grace in one while showing of her power house prowess in the other.

  • @catherineb8595
    @catherineb8595 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The highest scoring team combo is Jordyn, Aly, Gabby, McKayla and Kyla. There's no room for an extra bars specialist- with Kyla you are guaranteed great high-scoring beam and bars. With Nastia you haven't a clue what you're getting which is a bad thing, with Rebecca you are guaranteed a fall on dismount and wobbles, or else a huge deduction if she stands it up. With Anna you are getting a low-scoring beam and possibly an amazing bars- or a fall, she has fallen on it too much.

    @RoseAllDayyy 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i think she's got the goods to be a stronger beam worker. she's got nice lines and has great fluidity. i'd take a guess and say because she's focused on vault and floor more, beam doesn't get as much attention.

  • @vivianteng99
    @vivianteng99 12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Well, Kyla Ross is actually a pretty good bar worker. I'm thinking that the team will be Jordyn, Aly, Gabby, Kyla, and Mckayla. Kyla would be more valuable than Rebecca or Anna, since she is an all-arounder, and can score well on beam too. Rebecca is a good beam worker too, but if one of the vault people got injured for TF, Kyla Ross can easily step up and do a clean DTY.

  • @JBluver18
    @JBluver18 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I will be very surprised if Bross, Li, or Nastia make the team. Bross and Li are both too inconsistent on beam, and Nastia has yet to prove she can do a full routine, let alone a great one.
    Maroney is practically a lock for gold on vault (unless she seriously caves under pressure), and I think the USOC really wants her on the team for that reason. Barring a major collapse (or miracle performance) by someone at trials, I'm 95% certain the team will be Wieber, Raisman, Douglas, Maroney, and Ros

  • @TheReaverOfDarkness
    @TheReaverOfDarkness 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    balance.
    Each of the moves have been calculated before she ever went up there, by expert beam jumpers. She's specifically doing the balance moves that she's supposed to do because if done right it gives her a balance advantage. But if she jumps slightly off, she has to make an obvious and ungraceful fix to keep from falling, like what she did at 0:43

    • @grantgoffin4774
      @grantgoffin4774 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since there was just too much depth on the U.S team. Douglas, Wieber, Riasman were top 3 in the all around, a big points margin ahead of the others, in all the events leading up the Games. So they would be the 3 to do AA in prelims. Ross was put on the team for her bars and beam, so she was always going to do those events in prelims and team finals. Which left just vault and floor for Maroney. Due to her injury she didn't get to do floor at the Games though, or would have.

    @emilythompson1746 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Gymnastics would be funner if they didn't do floor and beam at the same time and the beam girl could select her own music for beam routine. I know it sounds weird, but could we just try it for once? I think it could be awesome.

  • @JonnyMason
    @JonnyMason 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jordyn, Aly, and Gabby are definitely going to go. The US needs one more bar worker. Nastia (hopefully she does better in the Olympic trials), Rebecca, or even Anna Li can fill that spot. The other one most likely be between Alicia and McKayla. Kyla Ross and Sarah Finnegan are in the mix as well. It's hard when there only 5 spots instead of 6.

    You can't have Alicia and Maroney, neither can do bars. Maroney is the better bet by far. Nastia is way too unstable to use, Becca'a bars don't score that high and her beam is a disaster waiting to happen. Kyla is the better bet by far. Aly, Gabby, Jordyn, Kyla and McKayla is the highest scoring team.
