#olympics #paris #gold These ladies are in my next tier of competitors who have a chance of making the Olympic Team. Can 1 or more of them find there way onto the team?
Nice analysis! Jordan has an attempted 6D on bars. If she doesn't absorb those medium deductions like the turn handstand then the extra kip, the domestic judges were about to give her 14.5 on bars. But like you said, going by what they showed. But I just don't know why she does 6C+ acro elements on beam. The mount is ok. Side somi / side aerial can pick one.
@@gymjam2024 I TOTALLY agree with you when it comes to the lack of standards for the team. It appears that in a quest to distance themselves from the way that Martha in particular did things they have gone to the other extreme and as such have forsaken the GOOD methods that she employed in order to come up with the most formidable team. As a result, we have people vying for a spot on the team who don't have at least an Amanar on vault nor a 6. difficulty on floor, two apparatuses on which the US in years passed, would far outscore every other team.
Skye is a huge mistake. I think a lower start value with high consistency is more valuable than high start value and a hit rate below 50%. Skye is a wildcard. You don't know what she's going to do when she gets up there. Considering she failed at two worlds, and Olympic pressure is much higher, my bet is that she's going to be falling, meaning the US will have to count lower scores anyway. Out of all of these i think Jordan is the only good choice, unfortunately. I would love for it to be leeann, but i wouldn't take her for the same reason i wouldn't take Trinity. Both beautiful gymnasts, both severely lack difficulty.
@@duranca That is so true. Russia beam all collapsed in 2015 and ROC fell twice on beam in 2021. But Skye can be put last if she’s picked (very low possibility but it could). Jade-Jordan-Skye beam score is only 0.2 behind Leanne-Shi-Simone beam score in TF, because beam is beaming. Skye needs to at least hit all bars and beam at national and trials.
@@stevenpop2746 she's only going to score well if she hits, which.... We know she won't. At least not yet. If she continues with elite training I would definitely put her on the team for '28. She's not ready yet. I'm not sure it's really fair to compare her to Gabby though. Gabby is one of the best of all time. Skye, well... 🫣
@@stevenpop2746 what does her race have to do with anything? I'm saying she will fall because that's what Skye does. That is literally what she's known for. If a white or Asian gymnast had her hit rate I would say the same thing. In fact, I have said the same thing about Suni Lee and her bars routine that she continually falls on. Nice try though.
If Marta were still in charge, all top US candidates would have been invited to all the camps. She would have been speaking to their coaches. I remember she would advise details as minuscule as changes to floor music. The girls would have been prepared to compete if not given international assignments.
Leanne only had 7 counting elements on floor. She did Popa and split jump 1/1 (both are equal in the code) so she counted 1 C instead of 2 C. If she did another C dance, her D score is 5.6. (I know going by what they showed. I think Leanne will change next week. )
@@gymjam2024 It seems working for Jade, but Leanne's focus maybe more on non-gymnastics aspects, so she's kinda losing in the 3rd AA race. I agree Jordan has an advantage.
This whole video was REAL and fair!!!!… not one lie told especially about what you said in regards to the USA not having a level of standard to attain to!…I hate to say this but MARTHA had standards and did not play…USA has gymnasts still not ready for the Olympics 2 months away because they are testing the waters still…Martha would of had girls Olympic ready from last year and used this year to clean up,get solid and be more than ready (I’m not condoning her abuse only praising her seriousness in terms of being absolutely READY for major events!)#TeamSkye
With Martha, I always felt we knew the team ahead of time and the gymnasts knew the jobs they had to do. This year, outside of Simone, Shilese, and Jade, it's a free for all with no direction.
And with Martha half of them would have been injured by the time the Olympics came around just like poor Konnor. Remember 2008, Martha cost USA the gold medal by running Memmel and Peszek into the ground with injuries and turning Sacramone into a head case
The start value analysis is a little flawed, for example on bars Skye attempts a 5.9, Jordan a 6.0, Kayla a 6.1. When Kayla hit that 56 her credited difficulty was 5.0 + 6.1 + 6.0 + 5.7 = 22.8
Hi! For the sake of the video, I only went by what they actually showed/performed/were credited because I am just really trying to learn the Code. I thought I said this in the video, my apologies if I didn't.
Simone also needs to upgrade her beam routine a bit to medal. And I know she wants a gold on beam and the Chinese girls are good. I know she won't medal on uneven bars.
Kayla is a world bronze medalist- so to say her scores wouldn’t hold up internationally is just plain dumb. She has already won the bronze medal at Worlds in Japan in 2021! She also gold in the all around at the pan games in Santiago last year. U need to do more research so what ur saying goes with actual facts - but nice try on the video. U will get better the more u do and I will support ur channel cuz I love the sport!
I like Kayla, but that was 2021 - three years ago. Also she was bronze medalist because none of the 5 actual Olympians (Simone, Suni, Jordan, Jade, Grace M.) were there to compete since they opted out of Worlds to go on the GOAT tour. What matters is how and what Kayla does "now". She is talented and certainly capable, but will need to show the selection committee during Nationals and Olympic trials.
@@duranca that has nothing to do with u saying her scores won't hold up internationally. That's the point of my reply when u are a world all around bronze medalist u have succeeded internationally
@@antzvoli4577 I didn't say anywhere or at anytime that her scores wouldn't hold up, where did you see that? However, she is vying for a spot with others who have also competed internationally and also score higher than she does, namely, Simone, Shilese, Jordan, Jade. She needs to try to at least get up to that 5th spot to be considered for the team. Maybe she'll be at her best at Nationals/Trials and grab one of the top spots, but that remains to be seen. That's what I meant by "she will need to show the selection committee during Nationals and Olympic trials." I really hope she does well, she seems committed and was smart to leave NCAA for the year to focus on elite.
Nice analysis!

I feel that if the Committee were on their job and giving feedback, it would help a lot.
@@gymjam2024 totally 👍

@@aliciamcdonald7105 I agree. People did a huge knee jerk reaction to Martha. Instead of keeping the good, they threw out all of the bath water.

Agreed. Plus a fall can start a domino effect of falls.

Lower D but high consistency > higher D but low consistency exactly right on beam!

Yes, Marta always made sure the coaches and athletes knew what was expected of them. Even the commentators knew.
Exactly, and Shilese, Jade, Kaliya, etc...would have been dusting themselves from PacRims, instead of the C team that was sent instead.
@@duranca 💯
IMO kayla and leanne are the perfect alternates 😑
I still think Sunni will get in shape and will be in the team. probably no for gabby, but what about Tiana?
tiana isn't even in the conversation
I really like her but she's not ready for Paris.
Tiana can medal on floor at Worlds 2025. She’s only 16 and she’ll be a contender for 2028 if she wants it and is healthy
Leanne only had 7 counting elements on floor. She did Popa and split jump 1/1 (both are equal in the code) so she counted 1 C instead of 2 C. If she did another C dance, her D score is 5.6. (I know going by what they showed. I think Leanne will change next week. )
I’m starting to lose hope for Leanne. I really feel like she should have taken the year off from College to focus on Elite.
@@gymjam2024 It seems working for Jade, but Leanne's focus maybe more on non-gymnastics aspects, so she's kinda losing in the 3rd AA race. I agree Jordan has an advantage.
@@cocoroni1031 True, but I believe Jade’s dad is on ORST staff, so I’m thinking that made it much easier.
@@gymjam2024 Does it mean like Jade has more training time / endurance training than allowed in NCAA?
@@gymjam2024 Absolutely, she needed the year off.

@@Plaspos This is a very fair point. I do think Martha learned her lesson though as 2012 and 2016 went a lot better.
Marta would’ve blackballed Skye Blakely tho let’s be fr
@@gymlandia4467 all I will say is….lets all wait for nationals and trials ❤

Hi Jamal, I just heard that Suni's petition to compete AA at Nationals has been granted.
Simone also needs to upgrade her beam routine a bit to medal. And I know she wants a gold on beam and the Chinese girls are good. I know she won't medal on uneven bars.
I agree, but from what Cecille said in a recent interview, they have no plans to upgrade her beam routine as she is very comfortable with it.
Awesome Analysis! So many falls on bars at Classic very disappointing.
Exactly! Chellsie is a World Gold and Silver medalist and the Technical Lead, a Brevet Judge, and yet the US sucks on bars.....😑😑
