Look at Laurie Hernandez she has such a beautiful soul❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Absolutely love her❤
Laurie is so eloquent and professional!! Love seeing her getting the spotlight here
The US is the overwhelming favorite to win team gold, no matter who makes the team.
They will be slight favorites to win team gold without Simone but they are definitely OVERWHELMING favorite once she is part of it.
@@aliciamcdonald7105They’d still be the favorite without Simone since Russia won’t be competing. That’s usually our biggest competition.
@@aliciamcdonald7105they won 2022 Worlds without Simone, so it's definitely possible.
@@Canary12345 I never said they would not be favorites. I said they would be SLIGHT favorites and that is based on FACTS.
@@fayeslover Did you read my comment? I said they would be SLIGHT favorites WITHOUT Simone but overwhelming favorites WITH her and that is a FACTUAL statement. Every other team will fancy their chances against a US team without Simone but will feel they are only competing for silver or bronze with her in the team.
The easy 3 for me are: Simone, Suni, and Shylese. Laurie is so gorgeous!
I adore Laurie Hernandez and it brings me so much joy to see her still involved in gymnastics
Laurie a beautiful soul inside and out so glad she's a part of this journey commentating
USA has a 5-6 point lead in difficulty for the Women’s Team Final in Paris they are the clear favorites
Too bad Russia cannot compete. If not, the competition will be neck-to-neck.
Maybe not
I agree with lori.This is the year that men's gymnastics are gonna battle.Brody is my favorite but Frederick Richard.Another top contender
God I love Laurie
Laurie Hernandez what a beauty and good sportscaster.the diction the delivery perfect 10.
Simone shielese skye are my top 3 and the others that are in contention jade suni Jordan
LAURIE
I love laurie hernandez she's the best. My top picks are Simone, .Shilese, Skye, Suni, Jordan and kayla & Leeanne
I'm looking forward to the day when Laurie Hernandez will be the main commentator for NBC gymnastics and if she can be paired with some younger, enthusiastic co-host who was a former, decent male gymnast we could have our own Tara-Johnny combo for gymnastics like they do for figure skating! Honestly, I'd love for them to bring over Dominique Dawes though. She's the most professional speaker gymnastics has ever produced.
She’s so good on camera! Let’s make her a commentator with Nastia!!!! 🤔
Muito triste essa olímpiada sem Shilese Jones, Skye Blakely, Kayla Dicello e Konnor Macclain, fora a lesão do ano passado que fez a Joscelyn perder desempenho e ir parar na reserva. O sistema da ginástica de elite dos EUA é muito cruel e descarta as ginastas como se fossem nada
Sad Russia won’t be competing would’ve been nice to see them go head to head again
Sad for Jade but she should have worked on her dance etc
Well that's just ridiculous. You know she's not at full difficulty right lol
@@omglauraelizabethWhat does full difficulty have to to with stiffness?
She needs to work on her form.Altogether she's sloppy
@@omglauraelizabethWhat do you mean she is not at full difficulty? .We are like days from the Olympics.If you can't be at full difficulty now when can you ever be? I'm sorry I do love jade but I don't think she has what it takes to be an all grounder & perform consistently
@@Taureanfitnessit’s part of their plan for Jade all of her upgrades are being brought to trial so as to pace her and have her be at her peak right when trials occur
YALL BE OVER LOOKING LEANNE!!!! Just wait!!! YALL WILL SEE AFTER TRIALS
Is she planning to upgrade all events?
No comment ❤
Simone, Shilese, Skye, Suni, Kayla.
Simone, Shilese, Skye, Suni, Jordan.
Jordan replace Kayla
@@marshajulessa2995Agreed Jordan is much cleaner than Kayla . I can’t understand why it’s even a discussion. Obviously they all have to hit but if they do Jordan has earned her spot.
What are your guys' take on Carey? Do you think she will make it?
@@samanthahough3202 I have not seen the real Jade yet. I want to see that you are fighting for your spot. I have not seen the 🔥in Jade and I like Jade’s demeanor- she’s very even keel.
No comment ❤
Jade Carey is so under rated lol
I love Jade clearly.She is very talented but she's sloppy and we don't need that
Not this season, unfortunately. She used to be able to get by on her sky-high D scores, but her fire isn't there at the moment; I honestly think she's tired. NCAA plus elite is a LOT, and I totally respect and admire her for it, but it's understandable that she's a bit spent!
I really was hoping for her sake that she'd get her team medal, but I'm just not seeing it at the moment unless Skye can't sustain the Cheng.
@@SweetSirenia No she never does full difficulty until Olympic trials, it was the same in 2021 (although she already secured her Olympic spot via the specialist route). Her coach/dad said she can easily add one more full twist to every pass on FX...
@UziZokalhow exactly did she bomb in Liverpool l know she fell in Tokyo on floor but l thought she did well in Liverpool
@UziZokal Obviously you haven't been watching. All the girls have been falling all over the place this season. There's a level playing field considering falls. The only person who has hit is Shilese, who is currently injured. You can blame this on USAG who's staff is running a shoddy operation compared to Marta. All the Olympic team candidates are not being invited to the national camps every month and hardly any Olympic candidates, if any, have been given recent international assignments which would have assessed whether they were ready and how they were scoring internationally. No one is overseeing routine construction and advising coaches. Also, a major tradition for predicting US Olympic outcomes, the American Cup meet, was completely eliminated as a competition this year. Everyone at USA gymnastics should be fired and replaced.
I think the team will be Simone, Shi, Suni, Jade and either Skye or Jordan whoever does better at trials for that last spot. Jade is about to upgrade her vault and floor routines for trials, she has been holding back. She also scores better with international judges than she does domestic judges.
Floor: Simone, Shi, Jade
Vault: Simone, Shi and Jade or Skye
Bars: Simone, Shi, Suni
Beam: Simone, Shi, Suni
Alternates will be Jordan and Kayla I think
I would pick Simone, Shilese, Jade, suni (i guess), and probably Jordan. If Skye can not be inconsistent and go 8/8 at trials, i would take her over Jordan.
Yeah Skye has to prove it that it wasn’t luck and that she’s actually consistent. Also she isn’t even consistent with her Cheng because Carey score better day 2. Jade has the consistency to back her up where Skye doesn’t.
@@BLACKBANDITO856 that's exactly my reasoning. Jade is also upgrading her dty to an amanar, which will inherently score higher. And I KNOW she wants redemption for her vault error in Tokyo and I really hope she gets that chance.
@@BLACKBANDITO856 I want very badly for Jade to get her fire back for Trials because I agree that she's a safer bet than Skye. I also want her to get a team medal!
At the same time...I keep thinking about the individual events during the team competition and feel like the team is already too heavily skewed towards FX and VT, especially since Simone and Shi are expected to be on all four events. If you take Simone, Shi, Jade, and Suni, and then pick between Jordan and Kayla...I dunno. Skye would help with BB but Kayla, Jade, or Jordan really wouldn't.
@@SweetSirenia my thing is that Skye could do what she did at the other big competitions she has gone too and fall, which would then make her bb score not even worth it.
@@BLACKBANDITO856 I agree. I am not sold on her for VT the way others are. It was really smart strategy on her part to get into the mix, but it gives me an uneasy feeling. It's the kind of thing where I'd be comfortable using her on BB in a team final but not VT...and if that's the case, is she really needed? Not if Jade improves and Suni is definitely healthy.
Love Laurie. She comes across as so kind and heartwarming
