Senior Prelims

Jordyn Wieber dominated the senior competition, not quite as comprehensively as Katelyn in the Junior division but convincingly nonetheless.  Highlights were a lovely new Bulgarian Dances floor routine and a great Amanar on vault.

Another who had a great competition was Aly Raisman, as ever excelling on floor and vault (though only competing a double not a two and a half) she was mentally on top form and had a really good day.  

In third was Chellsie Memmel who is in first place on beam after a very solid routine.  She says that she has been training upgrades but is yet to put them into her routines as Martha is wanting consistency.  It worked.

Rebecca Bross had a bad day.  Falling on beam and bars.  She looked shaky and not herself.  Simple errors in abundance.  Gabby Douglas also was clearly feeling nervous (and may be nursing a hip injury) falling from beam three times, peeling off the bars and not having a great time on floor.  

Sacramone is leading on vault and second on beam, her floor was powerful but as ever she did not control her landings and fell on her 2.5 punch front.

The fight to be a bars specialist is on between the Legacy Elite trio.  So far Bridgey is losing after falling and the decision seems to be between Macko 15.000 and Anna Li 15.050.

McKayla Maroney is sitting in 5th AA and 2nd on vault.  She went out of bounds on floor and had a few mistakes so will be looking to improve on Saturday.
