So Reese really showed up and had the competition of her life without making it onscreen once? Is this really how this is playing out?

[spinninganddancing]

Not that I want the usual nbc strategy of only showing the winner's routines, but the opposite where we see nothing from the... Winner? Medalist? Feels equally insane?

[elenazamos]

you know what, I had my doubts, and it might take a couple years for her to be fully back, and idk if that floor will be enough for nata this year, but this Ohashi comeback feels legit

[pouncequick]

Looking forward to seeing what happens when she gets those grips.

[elenazamos]

happy classics day idek whomst is competing or how anyone looks lmao

[elenazamos]

wait Katelyn Ohashi is competeing? I knew she was trying to make an elite comeback but I didn't know she had qualified here lol

[pouncequick]

Competing beam and floor, needs a 28 to qualify to Nationals.

[pouncequick]

I apologize, she needs a 26.8 for her 2 event score. My brain dropped a digit. So she needs a 13.6 on floor---credit for her full attempted difficulty and an 8.0 E

[pouncequick]

How many of these crowd games happen in other sports?

[doubleonodi]

oh i like katelyn's low beam choreography

[triple-to-stag]

Very interesting to see how it wasn’t cookie cutter elite or ncaa! Glad to see her competing a solid routine in her own style

[elenazamos]

Morgi????!!!!???!!!!

[spinninganddancing]

okay so it is her taking photos? I thought that was her

[pouncequick]

She's an official photographer, but I can't remember with what organization

[elenazamos]

is this her photo from 2013 😭

[pouncequick]

Dulcy, you are qualified to Nationals. Stop.

[pouncequick]

Keins, Jones, pull her. She is very obviously not ready or safe. That is your job.

[elenazamos]

man it's crazy Jade was basically discovered on a McDonald's jungle gym 9 years ago and now she's a staple in American gymnastics

[triple-to-stag]

AND she went from level 10 to medaling (silver on vt btw) at a worlds in less than a year

no American gymnast has ever have a career like her it like her, nor will they again

[pouncequick]

Kayla Williams would like a word on that (competed level 10 the same year she then went on to win vault at Worlds). Of course, she took her gold and peaced out of elite

[spinninganddancing]

i would like to complain about the lack of Reese Esponda on this broadcast!

[pouncequick]

I will also note the lack of Moreau

[triple-to-stag]

I think it would be fascinating if dulcy keeps sneaking onto teams this quad, I’m a simple girl that loves an underdog

[pouncequick]

Dulcy, you are qualified to Nationals. Stop.

[elenazamos]

ok Isabella Anzola 👀

[spinninganddancing]

there is an international feed for the seniors on YouTube if you have a vpn or are not in the US. Which as usual has more routines and less talking

[pouncequick]

However you do have to watch people put Oreos on their eyes and then try to eat them.
