New French seniors for 2018
2018 is going to be here soon with 3 new seniors for France that will do their best to try to factor in future teams. Here they are :
1. Alisson Lapp
Alisson best event are beam and floor. She has great expresivity and charisma on floor but her tumbling lacks of difficulty (double pike, 2.5 twist + punch front, front twist, double twist). That’s on beam that she could factor the most if she remains consistent. She has an average FTY on vault but she struggles a lot on bars. She posted an all around score of 50.550 at french championships last May but injured her foot shortly before EYOF training camps and had to withdraw to get surgery. Here are her junior career highlights :
2. Morgane Osyssek
Morgane is Alisson’s fellow teamates as they both trained in Dijon during there junior years and have now moved to INSEP. She was really promising in her first junior year as she placed 6th at junior Europeans championships AA finals :
2017 has been a little bit harder for her as she was held back by a few injuries (elbow) and had to withdraw from EYOF as she suffered a broken toe and had to get surgery. She is a quite balanced all arounder but need to uprise her difficulty on all event. She was capable of a 1.5 twisting yurchenko and to do piked full-in + tucked full-in in the same routine in 2016. I hope for her to be as healthy as possible in 2018 to show us the extend of her talent.
3. Sheyen Petit
Sheyen has for a long time in the shadow of other juniors but she has improved a lot this season to be the reserve gymnast for the french team at EYOF. She trained at Toulon alongside olympians Loan His and Oréane Lechenault but has moved to Marseille in 2016 after Toulon’s training center closing. Her best even is beam and she has also a very dynamic choregraphy on floor that is one of my personal favorite. She needs improving her difficulty on all event, especially on bars and floor and to clean up her FTY but has been on a great dynamic of improving last season so I hope she can keep going in 2018. Check out her floor, beam and bars from 2017 Massilia :
