Day 2 of selection camp (which may or may not influence the decision-making process ) will see everyone compete beam, 8 people compete bars, 3 people compete vault, and 1 Dulcy Caylor compete floor.

The stream is set for USAG’s YouTube from the start today, so fingers crossed it will function like something in the vicinity of a real sport.

We have the legs rotation up first. Esponda, Carey, Molomo on vault and Caylor on floor.

Caylor – FX – a little lean out of memmel turn – DLO, gets it around, chest down with a hop – back full through to double tuck to front tuck, lower but just gets it, bound forward – wolf double, some arm control but definitely around – double L turn, heel drop – double pike, solid position, hop back tour jete 1/2 to switch 1/2, some back leg.

Esponda – VT 1 – solid DTY, good chest up, hop back, some legs

Esponda – VT 2 – hits Lopez, some piked hips, chest slightly low, hop solid

Carey – VT 1 – Cheng is landed, better chest up landing position than yesterday, quite a large bounce back, some knee crossing.

Carey – VT 2 – Strong DTY, good height, small hop back, some leg form. Both vaults better than yesterday.

Molomo – VT 1 – does a handspring front tuck 1/2, chest super down and lunge forward

Molomo – VT 2 – high Y1.5, large lunge forward

Second rotation will have the full complement of gymnasts on bars and beam.

Rotation 2

Rose – UB – weiler to weiler 1/2, gets it together, connects to maloney to clear hip full to pak – van leeuwen, solid – tkatchev – arches hs on high bar and goes over the wrong way, has to add an extra swing – DLO 1/1, hop to the side

Beam warmup still ongoing. Looks like they’re getting a full 20 minute warmup rotation there, not just a one-touch.

Moreau – UB – hesitation into weiler 1/2, pulls it back into maloney to clear hip to church, solid – pak to toe on to van leeuwen, small arch in the middle – giant full – DLO, slightly deep with a lunge back.

Drusch – BB – loso mount, check – bhs loso loso series is secure – aerial to split to straddle, strong, connected – side aerial, small check – switch to switch 1/2, under with a check – side somi, bigger lean forward – wolf 2.5 – split jump full from side was better, got it back – double pike, lower, step back

Welp, that was rotation 2.

Rotation 3

I’m sorry, everyone is disqualified due to boredom. It took too long. There’s no worlds team.
“Just whenever” is a solid summary of the day from Annie.

Moreau – BB – switch mount to switch 1/2 to back tuck, connected, solid, just somewhat under on switch 1/2 – wolf triple, hit – side aerial to loso, secure, some leg position – aerial to split to straddle, little shoulder dip correction – double pike, super deep and can’t save it, falls

Richardson – UB – jaeger, hit – toe on to toe full, pauses in the middle but works through it – pak, some leg sep – maloney to tkatchev is solidly hit – 1/2 turn on high – DLO 1/1 with a leg separation, hop back

Pease – BB – wolf triple, strong – switch to split to onodi, hits it – bhs loso loso, secure, some foot and knee position – aerial, leans a little into straddle connection, does the bhs full and hits – side aerial, no trouble – switch 1/2, a bit under – 2.5, some crossed legs, nearly holds onto the stick, hop to the side

Rose – BB – switch mount to switch, good combo – fhs front tuck, step forward, keeps it on – wolf triple, solid – bhs loso loso, lean to the side wobble, keeps it on again – aerial, check – side aerial, little pause before split and straddle – 2.5 dismount, step forward.

Well, that was sure a collection of disconnected, scoreless gymnastics we saw. We’ll wait on the scores now, and the team, which is time TBD.

The same highest-scoring team of Rivera, Pease, Bullock, Blakely, Esponda from nationals reconfirmed itself yesterday, though that still means you would have to leave a sure 6 tenths of D from Carey’s Cheng on the sidelines. Scores came in that Carey’s Cheng went 14.250 today, which just isn’t enough.

Team is confirmed as Blakely, Bullock, Esponda, Pease, and Rivera, which is the highest-scoring team from nationals and also from the first day of camp. Only possible surprise to me is Caylor as traveling and Carey as non-traveling, rather than the other way around.
