Makes me feel better hearing it from her too.

Veterans have a huge advantage. I'd do the same thing and think Simone, Aly and Gabby are the right 3 for AA.

We are all in cheerleading here and on teams, and even if your newbies/younger athletes are rockstars, you can't deny the composure and talent of a well trained veteran. I agree 100% and it is the right decision.

I have a feeling their team name has something to do with winning or gold, which is why they won't announce it until Tuesday. Don't want to jinx anything

You only get a team name if you win right? Or do we only care about a team name when they win? I don't recall names for '92, 00, 04 or 08. I did a quick google and nothing came up for those teams. I remember in 2012 in an interview and someone was like "y'all are the Fab 5!" And they were like "no we will come up with our own name" since it was taken by that Michigan recruiting class

So I apparently missed this but Shang Chunsong of China (their best all arounder) fell FOUR TIMES on beam at podium. Then again on bars. woof.

Reminds me of pictures that Sophia Lucia used to post, all I can think is OUCH!

Laurie herself says it's false!

Thanks for posting this!

Saw this article and I guess Marta is the reason behind the glitz of the latest leo's

& it's began! GO TEAM GB! So excited to watch as much sport as possible as I can over these two weeks.

Women's qualification line up is officially out

 

[SL&AM]

Well since Laurie is out of the AA race, my prediction is Simone 1st, Aly 2nd, Gabby 3rd (not necessarily top 3, but placement order of the American women) for AA.

I hate that Laurie isn't doing AA but Gabby is. I've always liked Gabby but looking at the last placing a before the Olympics, Gabby didn't do it for me.
