Yeah, in my hypothetical team line-ups I was pulling Aly off UB for Laurie to go all around. That's the only way she would have qualified. Yes, she beat Aly at trials but we knew her high scores at trials wouldn't quite hold up internationally. With Aly in the mix, she wasn't going to qualify.
And everyone saying "what does Gabby even bring to the team?" realizes she missed all around to Aly by 0.4 right? 2 full points above the next best gymnast? Like y'all are acting as if she fell down on everything and sabotaged Team USA. As long as she stayed on beam, I knew she was going to kill it, hence my prayers before beam.
She's not miserable, she doesn't hate her team, and she's doing a great job.
