Women’s Prelim Wrap-Up…And My Current Five Olympians!
Two of the biggest question marks from the women’s competition are whether the falls from Kyla Ross (vault) and McKayla Maroney (bars and beam) will affect their Olympic chances. The four-for-four performances from Wieber, Douglas, and Raisman simply secured these three even more firmly onto this team, but Ross and Maroney are slightly more tenuous. Although ...

The Elephant In The Room…Should Nastia Have Made Trials? And Other Competition Notes…
It turned out to be a nail-biter right to the end, and for a few seconds I really thought that Gabby Douglas might overtake the defending champion Jordyn Wieber on that last bar routine. It was definitely one of the very best ones we’ve seen from Gabby – she connected the full spin to elgrip ...
Chellsie Memmel’s Petition Denied…Fair Or Ludicrous?
I’m still in shock that Chellsie Memmel’s petition to compete in the Visa U.S. Championships has been denied. On one hand, it just sounds brutally fair. After all, Martha and the rest of the selection committee stated upfront they were looking for 14’s, on average, from gymnasts vying to qualify for the upcoming nationals. Chellsie competed ...
Surprise, Surprise…Chellsie Memmel Training Video!

She’s had two shoulder surgeries since we last saw her compete ...

London StockWatch…An Update
I’ll be periodically updating my “London StockWatch” picks between now and the selection of America’s Olympic teams – particularly after major competitions, injuries, comeback debuts, or any other time something happens that seems to affect the statuses of some of the top Olympic contenders. This is one of those times. Following the American Cup, and also ...

Expect the Unexpected: A Look at Past U.S. Olympic Women’s Surprises
It’s early in the Olympic year, and at this point it’s fun to begin to predict who will likely make the U.S. Olympic teams that will be announced in just a few months. After all, how much can possibly change in such a short amount of time? All of the world championships of the quadrennium ...

The Top 12 For 2012…U.S. Olympic Women’s Preview!
For the United States women, this Olympic cycle is beginning to feel a whole like the one exactly 12 years ago, when five members of the historic gold-medal winning U.S. Olympic team from 1996 caught “Olympic fever” in the year prior to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and made serious bids for a return trip ...
