After two amazing nights of competition at the 2021 Olympic Trials in Saint Louis, the Olympic team for the United States in women’s artistic gymnastics has finally been announced! This is the first Olympics using this odd format, and I believe it’s also the last. The team is comprised of Simone Biles (the GOAT), Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles, and Grace McCallum; the two specialists are Jade Carey and Mykayla Skinner. Jade earned her spot through winning vault in the FIG World Cup series; Mykayla was named to the nominative spot. Congratulations to all of these gymnasts on a truly incredible feat, and best of luck to them in Tokyo!
Get to know the team here - I’ve included some of their best or most unique skills. You'll see some incredible combinations on bars from Sunisa Lee, unique elements from Simone Biles, difficult tumbling and vaulting from MyKayla Skinner and Jade Carey, and overall difficulty and execution from Grace McCallum and Jordan Chiles. For the specialists, there’s a bit more information on their past results; otherwise, I only look at the AA programs. In team finals, I imagine that Biles and Chiles will compete every event, while Suni will compete uneven bars and beam and Grace will compete floor and vault, but both Suni and Grace are strong enough to compete the other two events! This is a very strong all-around team; I can imagine them all doing very well in the qualification.
The alternates for the team are Leanne Wong, Kayla DiCello, Emma Malabuyo, and Kara Eaker: congratulations to them too! I'm really sad about Riley's result -- given that there were five alternate spots, I see no legitimate reason to keep her off that list when she could be a viable alternate for a +1 spot. I'm frankly a bit confused about Skinner's selection to the nominative spot -- while I'm super happy for her, it doesn't make sense to have her and Jade competing for vault finals. In honesty, it would've made more sense to have her on the main team, where her strength on vault and floor could pay off. It seems like Tom just went with the numbers and didn't care to strategize for medals, but who knows at this point? I'm hopeful that we'll see some Olympic vlogs on MyKayla's channel - @MyKaylaSkinnerOfficial is the link if you're interested!
If you have any requests for routine scoring, I'll try to upload a few videos of routines in the upcoming days, so please let me know! If you enjoyed the video, I'd appreciate it greatly were you to like and subscribe :) it helps me out.
