Shilese and Skye have such beautiful lines when they do gymnastics! Everything looks elegant!

[@beyourself2444]

Why because they're skinny, they have the traditional body that the Eastern European like for their gymnasts

[@pinklabbit]

@@beyourself2444 They aren't that skinny. They look tall though. Shawn Johnson's and Biles's style of gymnastic is also very attractive because it's powerful. Each style has its own beauty. The international look is not everything.

[@rubyjones274]

Long legs and arms = lines

[@rubyjones274]

There’s a reason ballerinas look like they do, and use pointe shoes to extend their legs. Long legs >

[@pinklabbit]

@@rubyjones274 Thank you for understanding what I'm trying to say. I think Suni Lee and Kyla Ross in 2013 don't exactly have the stick thin figures to exactly qualify as having the 'international look', but they are both extremely graceful on beam. Lovely lines!

[@allgirrrlrider5395]

So many couch gymnasts in the comments. They are all amazing hard working and talented young women.

[@latonyanewsome0]

We have so many talented gymnasts. I wish they could all go in 2024.

This quad along with the 2012 and 2016, is some of the most remarkable gymnastics I’ve ever seen.

[@elegiuffri4011]

Shilese’s L turn on floor is so beautiful

[@angelamiller3911]

Suni's gymnastics is just beautiful in general. Unfortunately because of the "hype machine" she's so underscored, underrated all and overlooked for the artistry and mastery of the skills. It's unfortunate. She is gymnastics. Skills + artistry + mastery of both = great gymnastics ❤ Remove they "hype" she would be a 🥇🥇🥇 a heck of a lot more often.

[@HondaMom]

My son said, when seeing Simone Biles: "Oh yes! This is the best girl of my life" He's 5. 🤣🤣 Edit: He said he wants to score her routine a 10/10. The judges have spoken lol.

[@mylesastinnette6208]

Nothing minor about 2 serious types of kidney diseases. They are just experimenting on her with different medications to see what works. She doesn’t look well at all and if I were her mother, although I am old enough to be her grandmother, she damn sure would not be doing any elite gymnastics. Wonder if her family realizes that her pancreas could be next. Of course she’s a good gymnast and we want to see her compete while she is alive. I’m sorry but this just breaks my heart. She’s a kid.

[@knightingale5660]

Okay, non-gymnast here, but Joscelyn's execution didn't seem quite as polished as the others'...? I'm guessing hers had a higher start value, but like the leg separation and landing positioning seemed iffy to me?

[@deepeshmathuria]

She's famously messy especially with her legs, hope she cleans it up because she gives me Skinner vibes

[@nicolehex]

i also dont quite understand how she scores so high when her execution is sloppy. shes so powerful if she just fixed up how her skills look I think she could go so far but without that execution its just not great to look at

[@jessicabates2233]

I thought the same things. The legs look bent and apart in the vault. I prefer the look of jade

[@knightingale5660]

yes 100% @@jessicabates2233. I actually thought we were going in order of 1-3 because Jade's looked so beautiful until I watched the next events winners and realized it was a different order and I said holllllldd on and went back and was SO confused

[@00hl4l4]

​@@nicolehex she is a gymnast who has much lower execution scores in international than domestic competitions, the US domestic judging is generally deemed a bit generous compared to international judging but there's always a few US gymnasts like Roberson and Skinner who get much much lower scores internationally than they do domestically.

[@Keziah-ls2sk]

AMAZING!

[@teetime3421]

All of these women are just absolutely amazing and a joy to watch! Women’s Gymnastics has come such a long way.

[@owenweikert7978]

My team: Biles Blakey Jones Lincoln Wong Alternate- Chiles

[@Matthew-jh6oh]

I agree!

[@kellycommentates768]

Yes this would be mine too!

[@SquirtlePower809]

Totally agree! The only spot that could possibly change is Kaliya. I could see Suni switched into that spot for her bars/beam IF she is healthy. Cause kaliya brings string floor and good vault (but that's not where we need help). And at this point I do not see Jade or Jocelyn making it. They simply have too much form and execution problems. So yeah, Suni or possibly Jordan might replace Kaliya. But the other 4 I think should be LOCKS.

[@rugbyplayer9100]

My team: Simone Biles (best AA, will definitely be used on all 4 events) Shilese Jones (2nd best AA, could be used for all 4 events) Leanne Wong (3rd best AA, consistent, can fill in on any event, could be used for floor if she performs better than Roberson) Skye Blakely (very solid beam and bars) Joscelyn Roberson (solid cheng that will come clutch in team final, can definitely medal individually, solid floor as well) Alternate: Jordan Chiles (consistent AA, better execution/artistry than Carey, can fill in on any event, will be a hype teammate for team final) Vault Blakely/Wong/Jones (DTY) Roberson (Cheng) Biles (YDP) Bars Biles Blakely Jones Beam Wong/Jones Blakely Biles Floor Roberson/Wong Jones Biles

[@ithomas101]

We will certainly see, but I think this is a good list. We have to see about Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, and Suni Lee. I also heard a rumor about Gabby Douglas coming back, so if that is true, that will certainly be interesting.

[@Haazza]

I’d do the exact same but have Suni on bars instead of Simone and on beam instead of Leanne/Shilese

[@TransWomenAreMen]

​@@Haazza - So, who would you be getting rid of? You can't have the same list with those changes because you'd have a six-person team when only five are allowed.

[@TransWomenAreMen]

I like this, but I actually think Jordan Chiles has a negative effect. Her hype is only a plus when the ladies are already doing well.

[@SquirtlePower809]

I like this team EXCEPT for Jocelyn. We need to be realistic about her form and execution right now. She is going to get OBLITERATED by international judges for reals. I would replace her with suni, Tiana, or kaliya lincoln

[@deeangel6396]

Shilese Jones uneven bars with her overall work was so elegant and amazing. She a model for sure with a lot of beauty. We love seeing her.

I haven't seen Jade that genuinely happy after a routine in a WHILE. Even though she was lowballed on floor I'm glad she was able to full it together for night 2 (fun fact I just googled her beam score and nvm

Now they know they're wrong for Jade's vault scores.. They alt to be ashamed

[@lalareal180]

Her approach on the cheng is bad... its a deduction... form split legs, flexed feet, I mean what do you think she should have gotten? Sorry she isnt that girl this code.

[@freddycooks]

@@lalareal180 Her landings on night 2 were so good, but to be completely honest, when I went back and watched both vaults at half speed, I think her scores were fair. She does have bent legs and some bend in the hip mid flight and although a little improved on the Cheng pre-flight leg separation, the deduction is still there. So, point taken.

[@donaldholderdoc2910]

DAMN!! Jade looks so freaking good on her stuck landings on her vaults. Both Skye snd Shilese look fabulous as do the returning pros. Suni, Simone, Jade . Paris & The furture is looking bright for the US ladies gymnastics. On a side note, I loved Suni's and Simones leotards. Especially Suni's white one on Beam.

No she competed vault and had the highest scores by far. But, to get a medal for vault as an event, you have to do 2 different vaults on both nights of competition and she didn't do that. Not because she can't obviously lol, she just doesn't need to put any extra stress or strain on herself.

In case you didnt see the whole show he was there purposely to spot her because that routine is very difficult and she is just coming back.

That was a smart move.
