Chellsie Memmel Reacts to Day 1 World Team Trials 2023

[@bluesharpie3]

Everything about this interview makes me SO happy that Chellsie is in this role

[@lorigbasmajian3843]

In a sport with so much abuse (often by men) we need more female leaders like her

[@Fliptwisttt245]

I wish she would’ve continued her comeback but I also am happy Chellsie is in this position.

[@msbrandymo]

Exactly!!! I wish they do this going forward.

[@abbyo6311]

What role is she? New here!

[@msbrandymo]

@@abbyo6311 Technical Lead. I'm not sure if that's the exact or complete title name. Apologies.

[@traceytheisen8067]

I hope she eventually takes over the entire program. This woman is the complete package; experienced athlete, experienced judge, family woman, authentic, encouraging yet also has high standards...the list goes on and on.

[@philiplieu3889]

If I’m not mistaken she’s basically considered the replacement for Marta’s old position. I could be wrong

[@hannienanniep]

Chellsie seems totally in her element in this position! She's great at answering these questions, so direct and clear-headed.

[@Dnest10]

Chelsie is EVERYTHING we knew she would be in this position. There aren't enough ❤s for her. She strikes such a good balance between constructive feedback/review and positive affirmations.

[@oscarpedroso9958]

A breath of fresh air for women's gymnastics! So great to see Chellsie leading the way!

[@youthought1343]

Geeeez Chelsie seems to literally be the perfect person for this job/role. She has so much wisdom, even when she’s just being chill that is doing way more than trying to force things to work out

[@Fliptwisttt245]

It helps that she also was in the position of these athletes and it wasn’t TOO long ago that she can’t remember/relate.

[@msbrandymo]

Especially since she just competed a couple of years ago. So, she knows personally what is needed from a more recent standpoint. That's even with updates for new quad.

[@micheleclark59]

Being she Lived it And is an Awesome Woman she is perfect for the job…or women, there’s 3 total, Alicia Sacremone.

[@cassenav]

Ahhh so glad chellsie has a big role in USAG! She has such a good perspective

[@allydr90]

I can't think of anyone better to have such a role.

[@vibesmom]

Breath of fresh air from Chelsea! This is the way I love to hear any coach/ coordinator talk.

[@cindyhoffman5547]

Way better than the Karoly's.

[@leahvatson6379]

I love Chellsie 🥰 she’s the perfect person for this position, although I would love for her to attempt another comeback 😍

[@SalimShaikh-ru6xw]

I asked her that question a couple of weekends ago at National Congress and unfortunately she said not going to happen..

[@Fliptwisttt245]

[@athosfelipe4069]

OMG. This woman is amazing in everything she does. We love her in the judging panel, we love her as head coach, we love when she's competing.

[@danielkristianson208]

Chellsie, You are such a NICE person ... with a core of steel. These young gymnasts are in very good hands. Thank you for working with them. :--)

[@AugustSlippedAway15]

Having Chellsie who’s an actual judge and can really work with the gymnasts on execution and squeezing every tenth out. She’s absolutely perfect for this role.

[@Miranda50709]

I cannot wait to see a vault score above 15 again. So tired of the regression due to the way the COP is structured. It's effectively kneecapping innovation (especially on bars and beam), which leads to boring gymnastics. May as well make them do compulsories and call it a day. The US fielded a team with 4 Amanars in London 2012. Over 10 years later I can't think of a single gymnast doing one. Thanks FIG!

[@kellycommentates768]

Loooove Chellsie! So happy she decided to take this role on.

[@mindikruse6938]

Even when she teaches her Chellsie's Gymfit classes she's so welcoming, down to earth, fun and thoughtful.

[@Fliptwisttt245]

She always seemed like a genuinely nice wholesome person

[@nicksline]

Chellsie has such a great perspective. Soooo happy she's in this role!

[@aliciamcdonald7105]

YES!! Good to know this vault's DV from now. It is fully deserving of its rating.

[@TheLMinGA]

What is the Dv for a Cheng vault?

[@aliciamcdonald7105]

@@TheLMinGA 5.6

[@rebeccajmb4675]

Compared to the Cheng (5.6) and the Amanar (5.4), the YDP is valued at 6.4. The YDP is an amazing vault. Do we think it’s really worth a whole point higher than the Amanar?

[@brett8680]

So genuine and transparent!

[@elizabethnicole8303]

she a boss ! i love chellsie , gives so much insight about gymnastics and she never gave up

[@Taureanfitness]

I completely agree with everything Chelsea said she's right on the money with all of this, the artistry is improving, but we have much more room to grow. We need a lot more improvement overall. We are very strong as a team.

[@danielsullen3065]

I FREAKIN LOVE THAT CHELLSIE IS DOING THIS INTERVIEW!!! SHE IS PERFECT FOR THE POSITION!!!

[@DY-zk2zt]

I love how comedic she is at times without even trying to be lol Also, love seeing her in this position 👍

[@Taureanfitness]

I love Chelsea so much as much as I really wish. She was continuing her comeback and competing. I am so happy she's in this position. They shouldn't, she's all around the perfect person for this job.

[@ultrasheer8473]

How could you not absolutely love her? So glad she’s in this role.

Chelsie is what USAG WAG soooo desperately needs!

Finally, FIG assigns the correct value...Simone has been robbed with her double double on beam for sure!

[@leahvatson6379]

Silly question, will the new vault be called the Biles or the Owens? 🤩

[@darkmatter5940]

I asked this question & the response I got was, it will be called the Biles 2. Competitively, she uses Biles, not Owens

[@leahvatson6379]

@@darkmatter5940 bummer, that would be such a sweet way to honor her husband and the fact that she’s a married women now 💗 but it’s still amazing that she’ll have yet another skill in the code of points named after her!! Now she only needs one on bars 😎

[@minhquanguyen]

​@@leahvatson6379I think it's pretty hard to get away from the massive branding she has as Biles. And how can she resist having the "Biles II" on vault?

Kinda sad, im a huge fan of hers. But it’s like she forgets when she was a gymnast….

[@twebster9498]

I just don't see that this new format with Chellsie and Alicia has added anything to the program.

[@minhquanguyen]

Seems to me and most gymnastics enthusiasts that they've added a lot of compassion and care for the gymnasts, which, given the controversies of the last ten or so years, are probably much needed.

[@Bxyxox]

You can tell from the gymnasts. Not sure how much you would see from the outside of the program lmfao

[@twebster9498]

assuming that's true. This is a competitive, elite sport. What contribution have they made in that regard? @@minhquanguyen

[@minhquanguyen]

@@twebster9498 I agree with @Bxyxox that without being insiders, we can only make assumptions, but with Chellsie and Alicia in charge, the team got their sixth World's team gold in a row, a gold and silver on vault, silver in the all-around, silver in bars, silver and bronze on floor--all without their ace, Biles. And if the gymnasts are feeling happy and not abused on top of that compared to before, that seems like a pretty good contribution to me.

[@carrietremble]

@@twebster9498 Gee, the athletes aren’t being sexually molested anymore. They aren’t being starved anymore. The athletes actually look happy doing what they are doing. Need anything else?

[@9N6-s2i]

I wish Martha was still in place, the girls need more discipline.

[@carrietremble]

So you wish the girls were still being sexually molested by Larry Nassar, being starved by Martha, and being all around miserable? Why don’t YOU go train under Martha if you love her so much?

[@rebeccasilver2181]

So you support abuse?

[@LiLLaLa707]

Yes, amazing idea let's bring back the women that knew her gymnasts were getting sexually abused.
