Konnor McClain (USA) All Around 2022 DTB Pokal Team Challenge (55.665!) | CoP : 2022-24

[@KATLANA1]

McClain is somebody to keep an eye on! So much potential! That Church on bars was the best I've seen in a long time. Toes pointed the entire time and amazing amplitude. Beam was a little shaky, but I know she's capable of crushing that routine, she's done it before. Love how difficult and ambitious her beam routines are. They have similar elements to Shawn Johnson's beam work. Floor was good and her tumbling elements are difficult and well executed, but she needs to control her power. I'm beyond impressed with her work. She'll go very far.

[@cocoroni1031]

Maybe she can upgrade that Church to a F+ release

[@micheleclark6382]

We’ve been watching her Jr career, Definitely not surprised she’s on the Sr team now! Reminds me of Simone with all her difficult gymnastics!

[@leoren2685]

Wow - she's matured! Has a lot of artistic ability, too. Glad to see her development!

[@francisnguyen6349]

Konnor McClain is massive for All-Around!

[@jsully7712]

first time i’ve been entertained by a beam routine in a while 👏👏

[@karaamundson3964]

I like this gymnasts abilities... So far she seems to be, as we In the green thumb trade say, a "nursery more than a garden"... Her excellent skills just haven't quite worked out a way of being together organically. Those numerous saves on the beam indicate great core strength--her moves on floor & beam were lovely--the bars routine had rough spots but some astonishingly beautiful moves--lots of very fine landings--I just hope her coaches are up to her mark

[@karyon1007]

I think (I hope) Valeri has improved a lot as a coach, and Konnor seems to be doing better these days. I hope she stays healthy and happy and that her gymnastics continues to improve!❤️

[@pgarciaAP]

She seems to have great raw talent that will be refined with time. What I think is most important is that she looks like she is having fun.

[@drew-ih7bx]

I am sure they know that they need a stronger bar routine so I am just going to ignore that routine for now. The construction on beam is really bothering me. Valeri should be able to construct a routine that's D score is 6.4+ for Konnor. Also, I feel like her bar routine needs to be redone completely! I am hopeful, though, that they will do a good job with her on bars. If only she went to Suni's old gym :(... they know how to construct a routine!

[@karyon1007]

Not only is Graba great at utilizing the COP, but Suni seems to have a great understanding of when/how to alter her routines in the moment. I really think that the two of them make a really amazing team!

[@stevenpop2746]

Give it a little time…she hasn’t really got Woga routines yet (still basically her old routines with some stability improvements)…once she gets a real Woga make over she will look even more awesome

[@eliseperron1928]

I think it’s too early in the season to make such claims. Her beam routine is basically repurposed from her old gym - and she has already made it clear that WOGA is helping her through upgrades for classics this summer

[@Ash_xoxo]

That AA score is massive!!!

[@sean-xc3ht]

It’s decent. With everything going on with Russia and Ukraine, the Russian women were the only ones capable of a 57+ but since there out, konnor is the next big hope.

[@katherinesmith9354]

@@sean-xc3ht the code of points just changed, so we don't know what scores russian gymnasts are able to produce now. we cannot compare scores from the two different quads

[@sean-xc3ht]

@@katherinesmith9354 if anything it will increase. There are some gymnastics KZbin channels that have showcased Russian bars are still in the 6.0 + range in this code. Although vault is 4 tenths lower, beam, floor, and bars is a + 2 bonus for D plus dismounts (which they all do) so I expect their scores to increase.

She realistically could go 15 VT, 15 UB, 14 FX and 13,8 BB for a near 58

[@Aljonvill12]

I feel like there is a beam routine where Konnor can get consistent 14.5s+. It definitely starts with removing the switch ring leap.

[@mindyschocolate]

Yeah I doubt she’s getting credit for that.

[@sawyer7191]

Haha what!!? She needs to gain the confidence to just do it in her routine. It’s not a problem on floor for this dynamic gymnast, so it must me confidence.

[@Aljonvill12]

@@sawyer7191 yeah, its fine to keep it in for now and gain confidence on it but if nothing improves, definitely take it out before Worlds. She has gold medal potential on this event

[@sawyer7191]

@@Aljonvill12 suggestions on what she should add?

[@Aljonvill12]

@@sawyer7191 probably not her Arabian right now but maybe her onodi. Maybe another split because she usually hits 180*. Tbh anything else because her switch ring leap gets devalued to a skill that she already does in her routine

Is she working on a second vault?

[@cesarmoralesdegante8643]

I think an amanar

[@luchats]

she is obviously inspired by gabby Douglas. I can see it in her beam routine

[@cecebruno1040]

Is her coach Simones old one?

[@DiegoMoreno-kz2wk]

I believe so or it could be Valeri Liukin

[@saraconnolly5678]

No, she trains at WOGA now under the Liukins

[@Ash_xoxo]

I think is Valeri Liukin because at 0:59 you can she him.

[@clairenyland2282]

it’s valeri liukin, she’s at woga now

[@micheleclark6382]

She’s from W Virginia however I believe you all are correct about Luikin, recall seeing him as her coach at WAGS. She’s too young for college so bet she’s trying for Paris 2024!

[@sqlcomp]

I see her has the next Olympic gold medalist all around!! And please no RACE CARD!!! She’s an American and a great gymnast!!!

[@Plaspos]

If suni comes back it will be hard for Konnor because suni is a lot better on bars. But if Valeri gets konnor’s bars up to WOGA standards it’s definitely possible

[@Bxyxox]

@@Plaspos bars really is konnors only weak point, she’d outscore Suni on every other event if she hits

[@Plaspos]

@@Bxyxox yes but only by 1-2 tenths on vault and floor and maybe 3-4 on beam. but Suni can outscore Konnor by more than a point on bars

[@Bxyxox]

@@Plaspos if valeri can get konnors bars up to scratch and fixes up a few issues with her other routines, she is definitely AA gold medal worthy. Gonna need a lot of improvement on bars though

[@juanfranciscogarza2180]

Get rid of that final pass.

[@juanfranciscogarza2180]

@UCOYyVQYfgq6nmyQ4gQ5K9Jg yes, she can add a C artistic element, and get rid of that -.4 in step, form and -.03 out of bounds... Just losing 1 in difficulty.

[@Account-wd6pm]

@@juanfranciscogarza2180 she needs to end with a D level pass to get the extra 0.2
