Vise later said in an interview that it was super uncomfortable to have a camera in her face while she was trying not to cry. Her coaches, shown her, hug her later, she said, to shield her from the camera, but the camera kept trying to get around them. I'm glad USAG later made the announcements private.

I agree, 2012's was the most fair way of announcing the team for everyone, both gymnasts and fans. The new team members were sent right out onto the floor to celebrate in front of the crowd while those who were not selected were able to deal with their feelings in private. It's so, so sad to see those who were not selected here have to sit calmly for the cameras.

Vise had been steadily declining all year and would have contributed nothing. Her back was shot already and her bars had deteriorated. She couldn't vault and FX was a joke. So please tell me how she was an All-arounder and a good fit for that team. I swear most of you have never even watched gymnastics before. Marta made some bad decisions in this quad but it wasn't in picking this team. It was in alienating and not nurturing the immense talent she had (Postell/Tricase). Memmel was injured (of course) so that's why she was not picked. Tabitha Yim was injured as well. They would have been on the team before Hollie. It was all a moot point anyway because no matter what, I believe the Romanian team would have still been the victors.
@ajimenez1719ify8 жыл бұрын
Here is the thing, with gymnasts that have extreme flexibility in their backs, like vise, they usually dont last very long bc it gives out, and they start having major problems very early. Take Kristi Phillips for example. (sorry about the spelling of her first name, have no idea how she spells it), she was supposed to be the next mary Lou, but she faltered too early. I can guarantee you that both vise and Phillips have alot of pain and problems now with their backs.

Carly should NOT have been on Bars day 2 and she would've been a better replacement for Kupets on Beam than Bhardwaj. Instead Marta wrote her off for a possible better chance at the Team Gold.

@SDoesNotKnow8 жыл бұрын
I blame the U.S. judges for overscoring McCool rather than Marta for that one. I have no doubt Marta would have left off McCool if she could have, but the Trials rules that year were that the top two were guaranteed to be put on the Olympic team barring injury. It was a contractual agreement that Marta could not unilaterally breach unless USAG wanted to be exposed to a lawsuit. Showing readiness meant injury-free really. I think McCool didn't compete in finals because she wasn't in an emotional state to compete after preliminaries and apparently cried all night and distracted the other gymnasts on the team as well.
@catherines40886 жыл бұрын
Letissia Scott there’s no way they would’ve sat Carly on any event. I do think they should’ve let Courtney go instead of Mohini on beam but by that point she wasn’t suited or warmed up so it wasn’t an option. Apparently McCool had a major breakdown after prelims and I think that was more to do with it than what happened in the competition. And honestly, she would’ve been fine with the beam issue but her goof on floor was ridiculous. I think that was the nail in the coffin.

I always wonder why marda didn't replace mccool with memmell in team finals. If she knew she was gonna sit her she should of replaced her and at least given herself an option when kupets went down. The deepest group of gymnasts ever. To bad they could deliver when it counted.

Whoever thought this was a good idea with so many of these gymnasts being young teenagers?

@kakumei77 she wont have too. Lets face it next year the us will have a strong team. If previous years are an indicator the team will probably be Wieber, Raisman, Bross, liukin (lets face it us need a bars specialist) and sacramone if shes well enough if she isnt it will moste likely be Maroney

2008 was quite strong, it was the first time the usa had 2 women who could reasonably expect go 1-2 in the aa. in team finals, they were never going to win. the chinese were just way too strong, and it was in the chinese team's home court.

I wish Tabitha Yim didn't injure herself right after trials. I think she could have been a great contender for the team for her FX and beam. She may have ended up taking Terin Humphrey's spot (which would have been unfortunate as I liked Terin...if only McCool was not in the top two at Trials, then she could have been left out instead), but her dance combos on FX were never in doubt and she could have scored higher than most of the other American girls there. The U.S. really lost the gold on beam and floor that night.

Yim would not have helped. She was overrated and wasn't even close to world class back then...

I'm not saying "what ifs" I'm saying and my point was that they made a mistake on choosing the team.

A lot of comments saying this shouldn’t have been televised, but people forget Olympic trials used to mean something and you could see right there if people made the team. Now Olympic trials is worthless. They pick the team that they want probably months in advance. Gymnastics really went downhill in the 2000’s.

@Huskyowner2007 I like your selection... but I think Alicia definitely did not to be on the team. Way too inconsistent. I would replace her with Annia Hatch, and maybe replace Allyse with Mohini Bhardwaj.
