I think 2017 was Ragan's peak and it just too bad she got injured before Worlds AA. Really miss opportunity

[@rio-mh6eo]

even in 2016, she was really at her top. I remember her at Jesolo where she was incredible. Unfortunately she didn't make the olympic team at her best level :(

[@pedropelaez]

2017 was her peak only because of the injury at the 2017 world championships followed by the other injuries she faced. Her potential peak would have been higher and longer if not for those injuries (in my opinion). 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@jeefand]

Can we all be grateful that they finally gave her mature music and choreography!!! This is so much better. I'm a fan

[@mcwyman7928]

I'm slightly concerned for her. I know this is just podium training and this is the place to get mistakes out but she seems really tired. Also it looks like her difficulty isn't as high as a lot of the other girls, who are throwing down Moors and Silivas and Chusovitinas. I do hope she does well though because she's great.

[@neversaygoodluck]

Her ankle being constantly swollen and bruised isn't almost there.

[@soapygirl83]

I wouldn't say almost there, she never got surgery on it and it's still heavily taped. I worry if she's going to need surgery

[@melissaburckhartt6721]

the podium looks like it’s not very springy. most of the girls had uncharacteristically under rotated skills

[@omrianhussain4704]

There are very few with high d scores then her don't forget that she had the highest score in qualifying on this event

[@StacyA1000]

She needs to have surgery now so she can be back up to competition level by the end of 2019 and into the Olympic year. I’m afraid if she doesn’t have the surgery she’ll be too injured to even be considered for the team.

[@LL-wu8ge]

Eek, all her landings looked scary. 😳

[@brutejonny]

Ragan always has my favorite floor music! So glad she's back in competition - I hope her ankle is healing well!

[@StacyA1000]

it isn’t.

[@jessicadrennan1123]

Thank you so much for leaving a positive comment! So many people focused on some of her bad landings it was nice to see you stay positive!

[@brutejonny]

Jessica Drennan Yeah - I do wish fans would take a note from he gymnasts themselves and be supportive and encouraging. It’s one of my favorite things about the sport because all of these girls work SO HARD. I guess there’s nothing we can do except ignore haters and try and contribute as much support as we can.

[@thetwinnies5970]

ahh, I love her so much!! so happy to see her doing floor again :)

[@MariahCoco]

Her Leo is goals 🙌❤️

[@morgibrown]

Love Ragan, not so in love with this music

[@hazelnutspred3348]

K bye

[@elenabrunetti7297]

Really praying for ragan to do what she's capable of doing. It's your time to shine Girl,go and get it

[@withlove312]

The tumbling is really labored, but I love the new choreography and style choice. I hope she only gets better. Edit: I'm surprised y'all saying you hate it, I for one like the Greek-esque dance.

[@Erin78G]

You look beautiful and poised out there, Regan. Praying that your ankle is feeling strong today!

[@kameroncoleman9293]

[@GymnasticsWorldWide]

Wow her floor is looking sluggish

[@X_MissMary_X]

Oooh, they're finally deciding to give her choreography fitting a young woman! I like! But why the heck didn't they get that surgery THE DOCTOR TOLD THEM TO?!?

[@kirstenmurdey7864]

YEAH, SHE WOULD BE IN SO MUCH LESS PAIN IN THE ONG RUN

[@trinibwoy27]

OOH NEW FLOOR EXERCISE MUSIC AND CHOREOGRAPHY. 😁😁😁❤❤❤

[@lisagrindsater3495]

She’s my favorite 🤸‍♀️gymnast

[@ninatian2372]

She does not look good, her double Arabian looks scarier than ever, she seems tired, her ankles are weak, nowhere near the level she was last year, seems beat down and injured, her body is going to completely give out soon, she/her coaches need to listen before it's too late.

[@ChinchillinInASombrero]

Her double arabian has always terrified me.

[@jenjean70]

Oh my goodness- YES!

[@AshleighJaydeFleming]

Same! It has not improved after all these years. I wish she would change it to something else

[@withlove312]

It always seems slowly rotated and heavy.

[@lavashu1916]

Gymnastics Nation same

[@PhenixJoe]

At least it’s not toddler choreo anymore

[@dylaneyy]

I thought the same thing

[@Daisy-tp1ft]

I really like her 2016 floor routine better than this one though

[@ju974100]

This looks promising :) lack of power here and there but the adrenaline on the d-day will help :) Go Ragan!

[@carolineblueskies]

thank god she didn't re-use her routine from last year, what a mess. very worried about her ankle still, though.

[@hazelnutspred3348]

Girl bye

[@francescacialone9030]

I really wish Kim's husband would get a haircut....not sure why he thinks his hair looks good long

[@Daisy-tp1ft]

I loved Ragens 2016 floor music!!

[@badmingtonsunset1386]

I really liked her 2017 music

[@chrissyjoy08]

That flippy thing at 1:03-1:07 was fun and caught me by surprise. I did a double take and had to rewind, lol! Not a fan of this music or choreo. Really worried for her ankle.

[@Andrew-pf5fj]

Tbh I doubt we'll be seeing her at Worlds. I thought she would pass up Morgan, but it's not looking so promising now. I think we'll be seeing Simone, Morgan, Jade, and Riley.

[@mcwyman7928]

5 go to worlds. She could still make it.

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

Andrew I think morgan went right past her

[@MarySupertramp]

She is a great dancer and many girls from the team should hire her choreographer!!

[@CourtneyK87]

That ankle is still bothering her. She's so talented

[@Getufiitnow]

Nice keep up the good work

[@teamme6311]

love you girl

[@martinfelsenfeld6012]

Did anyone see what happened Friday on the way the gymnasts performed? Maybe this will help forget about the sad stories that pertained to gymnastics in 2017 and the first half of 2018, but lately some girls wore one slipper! And Ragan Smith (who won the title last year) is one of them! A UCLA girl also wore one shoe on the floor exercise. Do you think it can happen in the 20's decade with three Summer Olympics scheduled in Japan, France, and L.A.? As I said it should get the infamous issues of the past out of mind-heard that Simone is ahead this year!

[@mjamitche5245]

Do you think that they are wearing one slipper as a show of solidarity with the survivors? Perhaps it could be some symbolism having to do with Cinderella. Or do you think it is so they can better spin on their turning foot?

[@user.1302.]

I love Ragan so much but she's just not doing anything for me anymore. She has had the same four tumbling elements (double lay, triple full, double arabian, double pike) since 2015. LITERALLY. 2015. If it's been 4 years and you still haven't upgraded, then you need to find out why. I certainly don't think it's because she's not working hard enough and I know she's been injured, but she should have made some definite progress/upgrades since then. She's seem to hit a plateau that I feel like she might not ever overcome.

[@mackoCF445]

yummmmderekjeter People are really spoiled by Simone, Jade, etc. Just because they upgraded easily to double doubles and crazy passes doesn’t mean that’s the norm. Most girls don’t have the power for skills like that. Look worldwide and how few gymnasts can do double doubles. It doesn’t help that Ragan has been injured for long stretches of time. She’s having enough trouble with the passes she has now. I do think they should find a different pass for the triple full pass though. It has never been easy for her.

[@tiredxillennial7019]

OMG that is quite possibly the most obnoxious leo I’ve ever seen

[@jenjean70]

I like it. :)

[@StacyA1000]

Oh I know !! I don’t like the suit either .

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

What happened to the other sassy routine?

[@mr.starkidontfeelsogood2485]

What is the second song called?

[@sophieyoung8618]

I swear ally raismen used this song once

[@Sophie95ive]

Personally, I prefer her more theatrical floor routines. Not a huge fan of this music, and the choreography is not as interesting/captivating as in previous years..

[@kameroncoleman9293]

yikes

[@MyLuisbatista]

Damn. She fixed her double Arabian in 2017 and now it looks exactly the way it did in 2016...

[@thecreativegeek7886]

Luis Batista - It may be due to her injury?

[@jodavitow]

her choreo is actually sort of nice but she puts zero emotion into it

[@willowsmith5503]

jodavitow is a run through she’s not gonna put emotion there, have u ever seen a ragan floor it’s so energetic

[@asmrdude1593]

I actually kinda really like the music and choreo

[@candacebordelonph.d.8890]

That was hard to watch. She's definitely had a growth spurt--it might be time to re-evaluate her skills and style. I'd love to see her lose the trademark hair bow and take on a more elegant style. The double Arabian needs to go.

[@tammybannon8343]

Her ankle is still in the line.. but this was clearly not solid for her

[@bamagym]

This music is awful..omg

[@kareharpies]

Bad technique and a growth spurt collided to undo her 😫. She never did set properly but when she was four foot eight she could still land upright.

[@neversaygoodluck]

Bad technique, yes. Growth spurt, not so much. She literally just did an interview talking about how she fractured her back at American Cup in 2016, and her ankle is still messed up from worlds "She still wraps that left ankle in heavy bandage for high-pounding events, bruises and swelling visible when she removes the wraps even nine months later".

[@wickedfan4ever]

If it was literally anyone else, the growth spurt wouldn't be so bad. She was only 4'6" in 2016 and is probably still under 5 feet by a couple inches. She's just unlucky that it didn't hit her until after 16 and that they didn't teach her how to set properly because her form is clean otherwise.

[@inmysoul_TLH]

I dont really like the routine lol and the music is bad :l

[@ChristineF1234]

She just needs time to adjust to her growing body.

[@user-tr5ti6ij6f]

Американского хореографа однозначно надо уволить

[@ben44700]

horrible music
