[@GymnasticsWorldWide]

You can tell she constructed this routine with the World Championships in mind. I felt so bad watching her tonight. This time last year she was the star and now she is so injured. I think she should have the surgery

[@dansingdaisy]

Tristin V yeah she is 100% not making worlds this year (sadly) & needs surgery after Nationals

[@justjack643]

She’s on world team!

[@kameroncoleman9293]

@@dansingdaisy lol that aged well

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Josephine Wild I still don’t understand why they chose her. She had falls on bars and classic and championships both days and fall on beam and floor. Why the hell was she on the worlds team? Everyone loves her but she definitely did not deserve a spot even as an alternate. Also, why the hell is she doing a double freakin layout if her ankles are hurting permanently?!! Stupid construction with her ankle

[@eryng515]

Can’t get enough of her floor music

[@bdancerZ3]

I truly didn’t think she’d be able to pull this routine off with that ankle

[@ninatian2372]

She looks like she is in so much pain, I heard on the livestream at classics they wanted her to get surgery but she said no? Scared for her whole body.

[@rhylerember]

Nina Tian she does need surgery. I don’t know if it’s her decision or the coaches. Either way I think it’s a bit ridiculous

[@jennn8233]

Yeah, in an interview she said that she has three broken toes and constant ankle pain. I don't think Texas Dreams is doing any good for her ankle, especially with those landings.

[@grace_6236]

There is absolutely no logistical need for her to compete this year if she's aiming for 2020. But more importantly, I worry about the lifelong damage she's incurring by putting off her MUCH needed surgery.

[@susanelliott8577]

keepondreaming torn ligaments in her ankle. And apparently broken toes now too. I don’t understand putting off surgery if her goal is the Olympics. The sooner she gets it the more time she has to recover! Hopefully everything gets better soon

[@mackoCF445]

A lot of sprained ankles can heal without surgery. I haven’t heard anywhere that surgery was absolutely necessary. And sprained ankles can take a lot time to heal whether you have surgery or not. It’s not like a broken bone that heals fast.

[@adrianfacundomusic]

1. love the leo so much! 2. her legs are getting so big! she is going to be the biggest powerhouse everrrrrr!

[@anikokoren3417]

This music is incredibly beautiful and makes me cry every time:(

[@gbfutureolympians2883]

?

[@sonjam963]

She truly is such a fighter, love the new routine and hope she will be able to do it without her ankle pain next time ❤️❤️

[@ragandyann]

Her coach is stupid to let her compete when she is this hurt. She is ruining her chances in the future. Terrible move.

[@johnstollsteimer1083]

raggedyann I think Kim just wants the medals

[@rhylerember]

raggedyann not just ruining her future. Honestly her chance was last year. She needs to update. But there running the chance of her having lifelong pain.

[@jojox9791]

raggedyann A. It isnt her coach. Her dr thinks she is fine until at LEAST WC. They know what they are doing. She missed last year due to injury so I'm certain if her doc says okay its okay

[@carolineblueskies]

I honestly think she needs to do what Riley did last year and just sit out Worlds season/take a good few months off. Her poor body needs it. Riley looks so much stronger this year, and I'm sure it's because she finally gave her body a break to heal.

[@ragandyann]

@@jojox9791 .....her dr. Said she needed surgery and she said no. Not following the advice of a doctor at this level is just stupid.

[@alejandraesquer155]

bubble wrap this girl and let her heal. If in a years time she's healthy, then she can try again for worlds/Tokyo. THis was so foolish on her part and her coaches to rush through to nationals and classics and risk her body. For what? I'm glad she didn't make the national team, not because she is not worthy but so we don't keep rewarding abuse and bodily damage for the chance at a medal.

[@jrg305]

When was injury? I couldn't tell she was injured...

[@mcwyman7928]

jrg305 She severely injured her ankle at the World Championships last year. She qualified in 2nd to the all-around (with a fall) and was the favorite to win. She got injured during warm-ups, minutes before the competition started. She didn't get surgery on it (even though it was recommended by doctors) and it's been bothering her ever since.

[@mht4908]

She retired from elite now

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Well she tbh wasn’t worthy this year to make the national team. It was a mistake taking her to worlds even as an alternate. At least they could’ve taken Jordan Chiles to have a chance at a vault medal

[@micharaaa_]

I actually really like the music idk

[@betsybogdan4357]

this is my music lmao

[@Samantha-mn9yd]

She's gorgeous! Great Job, RayRay! 😍😍😍

[@Caveman25Mr]

Surly she'll have surgery after world's. I can't see her competing on that ankle for the next 2 years.

[@dansingdaisy]

johan sebastianbach I don’t think she’ll make it to Worlds based on her AA score. She stands in 9th position right now.

[@Appaddict01]

johan sebastianbach She should have just focused on beam & bars with the injury.

[@thecreativegeek7886]

johan sebastianbach - She needs that surgery ASAP. If she misses Worlds to heal up from surgery, she still has the 2019 Worlds (possibly) and the 2020 Olympics.

[@Caveman25Mr]

yes,i concur,was hoping she'd improved greatly night 2 unfortunatly not so much.now she can take the time she needs to recover,and GET THAT SURGERY !!

[@MatthewLavezzoli]

i say you compete beam and bars until you know you’re healed (no more floor or vault until 2019 besides training) ...this felt slow and forced

[@jodavitow]

I've never been a fan of her, she always is awkward to watch for me, idk. But boy does she need to take a break and heal or have that surgery or whatever. Despite me not liking her, I recognized she was great last year. Now it is awkward and painful to watch, it's such a downgrade. She needs to heal because she won't make it to tokyo like this. She's an all arounder and didn't even make top 10...

[@sarahk.g.7861]

one of the only good triple wolf turns on floor. she had such an off night though, i hope she’s okay. i’d rather she take more time off to heal and be solid for tokyo than risk burnout now

[@misoginainternalizadaopres7131]

Go to saw her 2017 wolf turns, she never loses the form and keeps her hands straight This is downgraded, she came back to 2015

[@beyblade332]

She needs to increase the difficulty of her routine but she has great fluidity and her floor routine is fun

[@thecreativegeek7886]

That double arabian was painful... 😬

[@yagochaize3451]

I love ragan

[@kameroncoleman9293]

D & E - DLO - F 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 - C + D (0.1 CV) Switch Ring + Split Full - C + C Double Arabian - E Switch Full - D Triple Wolf - E Double Pike - D Acro - F, E, D, D (1.9) Dance - E, D, D, C (1.5) CV - 0.1 CR - 2.0 SV - 5.5 DLO - 0.8 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 - 0.3 Leap Series - 0.1 Double Arabian - 0.2 Switch Full - 0.1 Wolf Triple - 0.3 Double Pike - 0.5 5.5 + 7.7 - 0.1 = 13.1

[@fabrizioniccolini680]

A great athlete.

[@peachesiknowmorgan477]

I love Ragan but this is just my opinion I can’t tell her what’s best for her, but I think she just needs to take some time off if she doesn’t make worlds and heal she should not compete until at least 2020 and upgrade on every event.But we have not sacrificed what this young lady has and it’s pro really hard to be right on the bubble of making your dream come true best wishes to you sweetie.

[@elizabethshingola2787]

Amazing 💓

[@juliakaeip1813]

GO RAGAN!

[@grace_6236]

At least it's not the Addams Family....

[@josecamacho8012]

Omg i love the floor music

[@hazelnutspred3348]

7.7 without a fall?

[@roycheung9210]

those low landing , that's where the deduction comes From

[@blessingofficial9625]

I think its bc she some if her tumbling pass where long, going back instead of up (thats probably why she landed a little short on her double layout) and some of her leaps wheren't 180.. she is fighting her way back from a injured ankle ( that needs surgery ) but she opted for phyical therapy ..poor kid its probably still painful-- she truly is a beautiful gymnast she probably would have won worlds in 2017 if she hadn't injured her ankle during warm up.. but she has grown into a beautiful mature gymnast .. I remember when her floor was cute but her choregraphy has matured.. I hope she can make a full come back .

[@dpguinee]

she had a bunch of low landings, the wolf turn wasn't good, and the Arabian pass was poorly executed, along with other small things

[@johnstollsteimer1083]

Hi my name's Catrina deep squad -.5 dlo low landing and form breaks, a good amount of lack of balance, it all adds up too quick

[@AmberDoubleU]

I don’t get the low scoring, routine didn’t look that bad!!!

[@klt5756]

So sad that she has a Doha-themed floor routine that she won't even be performing at Worlds lol

[@bunkerhillguy2542]

She should take a break to let her body heal. Then come back. I couldn’t imagine tumbling on an injured ankle

[@Samantha-mn9yd]

My sister has got the same floor music! It's "Opa" from Dimitri Vegas ft. Like Mike! 😉

[@PhenixJoe]

She has looked tired all week

[@pillowmuzictv]

And I can see this routine at worlds

[@Kh-ld9os]

Where is she in 2019?

[@desijames7947]

OU college

[@lily919]

she does gymnastics for the oklahoma sooners along with maggie nichols

[@sherpajacket]

she’s thriving at ou!!

[@chialeendrums]

Why would her coach let her compete with an injured ankle? Ragan should rest

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Ik and doing a double layout!??!! Jeez it’s incredibly low I could lie on the floor head to foot and she’d go over me. (I’m like 6ft)

[@sketchers987]

This routine was pretty decent. Don't see what everyone is complaining about.

[@Samantha-lr9qe]

ContractTerminated she had low landings and some passes were a bit sloppy, technique wise.

[@pao9635]

Her ankle was the problem

[@nathanielhalls1893]

You really think you’re funny? 🤔

[@Hold_Fast_Clanmcleod]

She was absolutely fantastic when she first debuted as a senior but now I’ve just lost interest in her she’s so stiff. Also she really needs to take out that triple twist before she injures herself even further because she under rotates it almost every time. Her landings on that pass are really sloppy and just add deductions.

[@Martina-qu9vc]

👌

[@josecamacho8012]

Ok you dont have to be rude Kim wants her to go to the olimpics so dont be rude

[@gymjenny]

she is not ready to compete
