Chellsie Memmel - Balance Beam - 2021 U.S. Gymnastics Championships - Senior Women Day 2

[@spanglelime]

Chellsie is back out competing after 9 years and giving birth to two beautiful kids. That is a win bigger than any title. 👸🙌🏿

[@asabifatosin1150]

Well, not really. But she’s in good form, her routine is interesting, her comeback is admirable and she is too be commended.

[@AmyCH102]

I just love her joy for the sport. I hope she comes back next season.

[@AterraTkd]

Off day Ms Chellsie! But you can do it! We all have seen you complete all your routines! Keep moving forward, it will happen.

[@liceous]

so i think it's pretty clear the timing isn't working for the olympics. BUT i think her love for the sport can carry her well into the next quad onto the worlds teams and potentially the 2024 olympics. that said, i still think she has enough time to place in the top 11 at trials and make alternate, as USA will be naming 5 alternates in addition to the 6 olympic spots.

[@jbaker1107]

Aren't there 4 spots plus 2 alternates? I'm confused by this (new to gymnastics random...)

[@kevr7887]

agreed, i think she should stick around for at least next years worlds.. she could easily medal with more training

[@macerface]

I dont think she made trials

[@katiewaite3232]

You have to be on the national team to go to trials

[@harryt5878]

I’m really hoping she’ll be on the team for 2021 worlds

[@stepitup25]

Some really solid elements. I know she wanted so badly to hit everything (we all wanted her to). Keep trying Chellsie! On a side note, I love her leotard!

[@bethayen2865]

So proud and inspired by your efforts!!! Keep that smile on your face ! Might not have been your day but you’ve brought happy tears to my eyes watching you go for your dreams a 2nd time

[@micheleleimbacher5867]

She was one of only a few people who took the risk to do an arabian and not the only one who fell trying. The rest of the routine was awesome and packed with difficulty - amazing when you landed the arial , back, back - also not everyone attempting such a difficult move, and she only just put it on the high beam about 3 weeks before this competition - Chellsie is a champion and she proved that she can do everything they can do and more - Go Chellsie go!!!

[@laurie9437]

You are amazing!

[@davidlui2361]

I feel so bad for Chellsie.. after having such a great first night, I just want her to keep her head high 😔🥺😭

[@EmilyNGymFan]

If she competes in LA 2028, then she’ll become the new Oksana Chusovitina.

[@gaodrob7938]

Really surprised by that very low Beam score, despite the fall the rest was very solid. Execution score of 6.750 for that is harsh :(

[@jbaker1107]

She had a few balance checks and wobbles

[@gracieparry6771]

well she did wobble on pretty much everything

[@kailaleegibbons6143]

Lots of balance checks, hesitation, missed connections. All adds up.

[@gymnasticswithanna]

Poor Chellsie! She fell on bars twice and put her hand down on vault and now on beam! Hopefully she performs better at Trials!

[@rachel-marieweiss564]

Can someone explain the D score to me? Obviously she missed the .1 from the mount series and maybe lost another .1 if the popa got downgraded but shouldn't that be a 5.6?

[@warrenmcfarlane5679]

You are amazing!
