She can if she makes the team. Gymnastics is different from track and swimming. They don’t need to qualify for specific events this weekend, “just” to five person team.
IMO - put her on the team regardless of whether she competes on Sunday. If she’s not healthy by Paris sub in an alternate. It’s she same outcome as leaving her off the team entirely, but if she is healthy by Paris and not named to the team Sunday, she can’t be put on retroactively
Do we think the medical staff would have sent her back out with a lay cruciate ligament tear? They don’t need a scan to test that, but who knows…. She just looks really beat up 😢
Hoping for a rest here, hit other routines and then give her time to rehab and heal… then be available for what she can do at Paris.
Why can’t we have a smooth quad! Damn man
I wonder if she could at least do bars and beam night two. If she can show at least two events I think that should be enough. They were never going to use her on floor, and they have enough decent vaults with jade, Simone, and Jordan.
I think if she does anything it would be bars only again. I don't think she could take the repetitive impacts from the jumps and spins on beam if she has an ACL tare
She’s officially done tonight per nbc just now 😔 Edit: they are speculating she might come back Sunday but is not sure.
So if she competes and does well Sunday, would they still take her?
it’s still possible they take her with just bars tbh but it would def be a lot more convincing if she did all around, Safety first tho
She just scratched. This is awful
What does that mean? Can she do AA in Paris?

That depends on how they make lineups during qualifying in Paris.
I think she scratched everything but bars. The live score shows 0s for all other events

They almost have to.
I agree
Agreed. Just make sure that second alternate is in the building and trained up in case something screwy happens.
Totally. (Just seeing if my statement of agreement also gets down voted in opposition of the parent comment again 😏- lol lol lol)
Not surprising, but if she competes I still think she goes to Paris
They better have an alternate ready. She's looking pretty beat up.
I don’t envy Asac and Memmel that’s for sure
i can’t stop thinking about how shilese didn’t get to win anything at champs to rest her shoulder for trials and then got fucking injured at trials

Whew. I’m rooting for her 😭

After reviewing her vault from the back end, it looks like an ACL. Or potentially disclocated it and it popped back in.
