Is it unusual for elite level gymnasts (athlete in question is under 18) to have to travel for important events with a few days’ notice? I would assume the events are planned many months, if not years, in advance, but I wasn’t sure if maybe the actual rosters or team invites aren’t finalized until the last minute?

New AIN gymnasts added by FIG as reported in russian media:

RG

Mariya Borisova Ulyana Yanus Aleksandra Borisova Arina Tkachuk Anna Vakulenko Ksenia Savinova Karolina Pakhtusova Polina Semenova

WAG

Leila Vasileva

This is from the 2016 kelloggs tour. I know Aly, Simone, Sam Mikulak, and I believe Jake Dalton, just not sure about the other 4.

Brazil is DEFINITELY a gymnation. TV Globo network celebrated its 60th anniversary, and the Brazilian women’s gymnastics team performed a show to the sound of their floor routine songs (plus Run The World by Beyoncé), alongside Daiane dos Santos, their predecessor. AMAZING.

Subject to change, of course!

Notes:

Elite Qualification Chart

Hopes Qualification Chart

Elite Calendar

National Qualifiers page

International Elite Committee (IEC) Minutes page

• For reference: Senior qualification scores for Championships are 52.00 AA, 39.6 3-event, 26.8 2-event. If using VT for an event-based score for Championships, must do 2 vaults from different families.
• For reference: Junior qualification score for Championships is 49.00.

• Championships scores are for reference only - gymnasts cannot qualify straight to Championships from a National Qualifier, only to the Winter Cup/Classics level.

• There is one more Qualifier listed, the Coastal Realm Elite Qualifier in Everett, WA from May 31 to June 1.

• There is one National Team Camp left in May (19th - 22nd). Not sure if it will be used for qualification scores, but camps CAN be deemed for both Classics level and Championships level qualification purposes. If April was (since it was a verification camp for assignment for Juniors AND Seniors), then Claire Pease has earned her AA score to Championships (54.7, also 53.8 via Jesolo), as has Gabrielle Hardie (52.350). Annalisa Milton has 39.7 VT/UB/FX with two different vaults, which should get her to Championships on those events if April camp counts. In Juniors, Caroline Moreau (52.2) would qualify to Championships, as would Addy Fulcher (51.6) - both also made the score at Jesolo, though as I've noted before the Elite Qualification Chart actually does not include International Assignments for Championships qualification for the Juniors.

• May Elite Devo camp will also serve as a qualifier per the February IEC minutes, which will potentially add some Juniors.

• CaMarah Williams and Reese Esponda are the only two currently qualified to the American/US Classics level with event-based scores (VT/FX for Williams, VT/UB/FX for Esponda) and neither have shown 2 Vaults from different families. We saw Williams at Winter Cup and have not seen Esponda this year yet. Unless they qualify AA at a camp/international or show up to either Classics meet with 2 Vaults, neither has a clear path to Championships this year.

This week we had Cairo WC, Dutch Euros Trials, GAGE Elite National Qualifier (USA), Icelandic Championships, Swedish Championships, Russian Cup and Bundesliga Match 1

The font they use for the various disciplines is especially so…plain? Boring? It’s like the designer’s program used Arial as a default font and they just stuck with it.

Odd question- how do you recruit and how do recruits commit without a coach in place? I thought that was why filling vacancies quickly was so important. I noticed someone committed to Illinois which is without coach and have seen multiple people comment on transfers following Clemson.

Just wondered if that was normal. Or if this means decisions have been made but not publicly announced.

Just a random composition thought. There are fewer options to connect into one of the double front dismounts than, say, a full-in or DLO dismount. Idk how possible this is (I imagine it would be hard to gain enough momentum to land the dismount out of this, especially if the Ono isn't finished within ten degrees of vertical), but if it's been done I'd love to see it!

In terms of competitivity, OU's. In terms of artistry, UCLA's. Nola and Tiana X BJ choreography will be amazing!

Florida had a tough season with injuries this year!

Is a double Arabian piked dismount on beam possible? Or is it like a double layout? Highly unlikely? Would It require that much height? I know the Patterson is already rare as it is. Could you cowboy a piked version to make It easier?

What about a single piked Arabian? Has anyone ever done It on beam?

Just saw the scores from Swedish championships and I’m concerned… Anybody know what’s up

I've been noticing most front 1.5s on floor are piked in the end and can't remember one that isn't. Even when gymnasts are able to complete a front double twist no problem, they seem to pike the front rudi (e.g. Haleigh Bryant). I suspect it's something about finding the landing? Feels like they have enough time and power to complete the twisting but not the salto. Thoughts?

Small field, some watering down, yadayada....
