Let’s do all of it once more.
Day 1 of nationals gave us the Blakely and DiCello present, as they slotted into 2nd and third locations behind Biles with each showing on all of the aggressive highest-scoring Olympic groups primarily based on Friday. Does that sustain immediately?
I’m Blakely’s sophomore Cheng to see if that continues to lock in her place on a possible Olympic crew, and I’m trying on the floor-contender hierarchy. DiCello’s 13.850 from day 1 beat Wong and Sumanasekera on 13.700, Carey on 13.600, and Chiles on fall-for-12.750 so it’s tremendous shut for a floor-worker spot. Although I don’t know why I’m that as a result of…you realize, most likely simply the all-around standings.
However whether or not it’s for his or her all-around placement or for his or her highest-scoring crew capabilities, gymnasts like Chiles and Carey will know they need to knock off DiCello (and Wong and Sumanasekera) on flooring come Trials in the event that they’re to make a very good case.

They’ll identify the automated two (Biles and Blakely) and minimal 10 others to Trials. Positively the highest 10 AA immediately will probably be nationwide crew/trials. We’ll see in the event that they then go right down to Molomo and Rose immediately after which add Jones and Lincoln as a part of the group, or if they’ll be along with the named athletes.
DiCello nonetheless will get third AA, although if we’re now peak rating over the 2 days of competitors, Chiles would be part of Biles, Blakely, Lee, and Jones-from-Basic on the best scoring crew reasonably than DiCello. DiCello’s flooring common hitting each days nonetheless places her within the flooring place on common, since Chiles missed on day 1.
Additionally only a heads up that Roberson’s 14 on flooring places her on the highest-scoring crew from day 2 alone.
With that good beam and a “my iffy Cheng was nonetheless the identical as a very good DTY,” Blakely stays is robust place. Lee’s beam immediately places her on the highest-scoring crew and her simple bars is correct there with what the very best different choices are scoring, so she stays in good place as nicely. They’re in good place, together with Biles clearly and Jones if she’s OK.
So we’ve gone with a come-one, come-all strategy to the nationwide crew, with 16 making the preliminary lower, and people are additionally the trials qualifiers. The highest 14 AA and Jones and Lincoln. Madray Johnson and Jayla Grasp would be the first two out.
