(1) Ali says:

I love her floor! And she has a strong vault. I don’t remember her bar routine. Does she have the difficulty to be in the bar lineup? She really is talented - and one to keep an eye on in the future!

(2) Jen says:

I don’t think she will- she’s not the best on bars, which is where the US really needs someone. I think she’ll do great during the next quad– just needs to build international experience and fit in where the US needs her.

Ali, I agree, her floor is fantastic! And I think both you and Jen bring up good points about her uneven bars.

Though I don’t think she is the most likely candidate to be #6, I think she does some great gymnastics, and just the fact that she is in contention is really impressive.
