This really tests their capabilities and shows what they can/cannot do under pressure. Of course, if she's really looking for a specialty slot, then this wouldn't work because she would only want those girls who are great on those events. Maybe, she will do a bit of both. It's hard to know what she has in store.lkrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10166461164880293662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853910058498686654.post-46511624576408994262008-07-18T14:32:00.000-07:002008-07-18T14:32:00.000-07:00Shayla worley has broken his leg!Shayla worley has broken his leg!Giulyx14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14303808514373692210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4853910058498686654.post-30499295957256839522008-07-18T11:37:00.000-07:002008-07-18T11:37:00.000-07:00I was looking around the internet trying to find s...I was looking around the internet trying to find somewhere to get coverage of the Selection Weekend and I came across gymnast.com. A guy named Steve McCain is reporting from there and keeping a running analysis after each gymnast finishes her routine.

I hate how everyone keeps romanticizing her chances so unrealistically and wanting her to make the team right now. She's not ready and, quite frankly, except for floor, she's still not good enough. Mattie making the team if Sam doesn't? That sounds like a joke. She has neither the experience, nor really the skills needed, except maybe for floor and, possibly vault. But is it worth gambling on her extreme inexperience in major international competition? I don't think so. I know everybody likes her but wait. Her time will come and she WILL be brilliant.
