I never thought about how Suni flew under the radar in 2020 but it’s so true. Idk if it was cause the pandemic had people acting weird or if people were so focused on making fun of Simone for withdrawing, but suni really didn’t get her flowers. She came from behind to carry the US on her back in all around, moved ahead of Rebecca Andrade from qualifications, and literally saved the US’s dynasty in all around and it’s like no one cares.
Nobody cares about Suni's achievements? Not sure where you got this idea. She was celebrated like all the other women all-around gold medalists from the US have been with various high-profile television interviews, magazine covers, and everything. Carly Patterson from 2004 is arguably the one who got the least attention. Nastia, Shawn (altho silver winner in AA but gold on beam), Gabby, and Simone are the others. Suni participated in "dancing with the stars" like Shawn Johnson, and Laurie Hernandez did right after their Olympics. Then Suni was one of the first wave of professional US Olympic medallists to compete in NCAA in 2021-22 season. Jade Carey, Grace McCallum and Jordan Chiles are the other medallists, all of whom are still competing in college, except Jordan, who took the year off to prepare for these Olympics. She plans to return to UCLA next season. (Jade and Leanne Wong are somehow balancing college with training elite to prep for an Olympic run, as is Konnor McClain and several other NCAA gymnasts from other countries.) Watch any Auburn (Suni's team) meet in 2022 and note how often they mention her name. Also note everything they say about her including how she has single-handedly brought national attention to an otherwise rather obscure team/college. How their attendance is a sellout every meet although they are in a location that is not densely populated to put it mildly. How the school overachieved to reach the final four in the national championships, which wildly exceeded their past achievements. If you still think Suni is not recognized enough, who are you using as a comparison? ❤
@@gymlandia4467Why do you think people only like gymnasts based on whether the skin color of the gymnast matches the skin color of the person watching? This sounds like an extremely narrow and immature perspective. Difficulty of skills, execution, style are all irrelevant? My reply to the OP talks about Suni's popularity, which it seems both of you have missed out on. But it's not too late to catch up. ❤
@@dronesclubhighjinks again most Americans don’t know who suni lee unlike gabby & Simone who are globally known celebrities. So again gtfo out my face with that Declaration of Independence long response.
@@jewelsnjoyI don't wanna see Josc period. She can impress me with the difficulty but her form on beam and bars is seriously atrocious, even by USA standards. Her vault is so weird for some reason, and I do like her floor routine to be fair. It's very entertaining
The intro, the power ranking order, the explanations, the energy 😍 I agree with everything you said. Thank you for making this video. I know it took you so long, but we appreciate watching premium, funny, accurate and unbiased Gymlandia content. ❤ Also, the whole Jade part 🤣🤣🤣 Jade is coming back for her throne OKAY
I’m SO EXCITED for Shilese!! I pray she’s healthy for Paris!! No injuries please, Queen!! Suni won’t beat her in the 2 per country. I doubt Suni will even be on the team if I’m being honest.
Simone is always #1 and GOAT. Shilese has a lot of potential on floor, bars and beam. Both of them are nearly locked. Jade is going to Jade her way out on floor, which will help her score 14 to mid 14. If she ditches L hop 1/1 & switch 1/1, her score will rise. If Gabby does a 6.4D bars and her execution is like what she showed in the training video, she will go 15+ on bars. Her beam will go 14 to mid 14 without rings. The 5th spot is wild open.
Jade did a Switch 1/2 and a Popa in her most recent NCAA routine, and those are two C elements right there that are a better fit for her. The only benefit of aiming for a switch 1/1 is that she's probably also gonna get a 0.1 precision deduction for the switch 1/2, so she might as well attempt the D skill over the C one.
@@asharadayne6159 Yes, I love Jade's NCAA dance elements! What worries me for her switch 1/1 is the locked 0.3 shape. Her switch 1/2 on floor is pretty good, maybe 0-0.1 shape. That precision deduction can be avoided sometimes.
Gabby is not going 15+ every time on a 6.4D. Getting a 8.6 consistently is not easy. Gabby is 100% bringing rings on beam, she needs it to pad the difficulty. I think she's doing the switch ring alone and then trying to do the switch leap mount + switch 1/2 leap + ring jump.
@@ansonpang A 15 is based on the assumption that she has the same execution in their training video. Her bars composition doesn't have many build in errors. Idk. I don't think she needs her ring right? Switch leap mount + switch 1/2 + back tuck Back tuck 1/1 BHS LOSO front aerial + split + straddle full turn BHSO + BHS + Double Pike That's 6.1
@@ansonpangShilese consistently got an 8.4-8.5 in Antwerp. Qiu Qiyuan got 4 8.4s. Gabby has fewer built in deductions, so I think that she could do it.
@@skinbyjjto be fair, Russia was a lot weaker in 2016. Aly, Gabby, Simone, and Laurie could seriously be top 4 in All Around quals. They were way stronger on bars, and also floor. Melnikova was falling on all her wolf turns. Mustafina was weaker on floor.
People constantly underestimate Jade. Like, the woman was top 8 in the AA at the freaking Olympics! And a World vault of champion on top of that Olympic Gold on floor! Plus, let's not forget she does have that one international beam medal.😂😂😂
Langston what you said about Suni’s media attention vs Gabby and Simone is so true Gabby hasn’t even competed yet .. yet people are up in arms about her having to withdraw from winter cup or her not being able to attend at the April camp . Her name is making a lot of noise compared to Suni who did compete, and was invited to the April camp but declined.
FOFOCA, Rebeca está treinando um salto novo, as garotas estavam em um dia de entrevista, Rebeca estava treinando salto e o treinamento dela disse que ninguém poderia filmar o treino dela por que é um salto novo, ansioso para Paris
Its so exciting to see Biles set a standard and everyone rising there and to have her need to fight for her medals makes this sooo great I’m conflicted because i so want to see Rebecca dominate but I also want Simone to hold on to Gold
I don't think Simone is thaaat vulnerable. If she ignores the press and just focuses, she can still maintain her 1-2 point comfy lead. This list is thorough and well researched, and the clips are great!
Simone had a 2 point lead over 2021 Rebeca over Tokyo, but Rebeca has progressed a lot on floor, beam, and her bars have the critical acclaim now, so 2024 Rebeca is a lot more dangerous whereas Simone has upgraded not that much so the gap is closing
@@marsbars2889 that’s the point ik she can’t beat Simone’s best yet Simone’s never been in the situation in years. So again you know exactly wtf I’m saying
Here is the thing about Martha Karolyi. Two things can be true at the same time. Martha was very efficient at selecting Olympic Teams but she also fostered a nasty culture of deception, fear and unspeakable drama. Alicia, Chellsie and Dan have a very tough decision to make with their first Olympic Team Selection and also reversing the damage done that almost destroyed USA Gymnastics 🤔🤔🤔🤔
great power rankings Langston. I love this for Shilese. so awesome for her that she was just left off as an *alternate* last quad and this quad she's (barring injury) a lock. I also agree about Jade. she's such a jock, one of my faves, and I expect her to bring it. her vaults are easily the best in the US behind Simone, and she's the only one to have beaten Simone in YEARS on vault without a fall. also, her bars and beam are actually decent and very dependable. she's just an ATHLETE. I think the team should be: Simone, Shilese, Jade, Gabby, & Leanne or Kayla, depending on who looks better bc Kayla's stock is rising after pan ams and winter cup even tho I know you hate her bent-knees gymanstics LOL. if she's high in the AA rankings in the lead up or places top 3 AA at trials (which feels possible if leanne has mistakes) I think she's get it.
@@ansonpang right? it could go so many different ways. it will also be super interesting to see if gabby goes more for the bars and beam angle, which would make Kayla a much stronger candidate. but if gabby is getting that AA spot, I'd probably gamble and take skye or maybe even suni to try snag another individual medal
@@carrietremble why? she did it once before, and she looks to be in incredible shape and physique from the videos we've seen. if she's on her game I think she's a top prospect
I just laughed so hard with the "it's my MF....." love that! However Simone is only throwing basic skills and has about 2.0 or more point that she will be competing in Paris - again she won't have as large as a lead but it will be higher than at worlds.
Love the Paris footage in the beginning. Honestly, your top 5 is my team. Hoping Leanne and Jade come back strong at Classics, and if Gabby can pull a strong AA together(which I know she can) she will be on the team.
Omg your takes are so good! It's so extremely objective and I agree with most of your ranking. Your top 3 are so clearly locks to me if they hit their potential. I love that you're acknowledged that Simone, Shilese are very likely making the team but that need to be weary of potential pitfalls at Paris, I did not think beforehand that Shi can have a Jordyn Wieber moment and now I'm scared... Shi really needs to upgrade her bars if she wants a medal though, Kaylia and Qiu ain't playing around, and you have Alice D'Amato, Melanie and Becky trying to get 6.6 routines (although all are inconsistent), and the second Chinese who competes on bars will also not be playing around, maybe it will be Huang Zhuofan. I completely respect you put Gabby at #4, but we really have no idea what her competitive shape is like in terms of consistency. I want to put her at #3-4 as well if she's top 5 AA at Nationals, Trials. Her potential is so high and she can be such a huge contributor to USA, but we really don't know if she's consistent or whether her scores hold up, I don't know whether she meets the artistry check boxes. I can't bet on Texas (yas Beyonce album drop), because I gotta see the routines and not base my predictions on my assumptions. Her missing out on Winter Cup is so sad. The Olympics are like 4 months away and we haven't seen any routines yet! So ridiculous she wasn't asked to camp. I will put her above Suni at #6 after Jordan. Leanne is the biggest question mark for me. I don't know whether she will have the difficulty or upgrades in time, although she is competing the switch leap mount and double wolf right now at NCAA so I guess those are beam upgrades we'll see in elite. I wanna see her go all out on floor (like 2021 difficulty) and beam (like start doing Front Aerial + Ring Jump, and Side Aerial + LOSO again, like she needs to connect stuff). Her bars are whatever, it won't be a team final routine but a good backup, and her DTY is consistently clean. Jordan is another question mark - the potential is there, but I don't know what difficulty she's bringing. Her floor construction is extremely key, scoring 14.1-14.4s will be amazing for her. I am still not sure if she should do 3 or 4 tumbling passes because her dance skills are all C-rated, and I don't think she should go for the triple wolf and stick to the double. She needs to take out the L hop asap, same as Jade Carey. Likewise to your video, my question is where are the promised vault upgrades? Same with Skye's Cheng. I am also scared because Josc and Jess upgraded to the Cheng and got injured last year. I think you're sleeping on Kayla Dicello lol, her beam is definitely overscored but I think her floor has upgrade potential (she's practicing the double layout and Chuso and that might bring her floor difficulty to 6.2), and her beam will hold her back but she's consistent af and I see her scoring 56s+ at both Nationals and Trials. With only 5 gymnasts breaking the 56 barrier at 2023 Worlds, I trust her to hit... for now. The upgrades might be too much for her. She might take Leanne's/Jordan's spot and I won't be surprised. I will put her above Skye and below Gabby at #7. I don't want to see Joscelyn and Trinity at Paris, I'm sorry. They don't have the X factor. I really want to see Skye, but her falls are concerning and I don't want her to cost the team gold. I will still put her on Worlds teams in 2025-2027 to allow her to refresh and get a second wind, just like how Jordan, Leanne, and Shilese is succeeding this quad. If she can figure out floor and upgrade vault, she can be an AA medal contender next quad. I really don't know what the hell Konnor is doing right now, and I agree with your take on Kaliya.
I agree and hear everything you’re saying this mainly mixing potential and what we’ve seen. We haven’t seen anything from Jade, Gabby, Leanne, or Jordan. Haven’t from Simone & Shilese since worlds either. Yet still gabby is capable and helps the team more than Leanne & Jordan. But I will drop her below them if she gives Suni Lee vibes.
And those routines sucked for the most part and had no medal potential. Gabby’s bars has great construction and though we haven’t seen full routines which I mentioned but you wanna sit up here and act stupid asf.
@@gymlandia4467oohh I'm peeping the 3k views in 24 hours! Congrats! You should do a power ranking of all the AA contenders for Paris, or teams worlds ranking but that's hella analysis :) Or even event finalists rankings, like uneven bars 1. Kaylia, 2. Qiu, etc. vault 1. Simone 2. Rebe, etc. Another series idea!
@@leykimayriI share the same sentiment with you, but I have faith. Gabby is someone who won't announce a comeback unless she's confident she's going to be at least a strong contender, especially after the backlash she got at Rio. She does not want that negative media attention again. She doesn't fuck around
@@ansonpang Qiu is definitely ahead of Kaylia considering how she’s been scored and the defending world champion & the judges not fucking with kaylia in Paris. Yet you gave me a good idea.
@@trinibwoy27I think she has been. She's been resting a lot for LSU and just announced that she's trying to make the Olympic team so I would think she's probably been training elite? Who knows, but if she hasn't been she probably doesn't have a chance. Really really hoping she does though, I love her
Langston, I am sure you are heated with the news that Gaby wasn't invited to the selection camp. These MFs released the criteria just on Monday. These so-called criteria should have been well known before the season started so the gymnasts know what to expect and work on. I feel this is a conspiracy against Gabby because she has done interviews where she stated her interest numerous times in relying on camp and making some international assignments. I am crying FOUL by the USAGym. They will not succeed. Gaby shall rise and show this MFs what's what.
I agree on a lot of what you are saying, however, Simone Biles watered down her bars, beam, and floor routines for the 2023 competitions. If she does her highest difficulty, she will clear everyone. And she was robbed on execution value at the 2023 world beam finals, 8.3 was just too damn low. If her execution score was 8.9-9.5 like it should have been, she would have cleared like always. Again, with a watered down routine.
I judged her & gave her 8.5. I think they were strict but that same argument could’ve been made for Zhou who got a 8.2. My point is she can’t just stand still & hope for the best
@@gymlandia4467agree completely. I am dying to see what she upgrades she puts in her routine. If Simone throws Biles 2 on floor, Silivas, and the upgrades she’s shown on social media for bars, she’s going to win big
I definitely think one spot is going to be a battle between Jade and Joscelyn. I think USA could get through with Simone's Vault and two clean DTY but having a Solid Cheng is invaluable
It will be, especially to beat Brazil on vault. Jade can guarantee a second Cheng. She is competing with Joscelyn, and I would bet on her over Joscelyn as of now.
NOTHING BUT FACTS FACTS FACTS. 1. Simone: you are right she has never been this close to getting beaten before this is not like old times where she had four points ahead of everyone else. Shi and rebe can beat her with a mistake so the pressure is on for Simone. She has never been in this position. 2. Shilese: All the praise goes to her!!! The life that you are speaking into her is amazing but she has to turn tf up. She hasn’t be in a situation where anyone was challenging her from the US until now. We all want her to have the best games. She can make AA, UB, and even Balance beam and fx finals. We love Shilese! 3. “The queen of caucasians”🤣 “I know Joscelyn scared”🤣 Jade peaks internationally and stands on fucking business and medals I have to say I will rank gabby high off of potential but I wouldn’t bet on her beating shilese bc we haven’t seen full routines yet. I really have to wait to classics to see how high I rank gabby. I’m not doubting her at all bc if gabby is coming she is coming to make this team! Thank you for giving Skye her props no one else besides Simone can fall on beam and give a usable score. Also we ain’t gone down a black woman too much now. Give her that grace like they give their favorite Becky’s. Not saying you have to be delusional but don’t be so hard on her. I’m banking on Skye being top 3 AA, BB and top 4 on vt and UB. I wouldn’t rank Konnor above Kayla D. We haven’t seen Konnor do full elite routines or seen her since 2022. And you say you are not delusional, but if Konnor didn’t win nationals she wouldn’t even be as much as a factor. Not downing her but we basing everything off of 2022. We need to see her compete everything else. How dare you say Kaliya Lincoln fx will score the same as Josc R bffr. Josc fx all of last year averaged 0.5 least then Kaliya Lincoln domestically and internationally.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 it’s giving very delusional 😩 Zhou was only one tenth behind Simone. Rebe & Shilese made mistakes I never said Simone would be beat the point was she had to improve not to be. Like be so fr
@@aliciamcdonald7105 go on Gymasticfun channel she calculated theme Rebe is 15.1 VT, 14.5, 14.3, & 14.666. Beats Simone’s 15.1, 14.433, 14.433, 14.333. Beats it’s get over it 🥴
Jade!😂 she is fierce and NCAA has really helped her AA. Im excited to see what she does this year. Im also really imprssed with the difficulty Kayla DiCello has added. I know she's a lo g shot but she is beautiful gymnastics.
I rlly wanted to see the past 3 Olympic AA champs to be on a team (Gabby, Simone, Suni) it would be iconic I fear… so hopefully Suni can make a comeback, def rooting for Gabby comeback and prove haters wrong, I will never forget the hate she got back in 2016 🤦🏽
J. Chiles is reminding me of Morgan Hurd last quad around this time. Hopefully that’s not the case as she makes more sense than Leanne (especially after worlds) in terms of her potential on all 4 events. If Chiles can come back from injury and perform like she did this time last quad she’ll be on the Team over Leanne. Haven’t heard of any upgrades from Wong so we will see. Sunisa Lee is going to need to hit from this point forward to make a case for herself as a 2-event(?) gymnast. Clearly A Sac + Memmel are rewarding consistency so they are all going to have to prove themselves. But I agree that they should be picking teams in terms of medals. They are really hoping for Joselyn Robertson and Kayla DiCello. If either of them make the team they will be used as the scapegoat for the Olympic judges to absolutely tear Team USA up wherever they can. This team could look so many different ways as there is so much unknowns right now. But I seriously love how you made this a Power Ranking List like NFL. This is exactly what we needed going into Classics ❤ In a perfect world my ideal team would be : Simone, Shilese, Gabby, Jade, Suni 🤍 But I do think that if Suni can’t pull thru they will replace her with Skye and use Simone on Uneven Bars 💙
I think the gymnasts lower down the Power Ranking list - Joscelyn, Kaliya and etc. - could stick around for LA 2028 because they don’t seem to be top contenders as of now but still have the potential to be the best in the future. I could also see Shilese going for LA, Skye and dare I say even Gabby depending on how this year goes for her, but time will tell.
By Championships, I feel like the rankings will become even more clear. They need to come with the upgrades and the consistency cause it is OLYMPIC YEAR! It’s time to show out or go home! I like how you also highlight their cons, I feel like they’re not going to take anyone who does not have at least 3 great events. Ain’t no room for a 1 or 2 event specialist!
yaaaayy the vid finally came. Simones dominance is def hindered with ppl like Zhou n Especially rebecca (n jade) comin up n that makes this year extremely exciting, im ready to see erbody turn up. As far as shilese once again u read my mind because while team wise she can def help if suni n gabby come wit a 6.7 + UB d score or even just a higher execution score shi is out which sucks. i honestly dont care tho im jus glad to have seen her come this far after seein her at us champs in 2018 n so own very proud of her (if she upgrades ESPECIALLY ON BEAM OF FLOOR she can def stay out of the 2 per country lane but we’ll see) JADE CAREY honestly has the second best chance of makin the team imo simply off of USA’s need for a floor n vault specialist n who better than jade carey, she already looks healthy n happier with that beautiful chuso at NCAA im very excited if she turns up she got the spot 🤷🏾 Joycelyn being hyped when she debuted was understandable but she aint got nun on jade on floor im sorry😔
Jade just needs to ditch these L hop 1/1 and switch 1/1, adds her Olympic tumbling, she's going to put up a big score. Her dad said she's gonna add a new pass. Gabby needs inbar for 6.7D on bars. Does Gabby have an inbar though? Her 6.4D bars will go 15+.
Shilese is making the team even if she's 3rd on bars, I see her making top 3 AA 100% and has a super reliable beam, DTY vault and a great backup floor routine. She's a way better AA gymnast than Jordan, Leanne, Kayla, Jade, and dare I say Suni and Gabby (right now).
Yeah, Joscelyn’s young, so I could see her doing really well and improving next quad. But I don’t have her a top contender right now because her execution isn’t there yet. Agree on Kayla too. She could make the team if Leanne and Jordan aren’t ready, but she’s very much behind them if we’re comparing those three at the best. For Kaliya, I see her as someone to watch out for next quad, especially on floor. And she’s got potential on vault and beam. She needs someone to give her a better bars set too.
I don’t think Kayla is behind Leanne at her best anymore, Leanne just really doesn’t have the difficulty on bars/beam these days. And Leanne used to be better at floor in 2021 but these days Leanne got what 13.3 at Worlds while Kayla got 13.733 at Pan Ams and just upgraded from there as well. Jordan on the other hand is probably ahead of Kayla at her best especially on vault/floor.
@@gymlandia4467 Pan Ams scoring last year was pretty comparable to Worlds, don't be surprised if Kayla clears Leanne this year because even if Leanne has the natural talent and the execution, she just doesn't have the elite-level difficulty right now when training at University of Florida. Kayla tied a pretty good performance from Flavia at Pan Ams who was way ahead of Leanne at Worlds ergo Kayla is stronger on floor right now than Leanne. Leanne hasn't been at her best on floor since 2021. As for Kayla vs. Jordan, Kayla is definitely better on beam and Jordan definitely on vault. Bars I'm not sure, Jordan has great ability on bars but doesn't have a great routine composition which is why she's maxing out around 14.1. Floor she SHOULD be ahead of Kayla by a lot at her best but also had some weird skill choices in 2023 - her 2022 composition was much more suitable for her. Plus for the selection it's all going to be based on domestic scores anyways which are going to be even more favorable to overlooking Kayla's built in errors.
@@Plaspos pan ams scoring wasn’t comparable excluding vault. Bars, Beam, and Floor were hella lenient so that’s not true. Yet that’s assuming Leanne has the same routines from last year. I don’t think Kayla has a better DTY than Leanne. Leanne also didn’t do nowhere near her best in 2023 at worlds.
Rebe with a bilesl / amanar she can go 15.5 to 15.7 on bilesl and 15 to 15.2 amanar with her execution an landings biles will go 15.4 to 15.5 YDP with coach and built in deductions and cheng 14.7 to 15.1
@@HazelAmarie It's worse. Gabby asked to GO TO CAMP but DECLINED. It's giving 2019 Mai Murakami left out from the Japanese team due to stupid criteria.
I am cheering quite loudly for Simone, Shilese, Jade, Sunisa Lee and either Jordan or Konnor. Leanne and Kayla as the traveling reserves and Kaliya Lincoln and Trinity Thomas as the non-traveling reserves. I can’t wait to see these incredible athletes at championships and this trials is going to be SUPER competitive!
I mentioned she’s need upgrades. Yet so does Jordan & Suni. Kayla has a 6.1 on UB, 5.7 on FX, & a 6.0 max on BB that will likely be like a 5.6 internationally. So rn her competition is Jordan & Kayla. Jordan being on her ass and having breathing room over Kayla
Gabby is more of a, "it would be a great story" type of deal if she makes the Olympics. Konnor... she has the potential, but she seems like she needs someone to constantly whisper positive affirmations in her ear. I think she can destroy herself mentally. As for everyone else, it's going to be truly interesting.
If Simone Biles makes the Olympic team she will be the oldest American Gymnast ever to compete in the Olympics age 27 while for example if Oksana Chusovitina makes the Uzbek team it will be her 9th Olympics competing in her first 2 before Simone was born Barcelona in 1992 for the Unified Team and Atlanta 1996 for Uzbekistan and she will be 49 at this years Olympics in Paris
To be fair Simone only had like 5 months of training. I think she can add a lot of difficulty on floor and bars, and I think the second Laurent gets off the podium she’ll be unbeatable vault again.
Yes, and she had two weddings, a few bachelorettes, a couple of honeymoons and attending to the building of her new home all within months of WC. There was clearly a great deal of time time off from training. Not quite sure how much training she is doing these days.
She still wouldn’t be able to win if Rebe & Jade have an Amanar as well. Maybe but it will be close so regardless she probably won’t be unbeatable she has the advantage yet that’s not the point. Kaliya as of now isn’t close to Jade on her peak. Even if so she doesn’t have a great Cheng & potential Amanar.
Marta would have picked Simone, Suni, Jordan, and would have told Jade: "To hell with your nominative spot, we need you on the team, we will just have to su-k up the loss of your nominative spot. I care about quality not quantity" As for that 2nd nominative spot, I don't know who Marta would have assigned it to, maybe Kara Eaker? Or perhaps she would have given it to MyKayla Skinner as the consolation prize that it was (but in the end, M.S. did bring home silver even though just by chance). Who do you think Marta would have picked?
@@duranca Jade would have been a great addition. At least they can have a comfortable lead after the vault rotation. Jade could score 14 in Tokyo on bars. It's a fatal mistake for team USA to ignore international assignments and trust widely inaccurate domestic scores.
@@cocoroni1031 Yes, Jade would have made all the difference. I believe she was seriously thinking about forfeiting her nominative spot so that she could try for the team, but then she got so much media backlash for it, because that meant that a spot would be lost and one less gymnast would be able to go to the Olympics. Do you remember that? I think it began with a story by a sports writer for USA Today. Anyway, thanks for replying to my comment. I see your comments on a lot of these videos but we've never interacted.
@@gymlandia4467 That would've been sweet. I just forgot about Morgan b/c she wasn't at trials (if I'm correct). I think Tom Forster sort of ignored her leading up to Olympics.
Fortunately/Unfortunately This Olympic Tram will be made up primarily of Veterans/Young Women who have been doing Gymnastics for a long time. I don't see any of the First Year Seniors making enough of an impact to make the team like Hezly Rivera, Simone Rose, Jayla Hang, Reese Esponda. Maybe two of them will be invited to Olympic Trials to get them some much needed experience but that's as far as i see it going
The way women emasculate men is weird to me. Not Mr. Biles. Nice list accurate for explaining how teams are constructed. But we know Shilese has stepped up solidified #2 spot
That’s true but she barely had any training time last season. She’s been training more consistently. I think the nerves just got to her at winter cup but she is gonna be more solid in meets to come.
@@gymlandia4467 FR!! We wanna see that Cheng vault she’s been hinting at. We wanna see them beam/bar upgrades. We want you to slay these hoes with your swan lake floor choreo 🗣️🗣️🗣️
simone hits she wins the all around. She won by about 1.5 i think antwerp so she has room. I think however her most guaranteed medal is floor. She hits she wins. No one is anywhere neer a 6.7 in D score. However on vault she has competition and on beam.
She only won FX by 1 tenth. I said she was the favorite for sure. Yet Rebeca’s best scores would’ve beaten Simone in AA. Obviously Simone’s best beats Rebe by a comfortable margin. Yet that’s not the point
Simone has not shown her full potential on any event after coming back other than vault. She was mainly training the double pike. She was not planing two vaults at the start of her come back. The girl fell on vault and Rebecca didn't beat her by much which says alot. I don't think Simone has anything to worry about.... Shi has nothing to prove.. all she needs to do is stay healthy and consistent she's on the team without a dought.
Ok my point is she needs to upgrade. Rebe also went OB on her Cheng & only competed a DTY. So let’s not act like she can’t upgrade as well. I believe Shi will easily make the team yet we thought the same thing for Morgan Hurd & Jade Carey in the past & that wasn’t the case. Shilese wants medals in Paris not just to make the team
But Shi can be 2pc out of AA or bars final (by Gabby/Suni/Simone whoever makes the team) so she still needs to be aware of her progress. As Langston said, she can have a Jordyn Wieber 2012 experience despite seeing a lot of potential in 2011. She wants a bars medal and Alice d'amato, Becky downie, and melanie are all going for 6.6D routines, although they are all inconsistent af
@@ansonpang Listy as well. I think Nina is Her biggest challenge outside of the Americans for a medal on bars. I think with a 6.6 D score and better dismount she can be hella competitive on UB beat Kaylia.
@@gymlandia4467I understand your point. But girl, realistically Simone always upgrades ,she's proven that. I'm more concerned about the other girls. I don't believe Shi will get two per countried out in in bars. I'm rooting for her to make the all around. Floor and beam are going to be tough I believe though although I enjoy both from Shi.

Please take into consideration you're basing Simones Paris routines off of her *getting her feet wet again* past few meet routines, watered down to the max for Simone. She plans on bringing it much bigger and louder than she ever has. Simone is coming to win and i have no doubt she will. 4 finals. 3-4 gold and a possible bronze. Shilese is close behind now but again , watered down Simone and beast mode simone are not the same !
@@leykimayriHe’s spoken on how we haven’t seen much from Gabby but realistically speaking if she shows up and can perform to her 2016 standards she has potential to make the team + what we’ve seen so far in training. Why would he be talking about Simone from 2016 when Simone has been competing? His points were fair .. Simone is still a dominant gymnast but she can’t get comfortable that was all he said. Funny how you try twisting his words so you can compare Gabby and Simone again 🥱
Well, that was the best he could do considering Gabby hasn’t competed since 2016. We’ve haven’t seen much from her this year, yes, but we dare not underestimate Gabby. Few expected her to be one of the best gymnast in 2012, yet she became the Olympic all-around champion in London. She was doubted her in her comeback, yet she made the Olympic team to Rio in 2016. She’s shown us time and time again that she is far better than we give her credit for. And not to compare any gymnasts, but if you actually think about it, Gabby does have a better chance than most of the current top American gymnasts at making the Olympic team to Paris, which is why she was #4 on his power ranking.
Simone’s 2016 FX routine wouldn’t even meet the current requirements. Her VT would give her a very narrow advantage over Rebe & Jade as I mentioned. Her BB wouldn’t be close to beating Zhou from 2016 & she’s improved dramatically on UB since 2016. Rebe’s best scores from worlds beat Simone’s AA score. Obviously it’s unlikely Rebe goes all out but the point is she’s not unbeatable and the math points to that.
I’m skeptical about Gabby. She has not got any recent competition time under her belt. And I think Kayla DiCello has mastered the mindset and consistency and will be on the team.
@@gymlandia4467that’s not really what you said in the video tho but i get what youre saying. if she comes out with her best routines then she’s clearing everyone comfortably but she actually needs to do that or else it’ll be close
I bet Skye will be dominating in the next year/s to come if she sticks with elite gymnastics. Like Langston said in another video “they may peak later” something along those lines. I think it’s a maturity issue for Skye. She has the talent and skills for sure.
It is difficult for me to comprehend what you are saying when you speak so fast, limited pronounciation of words and all the cursing just simply turns me off!!
I never thought about how Suni flew under the radar in 2020 but it’s so true. Idk if it was cause the pandemic had people acting weird or if people were so focused on making fun of Simone for withdrawing, but suni really didn’t get her flowers. She came from behind to carry the US on her back in all around, moved ahead of Rebecca Andrade from qualifications, and literally saved the US’s dynasty in all around and it’s like no one cares.
She carried the team so hard in the team event 👏
The biggest issue is no one identifies with her. The main reason Simone & gabby are popular is because how much black people identify with them.
Nobody cares about Suni's achievements? Not sure where you got this idea.
She was celebrated like all the other women all-around gold medalists from the US have been with various high-profile television interviews, magazine covers, and everything. Carly Patterson from 2004 is arguably the one who got the least attention. Nastia, Shawn (altho silver winner in AA but gold on beam), Gabby, and Simone are the others.
Suni participated in "dancing with the stars" like Shawn Johnson, and Laurie Hernandez did right after their Olympics.
Then Suni was one of the first wave of professional US Olympic medallists to compete in NCAA in 2021-22 season. Jade Carey, Grace McCallum and Jordan Chiles are the other medallists, all of whom are still competing in college, except Jordan, who took the year off to prepare for these Olympics. She plans to return to UCLA next season.
(Jade and Leanne Wong are somehow balancing college with training elite to prep for an Olympic run, as is Konnor McClain and several other NCAA gymnasts from other countries.)
Watch any Auburn (Suni's team) meet in 2022 and note how often they mention her name. Also note everything they say about her including how she has single-handedly brought national attention to an otherwise rather obscure team/college.
How their attendance is a sellout every meet although they are in a location that is not densely populated to put it mildly.
How the school overachieved to reach the final four in the national championships, which wildly exceeded their past achievements.
If you still think Suni is not recognized enough, who are you using as a comparison? ❤
@@gymlandia4467Why do you think people only like gymnasts based on whether the skin color of the gymnast matches the skin color of the person watching? This sounds like an extremely narrow and immature perspective.
Difficulty of skills, execution, style are all irrelevant?
My reply to the OP talks about Suni's popularity, which it seems both of you have missed out on.
But it's not too late to catch up. ❤
@@dronesclubhighjinks again most Americans don’t know who suni lee unlike gabby & Simone who are globally known celebrities. So again gtfo out my face with that Declaration of Independence long response.
Noooo... you called Joscelyn Roberson the Dollar Tree Jade 💀💀🤣🤣
😂😂😂 Which is straight up facts. I'm still upset they took her to Worlds over Jade and also aren't thrilled to see her in top 10 here.
It's great that she had the opportunity to compete at worlds. This year, she needs to clean up her double twisting layout form on floor and vault.
Werq!
@@jewelsnjoyI don't wanna see Josc period. She can impress me with the difficulty but her form on beam and bars is seriously atrocious, even by USA standards. Her vault is so weird for some reason, and I do like her floor routine to be fair. It's very entertaining

This was so fabulous!! Thank you. I will comment more later, I have to get back to work.
I’m SO EXCITED for Shilese!! I pray she’s healthy for Paris!! No injuries please, Queen!! Suni won’t beat her in the 2 per country. I doubt Suni will even be on the team if I’m being honest.
Considering her health, I think Suni might actually be more focused on getting her new skill named than on making it back to the Olympics.

Present 😎. SUBSCRIBED to Gympinions ❤️💃🏽.
LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Simone is always #1 and GOAT. Shilese has a lot of potential on floor, bars and beam. Both of them are nearly locked.
Jade is going to Jade her way out on floor, which will help her score 14 to mid 14. If she ditches L hop 1/1 & switch 1/1, her score will rise.
If Gabby does a 6.4D bars and her execution is like what she showed in the training video, she will go 15+ on bars. Her beam will go 14 to mid 14 without rings.
The 5th spot is wild open.
Jade did a Switch 1/2 and a Popa in her most recent NCAA routine, and those are two C elements right there that are a better fit for her. The only benefit of aiming for a switch 1/1 is that she's probably also gonna get a 0.1 precision deduction for the switch 1/2, so she might as well attempt the D skill over the C one.
@@asharadayne6159 Yes, I love Jade's NCAA dance elements! What worries me for her switch 1/1 is the locked 0.3 shape. Her switch 1/2 on floor is pretty good, maybe 0-0.1 shape. That precision deduction can be avoided sometimes.
Gabby is not going 15+ every time on a 6.4D. Getting a 8.6 consistently is not easy.
Gabby is 100% bringing rings on beam, she needs it to pad the difficulty. I think she's doing the switch ring alone and then trying to do the switch leap mount + switch 1/2 leap + ring jump.
@@ansonpang A 15 is based on the assumption that she has the same execution in their training video. Her bars composition doesn't have many build in errors.
Idk. I don't think she needs her ring right?
Switch leap mount + switch 1/2 + back tuck
Back tuck 1/1
BHS LOSO
front aerial + split + straddle
full turn
BHSO + BHS + Double Pike
That's 6.1
@@ansonpangShilese consistently got an 8.4-8.5 in Antwerp. Qiu Qiyuan got 4 8.4s. Gabby has fewer built in deductions, so I think that she could do it.
Perfectly entertaining analysis! Lmao so frequently😂❤
Duuuuude..... How am i just now finding this channel??? This is now my favorite gymnastics channel. THANK YOU. Fully agreed with everything you said
Fantastic video!
2012 to me was the GOAT of all the teams!
2012 is good, but 2016 is better. 2016 is seriously unbeatable.
Yeah Russia could’ve beaten USA without gabby. Yet USA could’ve lost Simone and easily won.
@@SquirtlePower809 I thought the same until I realized the entire 2012 team had Amanars.
@@skinbyjj 2016 was way better on the other 3 teams
@@skinbyjjto be fair, Russia was a lot weaker in 2016. Aly, Gabby, Simone, and Laurie could seriously be top 4 in All Around quals. They were way stronger on bars, and also floor. Melnikova was falling on all her wolf turns. Mustafina was weaker on floor.
People constantly underestimate Jade. Like, the woman was top 8 in the AA at the freaking Olympics! And a World vault of champion on top of that Olympic Gold on floor! Plus, let's not forget she does have that one international beam medal.😂😂😂
She won the Paris World Cup wouldn’t count that 😂. But definitely the AA & VT/FX good on bars
Right and this was WITH the Russians
Langston what you said about Suni’s media attention vs Gabby and Simone is so true
Gabby hasn’t even competed yet .. yet people are up in arms about her having to withdraw from winter cup or her not being able to attend at the April camp .
Her name is making a lot of noise compared to Suni who did compete, and was invited to the April camp but declined.
Yeah that’s because Suni is so boring. She makes me fall asleep. She gives no substance.
FOFOCA, Rebeca está treinando um salto novo, as garotas estavam em um dia de entrevista, Rebeca estava treinando salto e o treinamento dela disse que ninguém poderia filmar o treino dela por que é um salto novo, ansioso para Paris
Its so exciting to see Biles set a standard and everyone rising there and to have her need to fight for her medals makes this sooo great I’m conflicted because i so want to see Rebecca dominate but I also want Simone to hold on to Gold
Facts
How am I just now finding this channel??? These rankings are perfect! Dollar tree Jade tho 🤣🤣
“Dollar Tree Jade.” 😂😂😂😂 you are hilarious! I love this channel. 😂😂😂
Watching this channel through the olympic season is going to be ittttttttttt. 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
I don't think Simone is thaaat vulnerable. If she ignores the press and just focuses, she can still maintain her 1-2 point comfy lead. This list is thorough and well researched, and the clips are great!
Rebeca’s best scores from Antwerp beat Simone. Simone is definitely the favorite but she can’t get comfortable.
Simone had a 2 point lead over 2021 Rebeca over Tokyo, but Rebeca has progressed a lot on floor, beam, and her bars have the critical acclaim now, so 2024 Rebeca is a lot more dangerous whereas Simone has upgraded not that much so the gap is closing
Rebe is hella inconsistent tho. If Rebe puts it all together she can challenge Simone but that’s if. Rebe has never hit 4 routines at one time before.
@@gymlandia4467 Rebeca’s best scores WOULD NOT beat Simone. They would’ve beaten her AA final score, but Simone’s best scores would still beat that
@@marsbars2889 that’s the point ik she can’t beat Simone’s best yet Simone’s never been in the situation in years. So again you know exactly wtf I’m saying
Here is the thing about Martha Karolyi. Two things can be true at the same time. Martha was very efficient at selecting Olympic Teams but she also fostered a nasty culture of deception, fear and unspeakable drama. Alicia, Chellsie and Dan have a very tough decision to make with their first Olympic Team Selection and also reversing the damage done that almost destroyed USA Gymnastics 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Girl you are so funny ! Love these videos! More pls
great power rankings Langston. I love this for Shilese. so awesome for her that she was just left off as an *alternate* last quad and this quad she's (barring injury) a lock. I also agree about Jade. she's such a jock, one of my faves, and I expect her to bring it. her vaults are easily the best in the US behind Simone, and she's the only one to have beaten Simone in YEARS on vault without a fall. also, her bars and beam are actually decent and very dependable. she's just an ATHLETE. I think the team should be: Simone, Shilese, Jade, Gabby, & Leanne or Kayla, depending on who looks better bc Kayla's stock is rising after pan ams and winter cup even tho I know you hate her bent-knees gymanstics LOL. if she's high in the AA rankings in the lead up or places top 3 AA at trials (which feels possible if leanne has mistakes) I think she's get it.
The 3rd AA spot at Trials is so wide open it's ridiculous, I think it's between Leanne, Gabby, Skye, Kayla, Jordan and maybe Suni
@@ansonpang right? it could go so many different ways. it will also be super interesting to see if gabby goes more for the bars and beam angle, which would make Kayla a much stronger candidate. but if gabby is getting that AA spot, I'd probably gamble and take skye or maybe even suni to try snag another individual medal
LOL you are DELUSIONAL if you seriously think Gabby is making the Olympic team!
@@carrietremble why? she did it once before, and she looks to be in incredible shape and physique from the videos we've seen. if she's on her game I think she's a top prospect
The queen of Caucasia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
🤣😭⚰️
I just laughed so hard with the "it's my MF....." love that! However Simone is only throwing basic skills and has about 2.0 or more point that she will be competing in Paris - again she won't have as large as a lead but it will be higher than at worlds.
Langston, you’ve got us all thinking like Romanians now.
TY for keeping it REAL!!! 💪
Love the Paris footage in the beginning. Honestly, your top 5 is my team. Hoping Leanne and Jade come back strong at Classics, and if Gabby can pull a strong AA together(which I know she can) she will be on the team.
Omg your takes are so good! It's so extremely objective and I agree with most of your ranking. Your top 3 are so clearly locks to me if they hit their potential. I love that you're acknowledged that Simone, Shilese are very likely making the team but that need to be weary of potential pitfalls at Paris, I did not think beforehand that Shi can have a Jordyn Wieber moment and now I'm scared... Shi really needs to upgrade her bars if she wants a medal though, Kaylia and Qiu ain't playing around, and you have Alice D'Amato, Melanie and Becky trying to get 6.6 routines (although all are inconsistent), and the second Chinese who competes on bars will also not be playing around, maybe it will be Huang Zhuofan.
I completely respect you put Gabby at #4, but we really have no idea what her competitive shape is like in terms of consistency. I want to put her at #3-4 as well if she's top 5 AA at Nationals, Trials. Her potential is so high and she can be such a huge contributor to USA, but we really don't know if she's consistent or whether her scores hold up, I don't know whether she meets the artistry check boxes. I can't bet on Texas (yas Beyonce album drop), because I gotta see the routines and not base my predictions on my assumptions. Her missing out on Winter Cup is so sad. The Olympics are like 4 months away and we haven't seen any routines yet! So ridiculous she wasn't asked to camp. I will put her above Suni at #6 after Jordan.
Leanne is the biggest question mark for me. I don't know whether she will have the difficulty or upgrades in time, although she is competing the switch leap mount and double wolf right now at NCAA so I guess those are beam upgrades we'll see in elite. I wanna see her go all out on floor (like 2021 difficulty) and beam (like start doing Front Aerial + Ring Jump, and Side Aerial + LOSO again, like she needs to connect stuff). Her bars are whatever, it won't be a team final routine but a good backup, and her DTY is consistently clean.
Jordan is another question mark - the potential is there, but I don't know what difficulty she's bringing. Her floor construction is extremely key, scoring 14.1-14.4s will be amazing for her. I am still not sure if she should do 3 or 4 tumbling passes because her dance skills are all C-rated, and I don't think she should go for the triple wolf and stick to the double. She needs to take out the L hop asap, same as Jade Carey. Likewise to your video, my question is where are the promised vault upgrades? Same with Skye's Cheng. I am also scared because Josc and Jess upgraded to the Cheng and got injured last year.
I think you're sleeping on Kayla Dicello lol, her beam is definitely overscored but I think her floor has upgrade potential (she's practicing the double layout and Chuso and that might bring her floor difficulty to 6.2), and her beam will hold her back but she's consistent af and I see her scoring 56s+ at both Nationals and Trials. With only 5 gymnasts breaking the 56 barrier at 2023 Worlds, I trust her to hit... for now. The upgrades might be too much for her. She might take Leanne's/Jordan's spot and I won't be surprised. I will put her above Skye and below Gabby at #7.
I don't want to see Joscelyn and Trinity at Paris, I'm sorry. They don't have the X factor. I really want to see Skye, but her falls are concerning and I don't want her to cost the team gold. I will still put her on Worlds teams in 2025-2027 to allow her to refresh and get a second wind, just like how Jordan, Leanne, and Shilese is succeeding this quad. If she can figure out floor and upgrade vault, she can be an AA medal contender next quad. I really don't know what the hell Konnor is doing right now, and I agree with your take on Kaliya.
I agree and hear everything you’re saying this mainly mixing potential and what we’ve seen. We haven’t seen anything from Jade, Gabby, Leanne, or Jordan. Haven’t from Simone & Shilese since worlds either. Yet still gabby is capable and helps the team more than Leanne & Jordan. But I will drop her below them if she gives Suni Lee vibes.
And those routines sucked for the most part and had no medal potential. Gabby’s bars has great construction and though we haven’t seen full routines which I mentioned but you wanna sit up here and act stupid asf.
@@gymlandia4467oohh I'm peeping the 3k views in 24 hours! Congrats! You should do a power ranking of all the AA contenders for Paris, or teams worlds ranking but that's hella analysis :) Or even event finalists rankings, like uneven bars 1. Kaylia, 2. Qiu, etc. vault 1. Simone 2. Rebe, etc. Another series idea!
@@leykimayriI share the same sentiment with you, but I have faith. Gabby is someone who won't announce a comeback unless she's confident she's going to be at least a strong contender, especially after the backlash she got at Rio. She does not want that negative media attention again. She doesn't fuck around
@@ansonpang Qiu is definitely ahead of Kaylia considering how she’s been scored and the defending world champion & the judges not fucking with kaylia in Paris. Yet you gave me a good idea.
Your analysis is spot tf on and im here for the commentary.
Konnor is the dark horse on God!!!
Is Konnor training Elite at All??!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@trinibwoy27I think she has been. She's been resting a lot for LSU and just announced that she's trying to make the Olympic team so I would think she's probably been training elite?

You got me weak on that Skye Blakely "I keep on Falling" bit!!! But, you aint neva lied
Mr Biles 🤣🤣🤣. Loving your commentary 👍🏽❤
Langston, I am sure you are heated with the news that Gaby wasn't invited to the selection camp. These MFs released the criteria just on Monday. These so-called criteria should have been well known before the season started so the gymnasts know what to expect and work on. I feel this is a conspiracy against Gabby because she has done interviews where she stated her interest numerous times in relying on camp and making some international assignments. I am crying FOUL by the USAGym. They will not succeed. Gaby shall rise and show this MFs what's what.
@@leykimayri You really need to get your head out of the clouds if you think there's no conspiracy. Bye
I don’t always agree with your takes, but this time we are in total agreement. Dollar tree Jade had me howling 😂😂😂
Rooting for Jordan, Jade and Gabby. (To join Shilese & Simone). I’d like Jordan with a Cheng & Amanar 😏 That’d be kinda cool…
I think this is my dream team too. If not Gabby, then I'd go with Leeann
I agree on a lot of what you are saying, however, Simone Biles watered down her bars, beam, and floor routines for the 2023 competitions. If she does her highest difficulty, she will clear everyone. And she was robbed on execution value at the 2023 world beam finals, 8.3 was just too damn low. If her execution score was 8.9-9.5 like it should have been, she would have cleared like always. Again, with a watered down routine.
I judged her & gave her 8.5. I think they were strict but that same argument could’ve been made for Zhou who got a 8.2. My point is she can’t just stand still & hope for the best
@@gymlandia4467agree completely. I am dying to see what she upgrades she puts in her routine. If Simone throws Biles 2 on floor, Silivas, and the upgrades she’s shown on social media for bars, she’s going to win big
“Queen of Caucasia.”
I definitely think one spot is going to be a battle between Jade and Joscelyn. I think USA could get through with Simone's Vault and two clean DTY but having a Solid Cheng is invaluable
It will be, especially to beat Brazil on vault. Jade can guarantee a second Cheng. She is competing with Joscelyn, and I would bet on her over Joscelyn as of now.
Jade at her worst is better than josc at her best. They would be absolutely stupid to take josc over Jade.
One has an Olympic gold medal and is rising. My money’s on Jade.
NOTHING BUT FACTS FACTS FACTS. 1. Simone: you are right she has never been this close to getting beaten before this is not like old times where she had four points ahead of everyone else. Shi and rebe can beat her with a mistake so the pressure is on for Simone. She has never been in this position. 2. Shilese: All the praise goes to her!!! The life that you are speaking into her is amazing but she has to turn tf up. She hasn’t be in a situation where anyone was challenging her from the US until now. We all want her to have the best games. She can make AA, UB, and even Balance beam and fx finals. We love Shilese! 3. “The queen of caucasians”🤣 “I know Joscelyn scared”🤣 Jade peaks internationally and stands on fucking business and medals
I have to say I will rank gabby high off of potential but I wouldn’t bet on her beating shilese bc we haven’t seen full routines yet. I really have to wait to classics to see how high I rank gabby. I’m not doubting her at all bc if gabby is coming she is coming to make this team!
Thank you for giving Skye her props no one else besides Simone can fall on beam and give a usable score. Also we ain’t gone down a black woman too much now. Give her that grace like they give their favorite Becky’s. Not saying you have to be delusional but don’t be so hard on her. I’m banking on Skye being top 3 AA, BB and top 4 on vt and UB. I wouldn’t rank Konnor above Kayla D. We haven’t seen Konnor do full elite routines or seen her since 2022. And you say you are not delusional, but if Konnor didn’t win nationals she wouldn’t even be as much as a factor. Not downing her but we basing everything off of 2022. We need to see her compete everything else. How dare you say Kaliya Lincoln fx will score the same as Josc R bffr. Josc fx all of last year averaged 0.5 least then Kaliya Lincoln domestically and internationally.

Jade!😂 she is fierce and NCAA has really helped her AA. Im excited to see what she does this year. Im also really imprssed with the difficulty Kayla DiCello has added. I know she's a lo g shot but she is beautiful gymnastics.
I rlly wanted to see the past 3 Olympic AA champs to be on a team (Gabby, Simone, Suni) it would be iconic I fear… so hopefully Suni can make a comeback, def rooting for Gabby comeback and prove haters wrong, I will never forget the hate she got back in 2016 🤦🏽
J. Chiles is reminding me of Morgan Hurd last quad around this time. Hopefully that’s not the case as she makes more sense than Leanne (especially after worlds) in terms of her potential on all 4 events. If Chiles can come back from injury and perform like she did this time last quad she’ll be on the Team over Leanne. Haven’t heard of any upgrades from Wong so we will see. Sunisa Lee is going to need to hit from this point forward to make a case for herself as a 2-event(?) gymnast. Clearly A Sac + Memmel are rewarding consistency so they are all going to have to prove themselves. But I agree that they should be picking teams in terms of medals. They are really hoping for Joselyn Robertson and Kayla DiCello. If either of them make the team they will be used as the scapegoat for the Olympic judges to absolutely tear Team USA up wherever they can. This team could look so many different ways as there is so much unknowns right now. But I seriously love how you made this a Power Ranking List like NFL. This is exactly what we needed going into Classics ❤
In a perfect world my ideal team would be : Simone, Shilese, Gabby, Jade, Suni 🤍
But I do think that if Suni can’t pull thru they will replace her with Skye and use Simone on Uneven Bars 💙

Are there any gymnasts this Olympic Cycle do you think will hold on for the 2028 LA Olympic Quad? 🤔🤔🤔
I think the gymnasts lower down the Power Ranking list - Joscelyn, Kaliya and etc. - could stick around for LA 2028 because they don’t seem to be top contenders as of now but still have the potential to be the best in the future. I could also see Shilese going for LA, Skye and dare I say even Gabby depending on how this year goes for her, but time will tell.
Gabby's form on bars is through the roof !! ❤
By Championships, I feel like the rankings will become even more clear. They need to come with the upgrades and the consistency cause it is OLYMPIC YEAR! It’s time to show out or go home! I like how you also highlight their cons, I feel like they’re not going to take anyone who does not have at least 3 great events. Ain’t no room for a 1 or 2 event specialist!
That’s not smart when it comes to winning medals tho

As far as shilese once again u read my mind because while team wise she can def help if suni n gabby come wit a 6.7 + UB d score or even just a higher execution score shi is out which sucks. i honestly dont care tho im jus glad to have seen her come this far after seein her at us champs in 2018 n so own very proud of her (if she upgrades ESPECIALLY ON BEAM OF FLOOR she can def stay out of the 2 per country lane but we’ll see) JADE CAREY honestly has the second best chance of makin the team imo simply off of USA’s need for a floor n vault specialist n who better than jade carey, she already looks healthy n happier with that beautiful chuso at NCAA im very excited if she turns up she got the spot 🤷🏾 Joycelyn being hyped when she debuted was understandable but she aint got nun on jade on floor im sorry😔
Jade just needs to ditch these L hop 1/1 and switch 1/1, adds her Olympic tumbling, she's going to put up a big score. Her dad said she's gonna add a new pass.
Gabby needs inbar for 6.7D on bars. Does Gabby have an inbar though? Her 6.4D bars will go 15+.
Shilese is making the team even if she's 3rd on bars, I see her making top 3 AA 100% and has a super reliable beam, DTY vault and a great backup floor routine. She's a way better AA gymnast than Jordan, Leanne, Kayla, Jade, and dare I say Suni and Gabby (right now).
Shilese is better than Jordan & Leanne but not by a landslide. Jordan & Leanne’s best are like half a point behind her I’d say.
omg I loved the gabby, shilese, leanne, jordan, and kayla dicello parts
Why those specific ones only?
@@gymlandia4467 not only those ones, those were just the ones I laughed at the most and the ones I agree with you the most about 🫶🏻
They been showing a new tumbling pass gabby is working on and it looks hot af! I can’t wait until may for debut.
Kaliya just need some time but watch out for her!! She has Olympic and world champion potential!!!!
She really does, her floor is divine, but she needs high scores on at least one other apparatus to help make up the highest scoring team.
@@duranca I should have clarified that I meant after this Olympic games. 2025-2028 is her time to me!!!
I really hope she stays around for the next quad. She is so lovely on floor.
@@duranca She's only 17. (She'll be 18 at the end of April.) I think that she'll stick around.
Yeah, Joscelyn’s young, so I could see her doing really well and improving next quad. But I don’t have her a top contender right now because her execution isn’t there yet.
Agree on Kayla too. She could make the team if Leanne and Jordan aren’t ready, but she’s very much behind them if we’re comparing those three at the best.
For Kaliya, I see her as someone to watch out for next quad, especially on floor. And she’s got potential on vault and beam. She needs someone to give her a better bars set too.
I don’t think Kayla is behind Leanne at her best anymore, Leanne just really doesn’t have the difficulty on bars/beam these days. And Leanne used to be better at floor in 2021 but these days Leanne got what 13.3 at Worlds while Kayla got 13.733 at Pan Ams and just upgraded from there as well.
Jordan on the other hand is probably ahead of Kayla at her best especially on vault/floor.
Pan am is joke scoring like he so fr. Kayla is inferior to Jordan and Leanne on every event with hella built in errors.
@@gymlandia4467yeah, Jordan and Leanne have fewer built-in deductions .
@@gymlandia4467 Pan Ams scoring last year was pretty comparable to Worlds, don't be surprised if Kayla clears Leanne this year because even if Leanne has the natural talent and the execution, she just doesn't have the elite-level difficulty right now when training at University of Florida.
Kayla tied a pretty good performance from Flavia at Pan Ams who was way ahead of Leanne at Worlds ergo Kayla is stronger on floor right now than Leanne. Leanne hasn't been at her best on floor since 2021.
As for Kayla vs. Jordan, Kayla is definitely better on beam and Jordan definitely on vault. Bars I'm not sure, Jordan has great ability on bars but doesn't have a great routine composition which is why she's maxing out around 14.1. Floor she SHOULD be ahead of Kayla by a lot at her best but also had some weird skill choices in 2023 - her 2022 composition was much more suitable for her.
Plus for the selection it's all going to be based on domestic scores anyways which are going to be even more favorable to overlooking Kayla's built in errors.
@@Plaspos pan ams scoring wasn’t comparable excluding vault. Bars, Beam, and Floor were hella lenient so that’s not true. Yet that’s assuming Leanne has the same routines from last year. I don’t think Kayla has a better DTY than Leanne. Leanne also didn’t do nowhere near her best in 2023 at worlds.
The Dollar Tree Jade is crazy 💀
Is she not tho
Simone is going to really have to go all out for gold this time
China with a 7.0 on beam
Rebe with a bilesl / amanar she can go 15.5 to 15.7 on bilesl and 15 to 15.2 amanar with her execution an landings
biles will go 15.4 to 15.5 YDP with coach and built in deductions and cheng 14.7 to 15.1
@jonnypear2036 Yes, but Chinese ladies have a tendency to make mistakes on beam. Which sucks because they are so great on beam.
Zhou rarely ever makes huge mistakes. She’s yet to fall on BB in a major competition. So the other ones yes but not Zhou.
@@gymlandia4467 yeah, Simone can't bet on Zhou falling if she wants beam gold.
Gabby just doesn't get an invitation to the April national team. USAG WTF?
Yeah I saw they had some audacity but taking girls like Lexi Zeiss and Katelyn Jong who are unrealistic contenders 🙄
Is she not going to be at April camp?!
Bruh I’m pissed how much longer will we have to wait to see her compete smh
So it's unlikely she'll get any international assignments before Tokyo. Based on Memmel's comments, Gabby is or has been ill.
@@HazelAmarie It's worse. Gabby asked to GO TO CAMP but DECLINED. It's giving 2019 Mai Murakami left out from the Japanese team due to stupid criteria.
I am cheering quite loudly for Simone, Shilese, Jade, Sunisa Lee and either Jordan or Konnor. Leanne and Kayla as the traveling reserves and Kaliya Lincoln and Trinity Thomas as the non-traveling reserves. I can’t wait to see these incredible athletes at championships and this trials is going to be SUPER competitive!
Why aren’t you cheating for Gabby 😬🙄
@@leykimayri ok you can’t take a break 🙃. Y’all ain’t seen Chelsie in forever and was rooting for her so please.
@@leykimayri gtfo out my comments
i dont see leanne making the team without big upgrades
I mentioned she’s need upgrades. Yet so does Jordan & Suni. Kayla has a 6.1 on UB, 5.7 on FX, & a 6.0 max on BB that will likely be like a 5.6 internationally. So rn her competition is Jordan & Kayla. Jordan being on her ass and having breathing room over Kayla
@gymlandia4467 I feel like if jordan went back to her 2022 form with vault upgrades, she would have the edge over Leanne
It would be close. Yet we’re factoring top potential they’re extremely close with Leanne being more consistent internationally which I mentioned
17:25 I thought the Queen of bent knees was Aly Raisman
There can’t be two queens 👀😂
@@gymlandia4467 can we make it Aly since she’s older and became the queen first? Lol
@@kitkatabolic2344 Aly can atleast be the queen of the worst feet. She has no rivals for that.
@@rolandgreen7484 wdym by worst feet? I am not disagreeing but I’m not sure what you mean
@@kitkatabolic2344 She has disgustingly bad feet on all her skills, even her jumps.
I swear if they choose dollar tree Jade over actual Jade I will revolt!
You and me both. Lead the way
20:08 I think Shawn Johnson is way more popular than Suni. Even to this day. Unless you were talking about gymnast currently competing.
Shawn’s cringy as fuckkkk but she’s more interesting than Suni
Amongst white Americans but not amongst all Americans
@@gymlandia4467 would you say Shawn is more popular than Suni?
@@akiteriyaki1369 yeah overall but I wouldn’t say she’s popular to the average American. Outside of gabby & Simone yeah.
@@gymlandia4467 agreed
I really want to see Gabby make it, but have we even seen a full set set yet though?
We actually did have you seen that from suni is the real question.
@@gymlandia4467 Oh I actually have faith Gabby can. Suni not so much...
What a pottymouth this commentator has .... but she is a smart cookie, nevertheless 😮😅😢😅
Gabby is more of a, "it would be a great story" type of deal if she makes the Olympics. Konnor... she has the potential, but she seems like she needs someone to constantly whisper positive affirmations in her ear. I think she can destroy herself mentally. As for everyone else, it's going to be truly interesting.
And I LOVE Leanne Wong ! You go, Leanne !!
If Simone Biles makes the Olympic team she will be the oldest American Gymnast ever to compete in the Olympics age 27 while for example if Oksana Chusovitina makes the Uzbek team it will be her 9th Olympics competing in her first 2 before Simone was born Barcelona in 1992 for the Unified Team and Atlanta 1996 for Uzbekistan and she will be 49 at this years Olympics in Paris
No Gabby Douglas would be the oldest if she makes the Olympics she’s 28
To be fair Simone only had like 5 months of training. I think she can add a lot of difficulty on floor and bars, and I think the second Laurent gets off the podium she’ll be unbeatable vault again.
Also I think Kaliya could beat Jade on floor tbh
Yes, and she had two weddings, a few bachelorettes, a couple of honeymoons and attending to the building of her new home all within months of WC. There was clearly a great deal of time time off from training. Not quite sure how much training she is doing these days.
She still wouldn’t be able to win if Rebe & Jade have an Amanar as well. Maybe but it will be close so regardless she probably won’t be unbeatable she has the advantage yet that’s not the point. Kaliya as of now isn’t close to Jade on her peak. Even if so she doesn’t have a great Cheng & potential Amanar.
Who do you think Martha would have picked in 2020 for the team ?
Marta would have picked Simone, Suni, Jordan, and would have told Jade: "To hell with your nominative spot, we need you on the team, we will just have to su-k up the loss of your nominative spot. I care about quality not quantity" As for that 2nd nominative spot, I don't know who Marta would have assigned it to, maybe Kara Eaker? Or perhaps she would have given it to MyKayla Skinner as the consolation prize that it was (but in the end, M.S. did bring home silver even though just by chance). Who do you think Marta would have picked?
@@duranca Jade would have been a great addition. At least they can have a comfortable lead after the vault rotation. Jade could score 14 in Tokyo on bars. It's a fatal mistake for team USA to ignore international assignments and trust widely inaccurate domestic scores.
@@cocoroni1031 Yes, Jade would have made all the difference. I believe she was seriously thinking about forfeiting her nominative spot so that she could try for the team, but then she got so much media backlash for it, because that meant that a spot would be lost and one less gymnast would be able to go to the Olympics. Do you remember that? I think it began with a story by a sports writer for USA Today. Anyway, thanks for replying to my comment. I see your comments on a lot of these videos but we've never interacted.
Marta would’ve taken Morgan Hurd probably. Morgan definitely would’ve made it to 2019 worlds. Marta wasn’t finna take skinner nowhere
@@gymlandia4467 That would've been sweet. I just forgot about Morgan b/c she wasn't at trials (if I'm correct). I think Tom Forster sort of ignored her leading up to Olympics.
Fortunately/Unfortunately This Olympic Tram will be made up primarily of Veterans/Young Women who have been doing Gymnastics for a long time. I don't see any of the First Year Seniors making enough of an impact to make the team like Hezly Rivera, Simone Rose, Jayla Hang, Reese Esponda. Maybe two of them will be invited to Olympic Trials to get them some much needed experience but that's as far as i see it going
Obviously this is a month ago before Core
The way women emasculate men is weird to me. Not Mr. Biles. Nice list accurate for explaining how teams are constructed. But we know Shilese has stepped up solidified #2 spot
He emasculated himself love 😂 and I’m returning up
Also JADE IS THE QUEEN 👑 my all time favorite gymnast of all time. People keep sleeping on Jade. She's still a beast.
USA will have the top three allrounders 4th spot to vt n floor jade
Suni’s beam is gonna eat this szn. She could have a 7.1 d score
As I mentioned suni has only competed 4 beam routines and fell on 2 of them. It’s very unlikely that she has a consistent 7.1 BB routine
That’s true but she barely had any training time last season. She’s been training more consistently. I think the nerves just got to her at winter cup but she is gonna be more solid in meets to come.
@@user-dv7vr5jl4xwe have no proof that she will I said she has a great chance yet I wouldn’t bet on that
Rebeca Andrade is training ANOTHER vault for the Olympics.
I wonder if she is pushing to train a new vault, or Team Brazil?
@@Carsondaily324don’t wish that on her 🙄
@@gabe6851yeah they do need conserve rebe’s body
@@gabe6851 in a report with sponsors, Francisco, Rebeca's coach, approaches the camera and says that she is training an unprecedented vault
@@tix5094omg what does that mean? There's only 4 vault entries right? Yuchenko, Yuchenko half on, Tusk, and Front Handspring...
Is gabby liked by higher ups ? I hope she makes it…I hope her and Simone have a good relationship
WE WANT BIG LEANNE!! 😤😤
“She need hit dat mf power ball from super smash bros and unlock her super powers”.
@@gymlandia4467 FR!! We wanna see that Cheng vault she’s been hinting at. We wanna see them beam/bar upgrades. We want you to slay these hoes with your swan lake floor choreo 🗣️🗣️🗣️
simone hits she wins the all around. She won by about 1.5 i think antwerp so she has room. I think however her most guaranteed medal is floor. She hits she wins. No one is anywhere neer a 6.7 in D score. However on vault she has competition and on beam.
She only won FX by 1 tenth. I said she was the favorite for sure. Yet Rebeca’s best scores would’ve beaten Simone in AA. Obviously Simone’s best beats Rebe by a comfortable margin. Yet that’s not the point
@@aliciamcdonald7105 never in the AA but her best scores in Antwerp beat Simone obviously Simone’s beats hers but you get the point.
Eu acho que kaylia irar no lugar de Jordan
Somewhere out there is a recent video with Gabby training a double layout on floor onto a solid floor, not into a pit.
-Never count out Hezly Riviera.
Simone has not shown her full potential on any event after coming back other than vault. She was mainly training the double pike. She was not planing two vaults at the start of her come back. The girl fell on vault and Rebecca didn't beat her by much which says alot. I don't think Simone has anything to worry about.... Shi has nothing to prove.. all she needs to do is stay healthy and consistent she's on the team without a dought.
Ok my point is she needs to upgrade. Rebe also went OB on her Cheng & only competed a DTY. So let’s not act like she can’t upgrade as well. I believe Shi will easily make the team yet we thought the same thing for Morgan Hurd & Jade Carey in the past & that wasn’t the case. Shilese wants medals in Paris not just to make the team
But Shi can be 2pc out of AA or bars final (by Gabby/Suni/Simone whoever makes the team) so she still needs to be aware of her progress. As Langston said, she can have a Jordyn Wieber 2012 experience despite seeing a lot of potential in 2011. She wants a bars medal and Alice d'amato, Becky downie, and melanie are all going for 6.6D routines, although they are all inconsistent af
@@ansonpang Listy as well. I think Nina is Her biggest challenge outside of the Americans for a medal on bars. I think with a 6.6 D score and better dismount she can be hella competitive on UB beat Kaylia.
@@gymlandia4467I understand your point. But girl, realistically Simone always upgrades ,she's proven that. I'm more concerned about the other girls. I don't believe Shi will get two per countried out in in bars. I'm rooting for her to make the all around. Floor and beam are going to be tough I believe though although I enjoy both from Shi.
Maybe a 6.9 d score on bars?
As I mentioned as well the code really fucks with her it would be very difficult for her to even have a 6.5 let alone a 6.9.
@@gymlandia4467Potential Routine for suni:
“Lee” + pak (+?) Seitz + bhardwaj + Maloney + geinger
Toe on full + full in
H/G + D + E + E + D + D (Assuming She can connect the pak and and seitz) cv = 0.8

Leanne = The CEO
if only Skye borrowed her bows for the beam final...
😩🙃
Please take into consideration you're basing Simones Paris routines off of her *getting her feet wet again* past few meet routines, watered down to the max for Simone. She plans on bringing it much bigger and louder than she ever has. Simone is coming to win and i have no doubt she will. 4 finals. 3-4 gold and a possible bronze. Shilese is close behind now but again , watered down Simone and beast mode simone are not the same !
All we’re talking about is rn. I said she has to improve which is true & I gave fair critique to everyone
@@leykimayriHe’s spoken on how we haven’t seen much from Gabby but realistically speaking if she shows up and can perform to her 2016 standards she has potential to make the team + what we’ve seen so far in training.
Why would he be talking about Simone from 2016 when Simone has been competing? His points were fair .. Simone is still a dominant gymnast but she can’t get comfortable that was all he said.
Funny how you try twisting his words so you can compare Gabby and Simone again 🥱
Well, that was the best he could do considering Gabby hasn’t competed since 2016. We’ve haven’t seen much from her this year, yes, but we dare not underestimate Gabby. Few expected her to be one of the best gymnast in 2012, yet she became the Olympic all-around champion in London. She was doubted her in her comeback, yet she made the Olympic team to Rio in 2016. She’s shown us time and time again that she is far better than we give her credit for. And not to compare any gymnasts, but if you actually think about it, Gabby does have a better chance than most of the current top American gymnasts at making the Olympic team to Paris, which is why she was #4 on his power ranking.
@@calvinl382 Well put Calvin!!!!
Simone’s 2016 FX routine wouldn’t even meet the current requirements. Her VT would give her a very narrow advantage over Rebe & Jade as I mentioned. Her BB wouldn’t be close to beating Zhou from 2016 & she’s improved dramatically on UB since 2016. Rebe’s best scores from worlds beat Simone’s AA score. Obviously it’s unlikely Rebe goes all out but the point is she’s not unbeatable and the math points to that.
idk i think kayla should be higher
I’m skeptical about Gabby. She has not got any recent competition time under her belt. And I think Kayla DiCello has mastered the mindset and consistency and will be on the team.
Even with her consistency she lacks raw talent and a stand out event. Are you also skeptical about suni
Im sorry but simone hasnt comepeted her difficulty which she is still capable of she did enough just to win
My point is she needs improvements to win in Paris comfortably without worries 😬. Like do y’all not hear wtf I be saying
@@gymlandia4467that’s not really what you said in the video tho but i get what youre saying. if she comes out with her best routines then she’s clearing everyone comfortably but she actually needs to do that or else it’ll be close
@@ot12stan61 it’s exactly wtf I said you just don’t wanna hear it & it won’t be close she can potentially loose as we saw last year.
She isn't 17 anymore
I fucking love u
Don’t know about Gabby
The Skye Blakey read 😭
I bet Skye will be dominating in the next year/s to come if she sticks with elite gymnastics. Like Langston said in another video “they may peak later” something along those lines. I think it’s a maturity issue for Skye. She has the talent and skills for sure.
It is difficult for me to comprehend what you are saying when you speak so fast, limited pronounciation of words and all the cursing just simply turns me off!!
Then don’t watch 🤍. It’s called AAVE my native dialect.
