Skye missing a real chance of Oly dream this year is brutal…
I'm still not over it. My heart is broken.
Bruuuutal
So brutal. 😢
@@SquirtlePower809sammmmme
Praying peace over Skye Blakely. Sending her healing vibes. I wanted this for her.
After seeing Jade's Amanar, I can totally understand why it could be her 1st vault for Qualification and Team Final.
First Connor now Skye, I’m so sad rn. Hoping for their speedy recovery
Devastated for skye. Just to be clear, Suni does a giant full instead of toe full because she cannot do another skill with a toe-on root because she already has three (Nabs, VL, Maloney). Loved this analysis :)
This blows me. I had her making the team too. I pray she recovers ASAP
Don't get blown 😢
Spencer, you're looking great! Thank you so much for gracing all of us with your amazing comedic(?), tragic(?) analysis! love u both! Thanks for all you do!
Gymnastics is such a brutal and unfair sport. The smallest mistake, despite years of the hardest work imaginable, and it's over in a split second.
And it's not only that but, realistically, you only get ONE chance ---- outside of the 0.000001% exceptional human beings like Simons, Oksana, Daniele Hypolito, Vannessa Ferrari, Olga Tass et al ---- for 99.9999% of women and for 99.99% of men, because it happens only once in 4 years.
An average person's chances of winning the Lottery literally is statistically better than a man or woman getting into the Olympics AND becoming an ALL Medalist (like Simone, Suni, Douglas, Luikin, Paterson and the half dozen or so other women from Europe before the ascendancy of American women in the AA Gold category).
There's been only 17 or so AA Gold winners since the 1952 Olympics, with American women taking all the last 5 consecutive AA Golds; and you have to go back to the 1984, to see the other American woman, Marry Lou Retten... being the first America AA Gold Olympic winner for women...
Spencer I'm so happy to see you, the guest hosts are great and all, you're totally irreplaceable and missed when you're not here, but please make sure that you're giving yourself grace and the time you need to rest.
Confirmed Skye tore her Achilles. Thinking positively for this incredible athlete, and hope she has a speedy/healthy recovery. Don't give up Skye -- we're always cheering for you!
I'm so devastated for Skye. 2028 is gonna be the year of revenge with her and Konnor. I can feel it.
Skye being hurt is DEVASTATING. This is why I have said from the beginning that the US put the gymnasts through too much. Every other country has one major event to select the team but the US have about three within a SHORT SPACE of time. This is terrible and needs to stop. Nationals and Trials should have been ONE and DONE especially as this sport requires so much from the athletes. I hope they do away with this triangulation of competitions in the future.
Same here. They overwork them. It's brutal.
During the Olympic year, yes. Classics to Championships to trials. Perhaps trials could be one night? Or a little more time between Classics and Champs? Very tough season.
They don't have to compete in both comps before the trials and dont have to go full out in either but also, there's a lot to be said comp experience
i think there are so many things that contribute to doing all these comps. one is television coverage which = $$$. that's why i don't think simone should have to compete in trials.
@@orangemoonglows2692 Yes it is all about the Benjamins while the gymnasts are made to suffer and go through a lengthy process that is NOT NECESSARY.
Devastating news about Sky, she's so deserved to be in this team. But God knows it all, this is not the end for her. She will come back stronger. Lets pray for her.
Skye just officially withdrew, it's her Achilles. My heart is broken for her.
FYI that Chusovitina has said that she prefers the nickname Chusa, as Chuso is the masculine version of the nickname in her language.
Blakely’s injury shows why you can not just purely go with highest scoring team. It has to be a combination of highest scoring team but also take into account possible injury(ies) and making sure you have someone reliable to do any event with a decent/useable score. In a world where no one gets injured, then You can purely go with highest scoring team even if that means you have 2 gymnasts that you only use on 1 event.
and what happened to josc last worlds and to simone last olympics; exactly.
Yes this is what I feel too. Your whole team should really be good at the AA. So if something happens then you have a good solid backup.
Yes 💯
@@SonOfAGun1814 no one can replace Simone except on bars
@@creating1_c1999 huh? if simone goes down or gets the spins again she gets replaced everywhere
I just had spotify smart shuffle "another one bites the dust" into my playlist and I feel like it describes the last year perfectly. Starting with Eli Seitz and Jessica Gadirova around worlds last year, then Asia D'Amato, Georgia Godwin, Ondine and Eythora during continentals or trials this year. Paris feels cursed already and we're still a month away from qualifications. Hopefully we don't get any more injuries
absolutely heartbroken for skye i've been thinking all day about it and it's just like so sad especially cause she genuinely seems like such a sweet soul. she will be back ❤️
THIS IS DEVASATING 😭😭😭😭😭
I need to see if Leanne's Cheng is 1 arm. I know her 2nd vault was unfairly judged on day 1 champ (4.2), but I don't expect that she pulls out a Cheng, so judges can't downgrade it!
from a video I saw (that someone texted me who was in the arena during podium training), it is 100% one armed.
@@davidjacobmarts535 OK. Thanks for the confirmation.
Its so good to see Spencer well ❤ I still miss his posts ob BBS tho.
Love how tennis was brought into this! Two of my fav sports 🙌🙌
Lol, Spencer’s face when the video comes on 😂 My guy looks so stressed.
I live for these podcasts ❤
Poor Skye.... but as a result it opens even more room for Jordan, Jade, Kayla to qualify
I’m glad to hear Jade has brought back her amanar to set her apart from all the double twisting yurchenko’s. The 9 time world medalist and Olympic gold medal floor champ would be on my team. Let Simone sit out floor and/or vault during team finals. It did not prove fruitful to leave the other double event finalist off the team in 2021 so why do it again? Especially now if Skye is injured.
Simone will do all 4 events in TF I bet 🤔
Why do you want Simone to sit out floor and/or vault?
BB and UB aren't even her best events.
That means her AA scores are so much superior to all other gymnasts from both America and the world... is heavily due to her giant floor tumbling and dare devil vaulting. Again, a few Americans and for sure, a few Chinese and that Algerian-French girl, Kaylia Nemour, almost for sure, will beat Simones on the UB and BB.
Even Suni, for example, is extremely capable of beating Simones on the UB and BB beam.... not often enough but regularly to know she could do it, if she's perfect... Suni has had health issues the last 2 plus years, so the nationals 2 or so weeks ago, was the first time she did all apparatuses, with Simones and all other elites also competing...
Anyway, the problem why on AA scores very few other individuals --- who may be great in one or two apparatuses --- could beat Biles ..... is her LEVEL of difficulty. She does so many very difficult tricks, even if she's not landing perfectly, even with a great deduction, she still is right beside another elite with close to a perfect score, on that same apparatus.... so, on all 4 apparatuses, over many hours in a 2-3 day event, wear & tear take almost all others out of her AA range!
@@kiabtoomlauj6249 there’s no Russians at this Olympics and why does she need to carry the team again doing all four? If Skye is out they’ll need her bars and beam.
@Nixmathis they shouldn’t need her!! And why does she need to do all four? Why can’t she have the tiniest of breaks during team to save herself a smidge for AA? She’s a woman not a machine to used by USA gymnastics.
@@cjinpa5713The Russians would compare anyway. Idk why you bringing them up.
So, this will probably put Kayla or Jordan on the team now. I assume it will now be Simone, Shilese, Suni, Jade, and Kayla/ Jordan. I feel so devastated for Skye, how could this happen twice! 😭
I'm just wondering what the 5th person would compete on...
Vault: Simone, Shilese, Jade
Bars: Suni, Simone, Shilese
Beam: Suni, Shilese, Simone
Floor: Simone, Shilese, Jade
Where would you sub Kayla or Jordan in?
@jessicalong2293 I would say Floor. Shilese is solid on floor, but I think Jordan or Kayla can get higher scores.
I would take Jordan over Kayla. Kayla is over scored in the US, imo. Plus, Jordan brings Olympic experience and positive vibes.
I wanna know the Simone-Jade tea so bad lol
@@jessicalong2293 Vault and floor most likely. Jordan can outscore Shi on both vault and floor. A backup who can do beam and bars is also needed, in case of Shi's shoulder or Suni's kidneys flaring. I think Jordan fits this bill best, but Kayla would also be an acceptable alternate. It will come down to their trials perforamnce.
Heartbroken about Skye. After national championships she was easily one of my locks for the Olympic team. I hope she knows how much we and team USA would have loved to have her on the team!
She wasn’t a lock for me because of her past history of falling at the international level. I said if she hit 8 for 8 at trials, then she has to be on the team but with the thought in the back of your head what happens if she starts showing nerves at the Olympics, how can the rest of the team be used to cover for her if we she isn’t used in the finals.
@@ClarkJohnson-oq9ue Injury prone too.
21:28 Spencer saying exactly what I was thinking! After doing some digging found out it's Tate Costa
I mean she literally opens the story with "they call him 'Tater-tot" Tate Costa" lol. I dunno, I felt like Spencer was being kinda hostile during this entire segment lol
Random question: Is Tim Dagget on Ozempic? Girl looks thin af.
The pressure on these athletes is absolutely insane. I truly don’t care about putting together a “best” or “optimal” team if it means people are pushing themselves to the point of injury. I want healthy, happy athletes!!! These women are all at the top of their game, there’s no question about it. They are shaping the sport in incredible ways. Just being able to watch them compete, do their skills and have fun is totally enough for me!! Our obsession with podium/medaling is toxic and we need to start acknowledging the real harm this causes
I'm heartbroken right now. I was looking forward to Skye at the Olympics. I'm dying inside.
Back one and a half to smush.
Please make that a tshirt!!!!
Leanne adding a Cheng is super exciting, hope she can get both hands on the table🙌
Is she also upgrading floor? Super gutted for Skye 😢 I hope she recovers quickly and easily, she could be a huge star in the next quad. Hope Shi is ready, and I agree that Suni may be coming for the AA! Shes going to have so much hometown support.
Yes. She planned a Dos Santos stag (=G) 3rd pass. Fell in 1st trial, but successful when doing it alone.
I was saying this the whole month, will Sky cope with all this pressure. Everyone was talking about her, and I knew the pressure was gonna be high
Hello dear friends, does someone knows how can I watch olympic trials outside US
thank you
Crying over Skye. My heart breaks for her; I feel she is a lock. Prayers for you, Skye!
Dose anyone know where I can watch the trials in the uk please and thank u
Peacock App
I heard about that guy who D scored his way on the National Team because of a loophole in the rules. Crazy!
Being immature, I kept giggling at the guy D'ed his way on the team. I'll see myself out now.
Someone spill the behind the scenes 😊
I was hoping to see if Jordan was upgrading her vaults from a Lopez to a Cheng. I’d love to see her on the team!
I've been wanting a Jordan upgrade too. But after all of the new chengs this last year have gotten a leg connective tissue injury shortly after debut (Josc, Jess Gadirova, Skye), I'm not so sure. Glad she's not competing it if she isn't 100% certain.
@@erinm9445 For Jordan, I don't know if that's the issue of the speed of twisting. She has sufficient height and distance to an upgrade.
@@cocoroni1031 Oh, agreed that speed of twisting has to be her issue
All totally fair.
OMGosh Skye!!! My heart breaks for her
OMG Poor Skye. She also got injured right before the 2020 trials. How devastating to have your Olympic dream crushed right in front of you TWICE.
Didn't a DLO injure two other gymnasts this year already? Konnor and someone else?
Trinity Thomas
Two (Konnor and Skye). Both of them injured from take-off.
And Trinity couldn't quite continue after that double layout dismount on floor. Jordan's double layout gave me anxiety...
@@Bo_Boodi YES thank you. How awful
So gutted for Skye.. she deserved to be on this team 😪
What's the app for scoring?
Prayers for Skye.
I am wondering if after the 5 athletes are picked and named, can any of those 5 be removed the day before the first routine starts for any reason other than serious injury.
For example, say Jones is picked for the team (I expect her to be picked) even though at trials she is slightly off (still performing better than most) and everyone is like “she should be back to close peak Jones with a few more weeks” but at all the training sessions she is still off and maybe even regressing (shoulder injury concerns), can she be replaced by one of the alternates?
this Olympic team trial is selection process but scratches can happen all the way up to performance at the Olympics, which is why alts are strategically in place 2/2 travel/non travel
@@creating1_c1999 that’s what I thought but I just never heard of anyone being taken off the team for something other than injury.
@@ClarkJohnson-oq9ue well...who is going challenge if they say they aren't feeling well mentally/physically behind the closed doors, you get what I'm saying
2 minutes in and Skye is hurt - wow - I did not see that coming.
One thing about Skye, she's gonna fall. One way or another. Really sucks for her, I hope she has a quick recovery.
Skye, she is a stunning gymnast, i hope she does 2028, a\shes so good
❤❤
Heartbroken for Skye! Hoping she goes to FL and tries for 2028 again!
Imagine how it must feel for the person who ALMOST made Olympic trials but was push aside because someone found a way to bend the rules. Horrible.
i am so sorry for skye. hopefully she can try another olympics.
Oh no
Hopefully Skye will be okay.
Hopefully.
But these elite athletes literally push themselves, mentally & physically, to the very limits of what the human body could do...
So when they miss a skill, miss a tumble, misplace a finger, a hand, a toe during an apparatus ... which are dangerous even during a perfect performance: this is why I could NEVER watch women's BB live --- or, for the same reason, women & men figure skating --- because from Biles, to Sunni to Qui Qiyuan, to Zhou Yaqin, ... you KNOW if one tiny pinky toe is 1/2 outside of where it should be, it's the floor, they go... it doesn't matter how good you really are, who you are, how many gold's you've won previously...
Remember, one of the most touted, most gifted US women gymnasts and Arkansas current head coach for its women's gymnastics, JORDYN WEIBER (with Simone Biles, at the time, being largely, at best, a young "junior" member of the US senior women's squad...)
She was thought to be in the running for a Gold on the balancing beam, at the very least, if memory serves.... because she was THAT surefooted on that most feared apparatus; but for some reason, she didn't even make it to being one picked for that apparatus, due to some mishap or some major misfortune like that...
The haunting looks, from these athletes, of literally one moment being at some heights & another, being in the deepest of valleys... it's quite tragic, in some ways.... "beautiful" as the sport is... a sport so demanding, so brutal, elite skills often times are not enough: a person will also need tons of pure luck, to be on her side (e.g., not getting sick or injured --- or not having "an off night" ---- during a practice, for a major international show case, for the Olympic trials, etc...)
Prayers for Skye 😢❤
Cancel the quad! 😢
Truly devastated for Skye.
I know this lady (the one from the left)! She defended Valorie Kondos Field when all those emotional ab*se allegtions started. Funny to me how she's now an ambasador for positive coaching...
She was uniformed and I believe she did apologize for it.
@@creating1_c1999 besides apologising, did she condemn Field's behavior?
Ugh, I have no words-- horrible for Skye. Get well Skye bird. I truly wanted her to make the O team.
I think she would made the team.
i am utterly distraught about Skye. She was THE contender. I still can’t believe it :(
Manifesting it was just a tweak and Skye can compete! Just putting it out there
torn achilles. Trials is over for her. :(
Devastated about skye
If Skye and Konnor don't make 2028 I swear to god.
I’m sorry but Tate Costa’s coaches should be banned for putting their gymnastics in danger. That rule should be changed because he has made it VERY dangerous. This is not something we should be applauding. If he severely injured himself nobody will think this was a great idea.
Cancel PARIS 😭😭😭
Why?
@@leykimayri Because Skye is hurt
@@DoreenBwalya-uc8ve So the Olympic Games should be cancelled because an American gymnast was injured? :facepalm
@@leykimayri about ten of the top gymnasts in the world are currently injured. Paris is just the battle of the ones who made it there injury free
@@Raven-ll9lm There are always injuries before Olympics. If Olympics happened in 1980 with the US boycotting them and then they happened again in 1984 with the Easter block boycotting them having an American winning AA and so many other medals who wouldn’t have even participated in the finals otherwise, then I think we can have Olympics in Paris with some gymnasts being injured and not participating….
I feel like Chelsie and Alicia are leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to Kayla Dicello. Ugh 🙄
How many of us predicted she wouldn't last to Paris, like the rest of WOGA? So sick of WOGA. Best of luck to Kaliya being recovered ENOUGH for a chance and Skye's recovery. People can drag me, but I'd take top 4 AA and MAYBE one person that can fill in as a specialist. The rage about OMG the best scoring team, and then you see it was by 0.2 pts and that athlete would only be usable on 1 event is absurd. Very absurd. Chellsie and Alicia said top 2 on 2 events to buck AA order or it's not happening and I agree.
And lastly, when I say "specialist" I don't mean someone that literally cannot do the AA, I mean athletes that aren't top 4 on at least two events. For example, Jade might get top 5AA, but if she does not, she would be hoping to bump a top 5 AA'r for a "specialist spot" since she only gets top 5 on VT. At championships she was 5th on FX with both Shilese and Kaliya gone, also Jordan and Joscelyn had higher one day scores. Internationally, Jordan, Jade, and Joscelyn would all get dragged on FX this year, FIG has gotten tougher and tougher with scoring over the quad. Maybe her one vault is worth it for a team final to some, but her FX definitely is not, nor is BB/UB.
My team is Simone, Shi, Suni, Kayla, and Leanne. Jordan and Jade are traveling alternates; Hezly and Tiana as non-traveling alternates.
Jade won't be left home over Kayla and Leanne let's be fr 😂 They have no medal potential. Jade can give you vault and floor medals at her intended difficulty.
@@cocoroni1031 Vault maybe, floor no way.
@@leykimayri She has a 6.4+D floor. Ain't no way she doesn't medal if she just hits without major mistakes.
@@cocoroni1031 With a max 7.5 and more realistically a 7.0 E-score she’ll be getting I doubt she can even come close to any medal 😂
@@leykimayri she already got 8+E on floor with that bum ass L hop in 2022 let’s be fr😂
