[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I thought this was going to be something amazing like Jordan Chiles had stepped aside to let the younger generation in. I find it so incredibly selfish of people like Simone Biles just to keep going and shut amazing young athletes like Hezley, Tiana, Jocelyn, and others from shining.[/quote]

This is a weird take when the team selection was heavily impacted by the fact that three top gymnasts suffered major injuries either right before trials or on the first day of competition. Shilese Jones and Skye Blakely were very likely to make the team before they got hurt and DiCello would have been in the mix. Jones and Blakely going out led to space both for veterans AND young gymnasts. It's impossible to know what would have happened if they hadn't gotten injured but Jones was a near lock for the team and Blakely highly likely and it's probably Hezly and Jade Carey who benefited most from those open slots. Simone and Suni were pretty much always going to make the team if healthy and things didn't fall apart. Jordan had a phenomenal meet.

It's a good team but not as strong as it would have been with Jones and Blakely. Hezly is great but very untested. it's good they have so many veterans to carry the team despite these very major losses.[/quote]
