Thank you!
Do you think that the selection for alternates will be even more important with Skye getting injured and Shilese’s sholder injury flaring up?
Did Olympic Trials stream anywhere?
I mean podium training for trials.
Does anyone know where you can get single session tickets to trials? All online vending is selling just all session. Can you walk up to target center ticket booth and get em?
I am so sad for Skye. I hope its not too serious even though it sounds pretty serious.
Does Kayla stand a chance
Honestly the equipment IS an issue! WTH USA
Gymnastics?
