Wed. Sep. 20 @ 6:30 p.m.

Simone Biles UB: Fell on her Van Leeuwen yesterday, seemed like a fluke more than anything – she usually has more trouble with her toe 1/1 into her dismount. Let’s see how today goes… Clear hip half up to high bar to 1/1 to piked Tkatchev to Pak salto. No trouble with the Van Leeuwen today. Toe 1/1 to full-twisting double back, excellent, small hop. 14.050.

Wed. Sep. 20 @ 6:27 p.m.

Zoe Miller hits her bars set for the second-straight day. Really floaty. Double layout is just very arched, and she has to take a step forward because it was. a bit under-rotated. 14.400.

Joscelyn Roberson UB: Clear hip 1/2 to Ezhova. Toe 1/1 to high bar to Gienger. Clear hip. Stuck double layout – yea, thinking they put Josc on this team. She’s been so consistent.

Shilese Jones BB: Switch leap mount to switch half. Standing Arabian. Two-footed layout series, small balance check. Side aerial LOSO, leg up balance check. Full turn, just a bit off balance overall. Switch leap to Sissone. Double pike, step back. 14.350.

Wed. Sep. 20 @ 6:03 p.m.

Wed. Sep. 20 @ 5:55 p.m.

Full turn. Onodi to split jump to pike jump. Good on the next jump. Double pike looks a bit over-powered, but keeps it on her feet and just takes a large step back. 13.400.

Kaliya Lincoln UB: Clean routine. Van Leeuwen looked like it might be a little crooked. Otherwise, clean on the apparatus and stuck her double back off. 12.600.

Second vault scores from Day 1 of selection camp

Wed. Sep. 20 @ 10:25 a.m.

Wed. Sep. 20 @ 9:43 a.m.

Yurchenko double pike controversy is over

Simone Biles’ expected soon-to-be eponymous skill, the Yurchenko double pike, will be valued at a 6.4 difficulty score by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), according to U.S. women’s technical lead Chellsie Memmel.

This ends a months long saga that started at the Core Hydration Classic, when USA Gymnastics officials valued the vault at a 6.4, but it had not yet been submitted to the FIG. The vault was a 6.6 in the last Code of Points, with every vault going through a standard 0.4 devaluation in the newest COP, so logically, the YDP would be a 6.2 unless an exception was made, specifically due to the difficulty of the skill.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 11:20 p.m.

IMPORTANT schedule change for tomorrow!

Competition will start at 5:15 p.m. ET instead of the originally planned 6:15 p.m. ET.

Athletes will be showing select routines (one to two events), with the team named later tomorrow evening.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:47 p.m.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:26 p.m.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:24 p.m.

Final from Day 1 of selection camp. Simone Biles automatically qualifies to the world team. The remaining five members, including a traveling alternate, will be named tomorrow evening.

The all-around results pretty much resolve the fifth spot discussion in my eyes – Shilese Jones, Skye Blakely, Joscelyn Roberson, and Leanne Wong have shown that they should be on this team. Lincoln would be a solid alternate, or you could take someone with world experience like Chiles or DiCello, which would make sense.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:15 p.m.

Leanne Wong UB: Excellent through the beginning. Bhardwaj is money now. Just super floaty and the double layout is clean with just a hop. 13.850.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:10 p.m.

Joscelyn Roberson VT 1: Powerful Cheng. Very clean, minimal movement on the landing. 14.600.

JR VT 2: Double-twisting Yurchenko, clean and a small hop.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:07 p.m.

Shilese Jones UB: Stalder 1/1 to stalder to high bar to straddled Tkatchev. Toe 1/1 to stalder piked Tkatchev to Pak salto. Van Leeuwen. Toe 1/2. Double front, nearly sticks but a hop back. 13.500? Trying to think about what went wrong since she only got a 7.4 E-score. This puts Simone winning (55.700) and Jones getting a 55.300.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:05 p.m.

Jordan Chiles VT 1: Clean double-twisting Yurchenko with a hop back. Great to see that she seems to be Okay! 14.350.

JC VT 2: Clean Lopez with a small hop.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 10:02 p.m.

Kaliya Lincoln UB: Stalder 1/1. Stalder to high bar. Straddled Tkatchev. Release to Pak, seemed a bit off. Van Leeuwen. Stuck double back. Solid set to finish her day! 12.450.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:56 p.m.

Biles leads for now with a 55.700. Definitely not her best day. Two falls, some OOB, the issues on beam, but it’s also selection camp, and she will make this team. She’s looking to peak in a week or two, not right now.

If Jones hits, she’ll likely get the automatic qualifying spot. She needs a 14+ to pass Biles.

Skye Blakely UB: Piked Jaeger. Stalder Piked Tkatchev to Pak salto. Toe 1/1 to Van Leeuwen. Stuck double front half. 14.200.

Alicia Zhou UB = 13.600.

Madray Johnson UB = 12.050.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:52 p.m.

Simone Biles VT: Powerful Yurchenko double pike, but she over-rotates it and falls back (safely). Does not walk back to the top of the runway, so she’s just doing one today. Really, what’s the point? She can do the Cheng easy. 14.550 after the -0.500 deduction for Laurent spotting her. Got an 8.650 E-score, which is crazy considering she fell, but she usually scores 9.5+ E-score on that skill so not surprising.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:50 p.m.

Kayla DiCello VT: Soft knees but gets the double-twisting Yurchenko around. 14.200.

Nola Matthews UB = 13.650.

Lexi Zeiss VT = 13.400.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:49 p.m.

Eveylynn Lowe VT = 13.850.

Addison Fatta UB = 13.450.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:47 p.m.

Final rotation! Wrapping up on vault and bars. We will be recording a recap GN10 podcast after this to discuss today’s happenings and what to expect tomorrow. Will be uploaded to Spotify and then here for subscribers (ad-free).

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:43 p.m.

After three rotations, Kaliya Lincoln leads by one-tenth over Shilese Jones, followed by Simone Biles, Skye Blakely, and Leanne Wong. Some mistakes today, but the field is starting to separate itself. If Lincoln shows a clean bars set, she could definitely make her case, but it’s her weakest event. Meanwhile Jones and Biles are both heading to their highest scoring events (bars and vault). Skye Blakely and Leanne Wong have seemingly solidified their spots on the team along with Jones and Biles. It’s that fifth spot that will come down to Lincoln (unless she were to automatically qualify) or Roberson or maybe even Miller, although she primarily adds value on bars, while the other two can contribute on multiple events. The alternate spot will be very interesting.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:38 p.m.

Tiana Sumanasekera FX: Tucked double-double, OOB. Double layout, hop back but stays in bounds. Clean third pass. Double pike, slightly under-rotated, step forward. 13.200.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:33 p.m.

Jordan Chiles FX: Full-twisting double layout, clean through the air and a small hop back. 1.5 through to full-twisting double back, fights to stay in bounds. Double wolf turn. Double layout is under-rotated, falls forward, hands down. Double pike, clean. She fell to her knees as she was walking off the mat. Seems to be the right ankle that they’re looking at, according to Scott Bregman. 12.950.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:31 p.m.

Shilese Jones VT: Double-twisting Yurchenko. Not her cleanest – a bit sideways and a large hop back. But still very powerful. 14.150.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:29 p.m.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:27 p.m.

Skye Blakely VT 1: Block looked a bit wonky, but she still has great power and basically sticks it! 14.200.

SB VT 2: Makes the Lopez look easy. Basically stuck landing. The Cheng potential is there.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:24 p.m.

Simone Biles FX: Full-twisting double layout, clean, just a small step back. Front full through to tucked double-double, stuck. Shaky on her double wolf turn. Excellent Biles I, nearly sticks it but hops forward and believe it was just barely OOB. Cecile seemed to laugh at that lol. Double layout, two feet OOB. 14.300.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:22 p.m.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:21 p.m.

No second vault scores on MyUSAGym like usual, but if we get them from USAG, we’ll share them.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:19 p.m.

Alicia Zhou VT: Full-twisting Yurchenko, lands with her feet wide apart like a star? and goes over the line. Clean otherwise besides a hop. 12.850.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:17 p.m.

Lexi Zeiss FX: Falls on her opening pass, just super under-rotated. 11.950.

Addison Fatta VT 1: Double-twisting Yurchenko, seemed slightly under-rotated, soft knees, hop back. 13.950.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:10 p.m.

Eveylynn Lowe FX: Great turns to start. Big double Arabian, large step but seems to keep it in bounds. Didn’t see the end of her 2.5 twist pass. Double back to finish. 13.350.

Leanne Wong VT 1: Basically stuck double-twisting Yurchenko – excellent! 14.450.

LW VT 2: Very clean Lopez, small hop back.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 9:06 p.m.

Jade Carey VT 1: Powerful Cheng with a large hop back, noticeable leg separation from our angle. 14.650.

JC VT 2: Double-twisting Yurchenko seemed like a challenge. Low chest, large step over the line.

Amelia Disidore FX: Tucked double-double, very clean. Full-twisting double back, under-rotated and large step forward. 1.5 to front double full. Double pike, one foot OOB. 12.800.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:59 p.m.

Joscelyn Roberson FX: Laid-out double-double, one foot OOB but clean. Full-twisting double layout. Frotn full through to double back, might’ve been one foot OOB but it was close. Front layout through to double pike, nearly stuck! 13.850.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:56 p.m.

After two rotations, Shilese Jones is tied for the lead with Kaliya Lincoln at a two-event score of 27.650. Skye Blakely is third (27.600), followed by Zoe Miller (27.400) and Simone Biles (26.850). Lincoln started on her two best events. Biles still has her two best to go but has definitely opened the door for Jones to get the automatic qualifying spot after the fall on bars and the broken connection on beam, as well as a hit on her D-score due to missing the dance series. Miller is bolstered by a 14.500 on bars, which is the top score on the event right now.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:53 p.m.

Skye Blakely FX: This is the event that Skye has been struggling with most. Just returned to competing it at championships (first time since 2022 worlds). Tucked double-double, multiple feet OOB but stays on her feet after stumbling off the mat. Double layout, keeps it in bounds. Clean wolf turn. Punch front through to double back, clean but OOB. 13.250.

Zoe Miller BB: Straddle mount. Full turn. BHS LOSO LOSO, small bobble. Front aerial, soft knees, breaks connection. Split jump to back tuck. Switch leap to switch half, low. Side aerial. Sissone to wolf jump. Double pike. 12.900.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:47 p.m.

Simone Biles BB: Switch leap to switch half to back pike, hits it. Triple wolf turn, clean. Front aerial to split jump, breaks connection. Straddle jump. BHS LOSO LOSO, small bobble. Side aerial. Full-twisting double back, very clean, hop back. D-score took a hit due to lack of dance series after the split jump, so knocked down to a 5.9 (usually a 6.4/6.5). 14.050.

Madray Johnson FX = 12.650.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:42 p.m.

Kayla DiCello BB: Candle mount. Clean triple wolf turn. BHS LOSO LOSO. Switch leap to switch half, second very low. Frotn aerial to split jump to Sissone. Side aerial. Double pike, large step back. 13.800.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:27 p.m.

Leanne Wong FX: Double wolf turn. STUCK double-double. Basically stuck double layout. Double L-turn to full turn was a bit off. Half to front full. Double pike, big rebound forward but stays on her feet. 13.200.

Single wolf turn. Side somi, very low but somehow saves it. Switch straddle 1/4. Double pike, step back. 13.500.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 8:21 p.m.

Jade Carey FX: Excellent laid-out double-double, hop back. Full-twisting double layout, might’ve been one foot OOB. Full-twisting double back. Falls on punch front through to double back, fell forward. 12.300.

Joscelyn Roberson BB: Standing full, small bobble. Switch leap to switch half. A couple small bobbles here and there but nothing major while Carey was going. Side aerial LOSO LOSO looked funky, but she hit it. Excellent on her Onodi to jump series. Double pike, couple steps back. 13.450.

Joscelyn Roberson UB: Hits her most challenging event! And added back in the same-bar release that she took out at champs. Gienger looked solid. Powerful double layout.

Haven’t seen any scores yet, but when we get them, we’ll add them at the end of each routine’s play-by-play.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:29 p.m.

Skye Blakely BB: Trademark mount is clean. Blakely made the world beam final last year and was in contention until her ribbon got loose and derailed her routine, leading to a fall. Triple wolf turn is solid. Standing full. Front walkover to punch front to split jump, excellent. Switch leap to switch half, might’ve been a little low. Front aerial, bit soft in the knees. Side aerial. Stuck double pike dismount. 14.350.

Zoe Miller UB: Zoe didn’t have her best champs, so she’s looking for redemption here. Inbar 1/1 to Maloney. Inbar half to straddled Jaeger. Stalder piked Tkatchev to Pak salto. Van Leeuwen. Double layout. Great redemption set for Zoe. 14.500.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:26 p.m.

The start list is not correct – it’s just in alphabetical order. FYI.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:25 p.m.

Simone Biles UB: Clear hip 1/2. Maloney. 1/1 to piked Tkatchev to Pak salto. Falls on her Van Leeuwen. Repeats the skill and hits. Toe 1/1 to full-twisting double back is clean. 12.800.

Madray Johnson went first on beam it seems and fell on her dismount. 12.250.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:21 p.m.

It looks like we might be going at the same time on each event, so we’ll try to catch as much as possible. Hopefully they alternate routines.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:17 p.m.

Touch warmup happening now. It looks as though Katelyn Jong will not compete today. She was not in the lineup.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:16 p.m.

Always fun seeing Simone no longer at the end of the lineup. Her teammate, Joscelyn Roberson, has taken the last spot. Biles and Roberson are the same height, but Simone said earlier this year that she trumped Joscleyn with the age card (Josc is 17 and Biles is 26).

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:14 p.m.

Alright, lineup happening now and competition is about to begin! All athletes are wearing USA leotards since this is an assignment. So even the pinks and purples are USA leos.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:10 p.m.

Simone Biles has been warming up both the Cheng and Yurchenko double pike. Reminder that she opted to just do the Cheng on Day 2 of championships after stinging her ankle on the YDP on Day 1. She doesn’t have to do both at this selection camp, but if she’s going to do it at worlds (and get it named the Biles II on vault), the more reps the better.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:07 p.m.

Warmups still going on. Meanwhile, an update on Katelyn Jong:

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:04 p.m.

Start lists for Rotation 1

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 7:00 p.m.

In regard to Katelyn Jong (see earlier tweet), Jong is already qualified as an individual to Pan Am Games after winning the junior title in 2021. If she were to be unable to compete, the U.S. would simply lose that individual spot, which is separate from the 5-person team.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 6:56 p.m.

Athletes are still warming up, so will be a few more minutes until competition begins.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 6:56 p.m.

Today is the all-around competition, and tomorrow is select events – one to two as decided after a conversation between the Athlete Selection Committee (ASC) and each individual athlete.

The top all-arounder from today’s competition will automatically qualify to the world team. That athlete is expected to be Simone Biles, barring an unexpected development.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 6:52 p.m.

We’re starting out on bars and beam and will be alternating between the two, it seems. The broadcast provides no commentary, so we will be that voice for you if you’re tuning in live.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 6:50 p.m.

There IS a scoring page for the U.S. women’s selection camp. Follow along with live scores here.

Tue. Sep. 19 @ 6:46 p.m.

This selection camp is for both worlds and Pan Am Games. The world team will consist of 6 athletes, including a traveling alternate, and the Pan Ams team will have 5 athletes and up to 3 non-traveling alternates.
