  • Watch her in our Training Camp update video here 
• What expectations are fair for Gabby Douglas's performance here?

US Olympic Selection Procedures

• They're finally out! We discuss some encouraging developments and identify areas of potential controversy in the injury petition rules
• Someone can (theoretically) petition directly onto the Olympic team. Should that be allowed? And would that ever be used for anyone other than Simone?
• How might a two-event gymnast be taken into account for Olympic selection?
• How the open-ended women's procedures compare to the numerically specific men's, and how two selection procedures for the exact same thing can be so different

Cairo World Cup

• The first apparatus qualifier is in the books! We discuss the Heron, a huge result for Emma Malabuyo on floor, the state of New Zealand's Olympic spots, Nina Derwael's beam win, and...gasp...is Chuso in trouble?
