About those two meets.....

Universiade Belgrade: Poor Rie Tanaka of Japan. She was the only gymnast to qualify to all events and came home empty handed :(.
Jiang Yuyuan wins AA after scoring only 14.2 on bars. What happened? She never messes up bars!

Mediterranean Games: A good showing from Youna. Only screwed on floor. I wonder why,

HOLY COW!

I was browsing through lists of USA National Teams and found out that the one and only, back full onto the beam, side Valdez, Kelly Garrison-Steves, HAS BEEN ON the USA team no less than SEVEN times! Holy cow!

Possible 2009 World USA Team

Taking all events into account (we don't have that ahmazing vaulters anymore).....

Possibilities:
Nastia Liukin
Bridget Sloan
Chellsie Memmel
Ivana Hong
Kytra Hunter
Jana Bieger
(Shawn Johnson)

VT:
Sloan - DTY, great execution.
Hunter - 1 1/2, but it's HUGE. If she's selected for worlds, she'll upgrade to a DTY almost for sure.
Hong - DTY, pretty good.
Liukin - 1 1/2, perfect. She's going to be used for vault in prelims if doing the AA, which I think she will. After all, she's the reigning olympic champion.
Memmel - will only vault if doing the AA.
(Shawn Johnson - Amanar, good form. Landing needs work xD)

UB:
Liukin - DUH!
Memmel - Another world champion.....
Sloan - only if they need her.
(Shawn Johnson - ?)

BB:
Liukin - given.
Memmel - If doing the AA.
Hong - if WOGA can give her the beam abilities of Nast and Carly, then for suresies. WOGA always has the best beamers. So light on their feet, like feathers (ech hem, Carly :P)
(Shawn Johnson - given if she shows up, cause she's um, lemme think..... another olympic champion!!!)

FX:
Liukin - Bronze medalist and needs it for the AA.
Kytra Hunter - WHOOOOO explosive. One of the best in the new code.
Jana Bieger - great tumbling.
Memmel - if doing the AA. Has good difficulty, could clean it up.
(Shawn Johnson - ?)


AA:
Liukin
Memmel
(Shawn Johnson)

If Liukin hits, I have a feeling she will come out on top. With Beth second. And Ksenia third. AND PAVS POWNS ALL!

We don't really need Jana Bieger.

TEAM: Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, Chellsie Memmel, Ivana Hong, Bridget Sloan, and Kytra Hunter.
If Shawn does not show, either Jana or Mattie Larson might take her place. But I hear Mattie is out with ankle injury.

TQ
VT: Shawn, Nastia, Chellsie, Kytra
UB: Shawn, Nastia, Chellsie, Bridget
BB: Shawn, Nastia, Chellsie, Ivana or Bridget
FX: Shawn, Nastia, Kytra, Bridget

TF
VT: Shawn, Nastia, Kytra
UB: Nastia, Chellsie, Bridget
BB: Shawn, Nastia, Chellsie or Ivana
FX: Shawn, Kytra, Bridget







EDIT: Thanks to Kennedy Sorenstam for telling me these worlds are individual and only four per country.


So I will re-do this.

Team: Nastia Liukin (WOGA), Chellsie Memmel (M and M), Kytra Hunter, and Ivana Hong (WOGA) or Bridget Sloan. Depends on how Ivana's shaping up at WOGA cause we haven't heard much from her.

(Possible: Shawn Johnson -Chows)

AA: Liukin, Memmel (Johnson)
VT EF: Nobody. Unless Shawn pulls out an Amanar and another vault such as a DTT.
UB EF: Nastia and Chellsie
BB EF: Liukin, Memmel (Johnson)
FX EF: Memmel, Hunter (who can pull out gold, has scored 15+) (Johnson)

Youna Dufourtnet Hit Once In Her Life

Glided through the Mediterranean Games for once in her life. I don't think she landed on her head but I'll check on that.
