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)

Individual Apparatus Awards - Uneven Bars

Uneven Bars awards are hereby presented to....

Svetlana Khorkina for originality, difficulty, and execution. She has 3 UB skills named after, and Queen is also my #1 UB Worker. She is a 5 time World Champion and a 2 time Olympic Champion.

Isabelle Severino for superb work. She has done a Hristakieva without any form break. Not even a 0.001 cm leg separation. Major kudos for sticking around. She is the 1996 World Bronze Medalist.

Amy Chow for actually working the low bar and super stalders. Amy would actually do stalders on the low bar. Gasp! She has a luhvly piked jaeger and is the 1996 Olympic Silver Medalist.

He Kexin for dynamo, dynamo, dynamo. She connects the Li Ya to a Jaeger, does a Layout Jaeger, and Tkatchev + Pak combo. She connects an Ono + 1/2 to her dismount. He holds the record for UB, with a stellar 17.300 (7.7/9.6). She is the 2008 Olympic Champion.

Anastasia Liukin for that geinger. Can't live without it. Lovely pirouettes and usually great execution. She is the 2005 World Champion.

Elizabeth Tweddle for the hardest bar work in the world. In the old (2008) Code, she had an amazing 7.8 SV. She's gonna win at Euros, I know it. Beth is the 2006 World Champion.

Courtney Kupets for that Tkatchev. Sky high. She is the 2002 World Champion.

and last but in no way least...

Chellsie Memmel for battling injuries to make a great comeback. She has a lovely Hindorff and a nice Jam to DF Dismount.
