Winter Cup Preview

GymCastic: The Gymnastics Podcast

Winter Cup Developments

• Suni Lee is a late entry and wants to get the Jaeger full named after herself! Let's go!
  • Watch her in our Training Camp update video here
• What expectations are fair for Gabby Douglas's performance here?
• Omens and Prophecies: What Winter Cup developments might function as a positive omen for gymnasts' Olympic prospects?
• What is a good score right now? What numbers should we be looking for at Winter Cup?

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?
