10:57 Ali's whip always scares me on pass #1, I remember when they cut that in team finals at Worlds to save the OOB penalty
10:57 Ali has the highest start value on floor, let's hope she doesn't go out of bounds
10:56 Uh oh Kyla sat down that Amanar. Shouldn't be a huge factor because she wouldn't be asked to vault in team finals
10:55 That was a good floor set from McKayla. She just showed Martha she can go up on two events in London
10:54 Very locked landing on that first pass for McKayla...her crooked tumbling really scares me
10:52 Gabby is just thrilled with herself...good for her!
10:52 I can't watch Gabby's vault...just a tiny step forward
10:51 Gabby is so freaking muscular!
10:48 Dear Lord Jordyn is on tonight and we know she can be even better!
10:47 I think she just got a little help on that "out of bounds" there but if anybody deserves the benefit of the doubt it's Jordyn
10:46 It's Wieber time on floor. We love this Zumba music!
10:44 Elizabeth Price has been the major standout of this team; she may be in that Olympic conversation right now
10:42 In what world are Bill and Donna Strauss "wonderful people"?
10:39 Oy why did Tim & Elfie have to bring out that heinous velcro board?
10:33 I love Kyla's Phantom routine...I know I'm in the minority; that was a solid set from her
10:28 Gabby just said "Martha-put me up on floor in team finals"
10:27 Gabby makes those jumps out of passes look great; the girl just sells the heck out of this floor
10:27 Let's see which Gabby shows up on floor here
10:25 Just the slightest of hops from Jordyn on beam, that was as close to a stick as you can get
10:24 Some missed connections and some pauses, Jordyn looks tentative on beam
10:24 I love that Jordyn is wearing Red, White, and Blue
10:22 I just love Sabrina, what a sweet little thing. Step out of bounds though
10:16 Alicia is getting up there in age, but let's see her go out with a bang
10:15 Alicia's mount continues to scare the shit out of me, but them again she continues to do it10:14 Totally crooked in the air on that last pass
10:13 Sarah is the sweetest little thing this side of Sabrina Vega; I'm so happy to be seeing some floor routines
10:11 Very uncharacteristic bobble from Ali, almost fell off the beam on that one
10:10 Get it Ali...let's hit this beam set; that part where she lays down on the beam reminds me of ASac
10:08 In Rotation 2: Finnegan won Beam; Wieber won bars
10:04 Not a good day for WOGA at all
10:03 Rebecca jammed her feet into the mat on that dismount and ate it.
10:02 Uh oh, off the beam on a blind landing skill for Rebecca. She needed to beat Ross on beam to improve her stock
10:00 Gabby's mom looks fierce...I'd never cross her
9:59 Gabby makes me so nervous! But good dismount
9:58 Balance check and loss of connection for Gabby on beam
9:53 Things don't look great for Sabrina Vega. She just isn't enough of a standout on any one event
9:51 Aww I love Sabrina Vega, she is just the sweetest little thing!
9:50 Oh no, totally missed the bar! Bars doesn't earn Maroney's ticket to London so it's not a huge issue
9:49 That was cute Wieber fluff!
9:44 Oh no, lost her balance on that leap and a hop on the landing
9:43 She is coming out aggressive right here!
9:43 Get it Nastia! Let's hit this beam set
9:42 The Wiebs had to muscle it a little on that opening bars sequence. Not the prettiest routine, but good stick
9:40 If it can't be like Terin Humphrey, don't do that helicopter move
9:39 I don't like Finnegan's mount, it looks too wobbly and her arms flail too much. Perfect split jumps
9:37 Kyla is showing nerves on the beam--losing connections-but her lines are just to die for. Nice stick!
9:36 I love Kyla's beam mount; awesome strength
9:35 That was all Ali could do....good for her
9:35 Oy Raisman on bars is always rough; nice flexed feet
9:31 Rotation 1: Maroney leads Vault with 16.100; Li/Ross tied for lead on Bars with 15.500
9:27 What on earth is Shawn Johnson wearing? A neon sequined jacket?
9:27 Near stick on the landing
9:27 huge releases from the flying squirrel but then a really muscled handstand
9:26 15.500 ties Anna Li with Ross on bars
9:25 So 13.150 means Sabrina Vega had some major issues. Also, why didn't NBC show Anna Li?
9:17 I like Jordyn's racing stripe leotard. It's a very classic, athletic look
9:17 It's Wieber time....oooo that locked leg landing scared me a little
9:16 She's safely through the pirouetting and the trouble spots from Visas; and then bent legs on the final handstand and landing on her back in the dismount
9:15 Nastia on bars....this is huge
9:15 Ooo a Parkette! That's one powerful Parkette
9:14 Finnegan has lovely form on bars, but not enough pop
9:13 By 15.50 to 15.30, Ross outscores Bross on bars
9:12 Alicia on vault...huge power and just a tiny step back
9:11 Get it Kyla, perfect handstands and stuck dismounts
9:09 Kyla has the International look according to Martha
9:09 Kyla in a very Nastia leotard
9:08 A little wild on the Amanar from Raisman...bent knees and locked landing
9:07 Good handstands and good landing on our little Rebecca
9:07 Rebecca's foot positioning has always been so odd to me on bars
9:06 A little bit of a low landing on the 2nd vault (Mustafina) for Maroney
9:05 16.1 for Maroney on Amanar vault
9:05 Good positioning on the Amanar from Maroney, but a big step forward
9:04 Leos have drastically improved since the days of crushed velvet
9:03 McKayla is a gladiator, she was not all about being taken out on that stretcher
9:03 Yay I love the NBCSports music!
9:03 Martha acts like a grandma in this fluff but we all know she is a dragon lady
9:02 "She is the dream maker, but she's also the dream breakers" -Tim on Martha
9:01 Who doesn't love the hyper-emotional fluff? Get it girls, this is the stuff dreams are made of.
9:00 It's Team Hot Pink all over the place around here, go Nastia
9:00 Oy Al Trautwig, it's like we are back in 2000
