It's here! It's here! It's here! Sorry y'all, I'm excited as hell. I'm calling it now:
Simone Biles. Fucking duh. I mean, come on.
Laurie Hernandez. I want to see this girl in the floor exercise event finals. And while I love me some Gabby Douglas, I do hope Laurie is the second all-arounder. White America won't know what to do with a black woman and Latina going 1-2.
Gabby Douglas. Speaking of. Yes, she's been looking lackluster and like her heart is no longer in the game, but the USA needs her bars. I hope she can get her coaching issues sorted out before Rio.
Raisman ain't going nowhere. But let's hope Marta doesn't put her up on UB in prelims to give her an outside chance at an AA medal. Otherwise, we're unnecessarily benching somebody with better UB.
Madison Kocian. As much as I want Ashton Locklear to get that last UB/BB spot, her gorgeous bars to win gold, and for the USA to have its first Native gymnast, the fact of the matter is, she and Madison are basically tied on bars and Kocian can be used on FX and VT if need be.
Alternates:
Ashton Locklear. *cries* This UB Lumbee queen.
Mykayla Skinner This puta.
Maggie Nichols. This swaggy child who needs to get a leo with better butt coverage.
In unrelated Olympic gymnastics news, the Romanian representatives will be:
This sexy bitch (Marian Dragulescu).
This vampire queen. CATA4EVA
So basically, Romania had to rely on veterans who first went to the Olympics 12-16 years ago because they've destroyed their young talent. Larisa Iordache is the traveling alternate for the women because aside from royally screwing up her hand from a broken finger, she sustained a back injury at Romanian Nationals a couple of weeks ago. Romania has officially gone the way of Ukraine.
