@camjay8 She announced her return
-
her leaps are not up to standard
-
First of all,her score was not low,because
1. She didn't do her switch ring which is an E element,i think Switch leap only is like..B or a C element..so she lost like 2 tenths on that
2.Her dismount is a double twist,its marked as a C element,so she gets only 0.4 for that,and also,the requirement is that you have to do at least a D valued dismount..so she lost 0.5 there..
I dont think she will go to london to compete bc she said she already has what she wanted all her life..soo..you know..
-
She will not return to gymnastics. She has what she wants. She is just gonna say "I am thinkin about it" until it is a month away from Olympic Quals. She doesn't wanna break her fan's hearts and I respect her for that.
-
She did alot in that routine that was in beijing so she still can do most of her skills, i only saw a few skills twicked abit e.g. the wolf jump without the full turn other than that she's till potentially the best in the world & if she got back her strength she could compete in the olympics again.

@TheHoliday555 No.
-
Now that she gained weight she cant do any of the stuff she used to be able to do before...
-
wow only in the 14's?? really? still...pretty impressive to still be in the 2009 Visa's after taking a break for so long.
-
@showjumperluvr4 its because its what shes good at.
-
how does Caquatto score higher than this with a fall?



Too bad she pulled out of contention for the worlds, I would have loved to see her earn the most medals in world competition. She's the best the USA has ever had, and deserves that recognition! Hopefully her career is not over! :)
