@lollynyc LOL, this realization has already come to me, weeks and weeks after I posted this. Thanks though. LOL

@glenndelossantos15 ...and that's IF they don't get injured. With the Olympics two years away there's no way we can definitively choose who will most likely be there. Since the Olympic team is typically MOSTLY made up of younger girls (16-18) with only one or two older girls, I'd say a lot of the girls who are around 14 right now will be much more likely than the return of Sloan, Peszek, Hong or Larson.

@glenndelossantos15 I don't think so...you're assuming all of the current seniors will continue and ignoring all of the up and coming juniors like Mack Brannan, Brandie Jay, Keely McNeer, etc. Larson and Peszek are off to college and many college gymnasts do not train both collegiate and elite at the same time. Of your list the only two I see in 2012 for SURE are Wieber and Bross.

she always sticks her landings! thats what i love about her!

[glenndelossantos15]

However, Nastia and Shawn probably won't even join the next olympics anymore so this is more likely what's going to be: Samantha Peszek Bridget Sloan Ivana Hong Rebecca Bross Mattie Larson Jordyn Weiber VT: Sloan, Peszek, Weiber(Star) UB: (so far, without Liukin and Johnson, we don't have a bar worker) Sloan, Bross, Peszek(Star) BB: Bross, Hong, Peszek(Star) FX: Sloan or Larson, Bross, Peszek(Star) no?

[glenndelossantos15]

This is my "Dream Team" for 2012. And by dream, I'm saying "I hope". I'm not saying that's what's most likely what's going to be. Nastia Liukin Shawn Johnson Samantha Peszek Bridget Sloan Ivana Hong Mattie Larson VT: Sloan, Peszek, Johnson UB: Peszek(or Sloan), Johnson, Liukin BB: Peszek(or Hong, but more relying on Peszek) , Liukin, Johnson FX: Peszek(or Larson), Liukin, Johnson I think the team would be solid enough

thanks @481095ymg2 for explaining that to me!!

@harrypottersgymnast shawn has a higher difficulty level by two tenths only because her dismount is two tenths more difficult than sam's.
