I have read all the Aly vs Gabby debates... I understand all the rules and why only 3 AA's had a chance given that Kocian performed during team qualifications... My question: Why not sit Kocian and let the 4 best AA's in the world go for it...??? The AA is the Holy Grail, let them duke it out for a spot in the AA Final...
Please don't say it was for max points, we CRUSHED by 10 over China... (MK knew the USA would win easy) I realize that Kocian is a great at UB and she could medal... so could Skinner on Vault and Locklear on UB and Ragan on Beam and on and on... the 5th gymnast on this team could have been my Level 3 DD and you still win Team and AA Gold... and a lot more... It is frustrating because there are no guarantees... will Laurie be back for Tokyo...??? The trials should have mattered more...
