Hopefully Maggie Haney takes a look at how she's pacing this kid....training her into the ground isn't working so something had to give. Riley actually seems frail to begin with so rushing her back from injury certainly wasn't a help...
They will likely pick the next best AA -- Thomas/Chiles/HurdWho benefits most from this unfortunate occurrence (from a World Team perspective)? Will they go with another all arounder or a specialist?
I'm not sure if it was more Maggie or Valeri rushing her, he gave an interview saying how he really wanted her competing at championships. Or it could be both.
It's unfortunate but sadly not a surprise. Haney definitely down played the decision on Instagram. I hope this year off is helpful for her as Riley's a beautiful gymnast when she's healthy and confident.
I'm crossing fingers for Jordan to slide into the World's spot. Region 2 doesn't get much exposure on the national scale so this would be huge for us.
Do you think she will actually take an entire year off? Out of the gym? If I took a year off from something I do not believe I would return. I read a study that indicated it takes anywhere from 2-8 months to form a habit. Taking a year off would be forming a habit of not doing gym. This time frame may explain why it takes gymnastics quite some time to come to terms with retiring from gymnastics.
