1. Polina Schennikova's Injury-Polina was injured. She announced that when she came back to train in January, she couldn't even do the simplest move on bars: The Kip. Which was really sad. This would've been an awesome year for Polina, she was going to be one of those first years, the first year senior. 2014 was not a bad year to start as a senior. Aly Raisman turned senior the second year after Beijing and look where it got her! Two golds and a bronze! So if Polina hadn't injured herself, she would be right on target for Rio.
2. Anastasia Grishina's ACL Tear- It was a devastating day for all as we watched as Anastasia Grishina, 2012 Olympian, who just came back from a back injury, tore her ACL at Russian Nationals, her club, Moscow, would have come in first by a comfortable margin if they weren't forced to count Grishina's devastating 13.2 floor routine. But the girls from the club weren't concerned with the fact that they only won silver, they were concerned with the fact that Anastasia Grishina was down for the count. Grishina is having surgery, and like her teammate, Aliya Mustafina was in 2011, will probably be out for the rest of 2014, rehabilitating her knee. But once again, like Aliya Mustafina, be training bars and making the depth of Russia on this apparatus, stronger.
3. Aly Raisman's Comeback Pushed To Next Year- This crushes me so much that I can't say much. Aly decided to push her comeback back until '15.
