Kyla has been a topic on this blog a lot lately. Kyla became an Olympian in 2012, as a first year senior, a great accomplishment in anyone's book. After winning the team gold, and standing on that podium, Kyla went to watch her teammates in the individual parts ot the Games, and she decided she wanted individual success at the Games. So she and her best friend McKayla Maroney continued on. Individually in 2013, Kyla won three silver medals in the AA, Bars, and Beam Competitions. This was a great way to prove that she wanted to succeed individually. In 2014, however, she was not as lucky. At Worlds, she won bronze in the All-Around, and she won gold in the team, and was a major part of it, but individually, she only won the bronze.
In order to make the Rio Team, Kyla NEEDS to upgrade. She can't get by on the routines she has now. Not with Simone Biles, Bailie Key, and a bunch of new seniors on the radar. She ABSOLUTELY ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to upgrade. I talked about her upgrades on "Questions on The Gymternet" which I just recently published. The Upgrades I really want to see her do is the Amanar on vault, and upgrading from that double tuck on beam. Its time to rid that double tuck, and a bunch more upgrades. If Kyla wants to make the Team, and have Individual Olympic Success, she needs to upgrade. Amazing form isn't going to get her by this quad, it did last quad, but it won't this one.
