Olympic Team Predictions!!!!!

So for the longest of times, I've been putting this subject off. But now, with Rio in roughly 10 months (HOLY CRAP RIGHT?!) I decided that I should pounce onto this subject right now. So without further ado, I present my dream team for Rio 2016!


Simone Biles

Everyone has Simone Biles on their team predictions. The only way Simone will not make this team is if she has an injury. She has been peaking beautifully. Thanks to her coach, Aimeee Boorman. Simone has won everything she has entered in the last two years. Classics, Nationals, Worlds, and is fully expected to win the Olympics. Simone  will be on that team! And will probably win everything except bars.


Aly Raisman

Aly Raisman is looking insanely strong! And, shes really smart. She proved it when she changed her routine around after she fell on her layout to split jump on night one of nationals. Aly will take the team captain role like she did in London, if she makes this team. And if Marta was truly smart, she would add her because she is epicly consistent and can gather the troops going into the last rotation, after all, she was trained by one of the best to do so: teammate Alicia Sacramone. 

Maggie Nichols

Before Nationals, Maggie wasnt really on my radar. But she came right out and was leading for Simone for the first three rotations of the competition. Thats when it really clicked to  me that she is a forced to be wreckoned with.

Kyla Ross

I know that people are saying Kyla's done, but I dont believe them. If she puts the double lay back into the bar routine instead of that double front, shes gonna be the best bar worker team USA has. Her beam was off the charts Day 2 and I personally believe that she can do it again! Kyla's consistency can be through the roof, and even though she may not get into the second all around slot, she will be there in team and individual event finals 


Ashton Locklear

Even though I said Kyla would a good bar worker, she wouldn't be considered as a specialist since she will probably vie for an AA spot in Qualifs. But Ashton is the definition of the specialist. She hones her focus on bars and excells at them. Im so excited because together on bars, Ashton and Kyla will bring in huge scores.
