Here are the AA and team results for the seniors in Jeselo. Aly Raisman won the AA and the US took first in the team competition. Aly beat Ksenia Semenova and Ferrari by 3 tenths less then a point so good job for her. The juniors are going on now.
Other notable results are
Kytra Hunter’s scored a 14.2 with a step out of bounds.
Morgan Smith finished 4th AA with some pretty low scores (all in the 13 range) but she might work in a team event.
Cassie Whitcomb only competed bars and floor where she went out of bounds but her score on bars of 14.2 was forth.
Macko Caquatto finished 2nd on bars but only with a 14,350
Tatiana Nabieva won bars with a 15.150 I almost missed her down at the bottom (she only competed two events but had strong scores on both.
Aly had a great vault and floor winning both events but only scored a 13.700 on bars.
The most interesting result to me is Macko Caquatto. If she didn’t have a huge meltdown on floor she could have been only 4 tenths behind Aly in the AA. That bodes really well for her at nationals. I must say Macko is one of those gymnasts I am just not impressed with. Before this competition she would be my pick of the gymnast most likely to just go to school but these judges liked her so maybe she will be my Tabitha Yim. (long story will explain someday.lol) She had a 4 tenths deduction (what is that two feet out of bounds?)
All around and

I saw the scores and thought you should note that Kytra came in 2nd on vault & Macko came in 3rd on vault as well as 1st on beam, thought you might have missed that. It does look like scoring was considerably lower at this meet than the Tyson American Cup, makes you wonder if the scores weren’t jacked a little bit for that meet.

I loved this group of girls. They aren’t Bridget Sloan or Becca Bross, but they got the job done. It’s nice to see some fresh athletes out there. Hope more videos get posted!
