Thank you for you insights, overall agree except for the line ups of bars I would definitely use Suni over Sky in the 3 ups 3 counts because she is increasing her difficulty and I feel like she's much more reliable on this event she is georgous and has not a lot of deduction
fair! I had her replacing sky as well, possibly but not for certain on that point but now she will definitely probably be in bar lineup as skies unfortunately injured
@@Ayybraiebraie Yes now the decision is easier but when I wrote the comment I did not know that Skie was injured :( I would still have used Suni for bars in the 3 up 3 counts, anyway thanks again for the content your vidéo is great and well thought
Thanks!
Simone, Shi, Jade, Suni and Jordan. I think where people are not factoring in, is that Jade is Olympic floor champion. It isn’t all about raw scores. I think that’s where this uses a small sample size.
Kayla is pushed and overrated imo.
I feel like Skye and Kayla get in their heads a lot.
Absolutely and that’s why Leanne is way more reliable than Kayla… they will see at trials…
@@charleshagebusch705 Absolutely do not agree. Kayla has been the most consistent gymnast all season and Leann has fallen several times. She is beautiful to watch when she is on- but she has not been as reliable as Kayla.
She’s not over rated. She placed 3rd at champs
@@Ayybraiebraie she would have placed 4th… and not only that but she only placed 3rd with others having several falls
Make Jordan an alternate if for nothing else, she brings the team morale....Jordan is a breath of fresh air🎉
With or without Skye injury I always thought/ think the 5 are Simone, Suni, Shilesse, Jade & Jordan
Definently. If Skye did not or does not have a bomb Trials, she does not make the team. These are my top five.
Definitely my top 5. I think where people are not factoring in, is that Jade is Olympic floor champion. It isn’t all about raw scores. I think that’s where this uses small sample size.
With the Injury to Sky, how does this change your team?
I show that at the end!
Braie, you have limited your vision to one competition, the team selection committee are looking at also Classic, past Worlds results as well and what trajectory the athlete is going in= have they already peaked or are they improving???!!!!! I have never seen Skye on the team because of her balking at past Worlds...I have seen Simone, suni, Shi (health permitting) Jordan and either Kayla or Jade, depending upon how they perform and upgrades....I will never rule out Hezly or Leanna, depending upon how they perform and certainly never forget Tiana!!!
Sky was also injured in the past yes? And for they are taking a lot into consideration!
Hey! Love the content Braie. One thing I find interesting is youre experience coaching! You do have a good gymnastics perspective to make these teams, so it's interesting to hear your perspective
Thank you!
Your choices are really close to mine. I struggle with Kayla/ Jordan too, but I think Jade just has to perform well and she’s on.
I am NOT a Gymnastics expert, but this girl by name Trinity Thomas should have been part of the Us Team. She is just a delight to watch. And he landings are just out of this world on all the 4 categories. She was getting Perfect 10s with the Florida Gators. I think she lands even better than Simone Biles, My opinion
Trinity had an injury at the last competition. Is she competing at Olympic trials?
She doesn’t have the routines to make the team unfortunately. She is beautiful and was great in ncaa but it’s not the same as elite.
I don’t think she qualified to trials.
I'd be glad to present a comparison of skills, what sport are you familiar with?
Thanks for posting. We want them all to make it, but that's the game. They just can't. So sorry for Skye, but it leaves the field wide open.
Braie, that was my choice too until I heard of the news about Skye. I don't know the update, but seems like she's going to need time.
It's too late. Skye injured 😩 Jade's Amanar can be her 1st vault. Leanne's Cheng may be the next game changer if it's not 1 arm.
Love it, Braie! 😇❤
Rebeca has a better cheng than Simone but Simone is a better vaulter overall.
Love the new video, Braie! I can't wait for the next one! 😇❤
hey, braie! love your vids and so glad u are back! i have been SO close to my kip since last summer. i extend my glide, bring my toes to the bar, slide my legs up, but then i have trouble with the stem rise shift! i also like to drop my feet instead of holding them up when pushing my shoulders forward. do you have any tips/drills i can do? i also have two injured hip flexors so that makes conditioning and drills limited. thanks and have a great day!
Speaking of Jordan chiles I actually went to the same gym as her we would talk here and there and we had the same teacher and went to the same school
Omg I can’t tell you how helpful these videos are tysm!

i used this for dance lol
I'd buy the tshirt
Do you have any advice for piking on the upswing of the giant? When trying to do the "toes over the bar" motion, I end up piking my hips almost 90 degrees.
Fastest google search of my life: “Simone Biles butt bounce” LOL!
I think she fits her butt bounce in whenever time allows. I thought she did it last year or this year during one of the floor exercises
Oh ok!!
@@Ayybraiebraie found it! she did it in the floor final last year at worlds. but yes, i agree, we don't see it as often anymore
Or when you forget ur choreo after falling lmao
Frrrr there’s a girl who has like a rock and roll routine in my group and we’re all dancing right along with her lol
Any tips on overcoming a fear of round off back handspring? I know it’s stupid and I should just be able to do it but im terrified even with spot for smr
Thanks for the great tips
"The hip flexor is not like a rubber band..." "Shut up man!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just knew someone was gonna say something so I had to tell him to shut up in advance😂😂
