Would people be interested in a thread where we keep track of D-scores for the US gymnasts for this year since we know the olympic selection will be very difficult? Would love a master thread that compares the top gymnasts of the other countries, but we have nowhere near the resources that we have for the USA gymnasts here in the USA.
I'd like to update this as the gymnasts compete more during the year. I want to make it realistic, so I don't want it to merely be planned D-scores, but more so skills and connections that have been competed and credited. Once they add in difficulty in competition, I'll update their D-scores. For a new routine, we can do the routine breakdowns. Let me know if I make mistakes, or if my terminology is off (particularly on dance skills).
So far for this year, we've seen Gabby Douglas, Maggie Nichols, and Madison Kocian. After Jesolo and Pac Rims we should have D-scores for most of the top contenders.
Current Standings:
1. Douglas = 5.8 + 6.4 + 6.5 + 6.0 = 24.7
2. Nichols = 5.8 + 6.0 + 6.3 + 6.3 = 24.4
3. Kocian = 0 + 6.6 + 6.3 + 0 = 12.9
