Who is going to San Jose?

I just thought I would start a thread about who is going to San Jose. Last time I got to meet a few people from this board and we had a great time! I'm just so excited that I can't contain myself at the moment! With P and G's over, it's time to look forward to the next two weeks!
Who is going to San Jose?

At this point on projected most likely WAG Olympic team which of the 5 sits out bars

I think this merits its own thread since assuming the team ends up as the current projected one by most of Biles, Raisman, Hernandez, Douglas, Kocian/Locklear (whichever one, it doesnt really make a difference on this topic) which one will sit out bars in prelims. I guess all 5 are possible although IMO Biles and Kocian/Locklear while not impossible to be sat from bars in prelims are least likely, and it will probably be one of Hernandez, Douglas, or Raisman. Raisman is the weakest bar worker clearly but she just came 2nd AA at Nationals and if she repeats at the Trials it will makes things even more complicated. If Nichols or heaven forbid Skinner make the team they are the automatic to sit bars I suspect, even though Nichols is better than Raisman on bars.

Non-gym Sports

While awaiting the US men's trials to start, I'm watching the US diving trials. Anyone else watching?

I'm from Indiana and it sounds like about 75% of the divers here are also from Indiana, so it's kind of cool.

But I figured we could start a thread devoted to other sports as the Olympics roll in. I'm probably an annoying "4 year fan" to most sports in the Olympics and would love to hear some insight if anyone follows other sports.

2016 P&G Championships - June 23-26 in St Louis

It's (finally)(already) here! I figured we should probably make a separate thread for the meet instead of publishing info in the American thread. We have a separate thread already for MAG's trials, but I included their schedule here as well.

Here is the schedule (all times central):

Thursday, June 23
1:00 pm – Jr. Men’s Competition – Day 1
7:00 pm – Sr. Men’s U.S. Olympic Trials – Day 1

Friday, June 24
1:00 pm – Jr. Women’s Competition – Day 1
7:30 pm – Sr. Women’s Competition – Day 1

Saturday, June 25
1:00 pm – Jr. Men’s Competition – Final Day
7:00 pm – Sr. Men’s U.S. Olympic Trials – Final Day

Sunday, June 26
1:00 pm – Jr. Women’s Competition – Final Day
7:30 pm – Sr. Women’s Competition – Final Day

NBC
NBC will air the final three days of competition from St. Louis live. In addition, NBCSN will provide live television coverage of the first night of men’s competition. The schedule is listed below.

June 23 – Men’s Olympic Trials, 8:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN
June 24 – Women’s P&G Championships, 9 p.m. ET, NBC
June 25 – Men’s Olympic Trials, 9 p.m. ET, NBC
June 26 – Women’s P&G Championships, 9 p.m. ET, NBC

And don't forget the Karolyi Ranch documentary on June 24 at 8 p.m ET on NBC before Day 1 of the women's competition!

More details on NBCSN coverage: http://ift.tt/28RoUgK

NBC Live Extra
Live simulcast coverage of all four nights of competition will be available through NBC Live Extra on iOS and Android devices, or online at http://ift.tt/1lojxcm. The schedule is listed below:

June 23 – Men’s Olympic Trials, 8 p.m. ET
June 24 – Women’s P&G Championships, 8:30 p.m. ET
June 25 – Men’s Olympic Trials, 8 p.m. ET
June 26 – Women’s P&G Championships, 8:30 p.m. ET

USAG Webcasts:
USAG has confirmed on Twitter there would be NO podium training live stream :(

They will however, cover the Juniors, with commentators Sam Peszek, Evan Heiter and Raj Bhavsar like in the previous years.
The webcasts will be available worldwide and free.

June 23 – Junior Men – 2 p.m. ET
June 24 – Junior Women – 2 p.m. ET
June 25 – Junior Men – 2 p.m. ET
June 26 – Junior Women – 2 p.m. ET

USAG has also announced they will have an international feed! But just for the women, since the Men's Trials fall under USOC and they do not have the rights for that.

We learned today that Jazzy Foberg (MG Elite) has withdrawn from P&Gs due to a nagging ankle injury, but she plans on coming back to Elite next season.

P&G's scratches

The first scratches of nationals are Juniors Megan Freed and Victoria Nguyen.

Chow's girls have spent the last 2 years injury ridden. Such a shame.
