Will Aly finally get her AA medal, and will it be silver

I really hope Aly can win the AA silver. Then she can happily retire without any more demons about her career that keep bringing her back.

Rio 2016 - MAG Team Final

So I think I might be a new MAG fan after yesterday as the competition is so much closer than it is within the WAG system right now; after a pretty shaky day from all teams, sans the US, who will come out on top in Rio? Can the US men maintain their consistency or are China and Japan going to step up their game. And how about Brazil?
Rio 2016 - MAG Team Final

Should China and Russia even bother showing up? Any others in the AA?

I genuinely think the TF and AA are predetermined at this point

How anyone can justify what happened in this rotation?

I'm honestly stunned
Should China and Russia even bother showing up? Any others in the AA?

2020 Rules for 2016 Games

If the rules for the 2020 Games [with regards to teams consisting of 4 All-Around gymnasts and 2 specialists] were imposed in THESE 2016 games, how do you think the composition of the teams would differ?

For USA:

4 Team Members are obvious. Simone, Aly, Gabby, and Laurie. Would love to see them duke it out for two spots.
2 Specialists: Madison (UB); maybe Skinner (VT)?

Maybe these rules should've been implemented earlier to avoid the whole Laurie debacle.
