goes as planned, Gabrielle Douglas and Aly
Raisman will make their first appearances since
the 2012 Olympics in elite level competition. Gymnasts will be performing
new skills and routines in their first test of the
year. National Team Coordinator Martha Karolyi
will use this competition to help
field teams for
later in the year and gymnasts will feel the
pressure to prove themselves early on.

she stacks up in the senior field.

good impression as the seniors. The top juniors in
