Alexandra Raismam vs Gabby Douglas

Tweet

Looking into the Rio Olympics, it is likely that only one of these two time Olympic gold medalist will join the Olympic team after a long break in their career. Here is the differences, strength, weaknesses and possibilities of the two.
BARS:
Aly Raisman is weak on bars; she struggles between the 13 points and 14 points. We usually notice flexed feet on bars and her form is not very wonderful. Mean while, on the other hand, Gabby is a star on bars.
At the moment, she has not yet reached her peak but definitely will before the Rio Olympics. Bars are an obvious edge Gabby has over Aly. Gabby is strong on bars while Aly is weak on bars.
BEAM:
The both girls are strong on the beam although gabby have shown some inconsistency at the past but we hope maturity will play a very big role this time. Meanwhile much is expected of Aly who medaled on beam at Olympics.
FOOR:
Aly is a tumbling power here. It seems she has all her skills back and ready for more upgrades. This is an obvious edge she has over Gabby who does not have many difficulties on floors
VAULT:
As it stands, both Aly and Gabby are doing the DTY and will definitely upgrade prior to the Olympics. We all know they are capable of 2 and half twisting yurchenko vaulting.
Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas are back to elite gymnastics and are looking strong making the Olympic team selection more difficult for Martha karolyi and her team. There lots of painful decisions to be made next year like; Bailie Key, Simone Biles, Norah Flately, Nia Dennis, Lauren Hernandez, Mckyla Skinner, Kyla Ross and possibly some newbies with just five spots to fill. Selection get more difficult with each Olympics and a team of five will make it harder for some athletes Olympics dream to come true. Well, it all boils down to the person with more difficulties, executions, consistency and above all the person that stays healthy.
2016 Olympics is still a long time for an athlete to prove herself but I think every other person should be trying to gain a spot on the second position because the is position is already taken my our great Simone Biles if she remains healthy.
As for Gabby and Aly, the road is not going to be an easy one since the younger ones are up for the challenge. Lauren Hernandez just came into the picture and is at the top of the chat and we are yet to see more surprises this year and next. Meanwhile, we still have the US classics, the P&G championships to look forward to as to either narrow or widen our predictions. Now its up to the comeback girls to put up much efforts especially Aly Raisman on bars. Godluck to Aly and Gabby as they continue climbing the ladder of their carier
