TEAM USA RIO OLYMICS 2016 *Predictions*



There is still room for new faces. I believe in surprises. Here are my predictions for Rio Olympics:


Lauren Hernandez: This lady has lots of tucked in potentials. She is great on all four events but US will use her on bars and floors. She has much potentials to improve her bars to 15 point and her floor work is classic

Norah Flately: Her beam is world class, beautiful and packed with difficulties. She can also contribute on bars but need more upgrades.
Gabrielle Douglas: This lady is good. After a long brake since the London Olympics, gabby came up strong and fit especially on beam. USA will definitely use her on beam bars vault (if she has her Amanar). Her great bars will be need if they are ready by the time of the selection.

Alexandra Raisman: Another great come back girl. Can you imagine, First international competition after more than 2 years and still took home bronze?. Well, the US will need her on beam, vault and floors and I see lots of potentials and upgrades soon.
Balilie Key: First year senior and one of the greatest gymnasts in her time. She is definitely going for the all-round because she is great in all four events. If she upgrades her vault to an Amanar, then, the sky is her limit

Simone Biles: This lady is unbeatable, sometimes I watch her with my mouth wide open. Just wonder how she manages to make the most difficult skills in women artistic gymnastics look so easy. Simone is a deposit of talent and team USA will need here everywhere. In fact, if this young lady remains healthy, she will definitely be the 2016 Olympic all-round, floor and vault champion. No doubt about that.


Other Rio potential includes:

Nia Dennis: Nia need to step up her game especially at the uneven bars where USA IS weak. She is great on all four events but hasn’t seen much from her lately.

Jazmin Foberg: Eyes are still on her as she is great on vault. 2016 Olympics is still enough time to see more of her.

Mackyla Skinner: USA will need her vaults and floor but unfortunately she needs to clean up her floor routine for a decent execution score.
