U.S. World Team Trials

Jessica is in Texas watching live. Spencer is at home watching the stream. Here's how to ask questions live. We discussed:

The teams!!!
- Worlds: Simone Biles, Skye Blakely, Shilese Jones, Joscelyn Roberson, and Leanne Wong. Traveling Replacement Athlete: Kayla DiCello
- Pan Ams: Jordan Chiles, Kayla DiCello, Kaliya Lincoln, Zoe Miller, Tiana Sumanasekera. Individual Qualifier: Katelyn Jong. Non-Traveling Alternates: Alicia Zhou, Eveylynn Lowe, Nola Matthews.
The real reason Jade Carey isn't on the Pan Ams roster (she's heading to the Swi$$ Cup)
The difference between artistry and execution.
Scott Bregman joined the show to provide his insights, including his extra time with Simone.
We create our lineups.
We discuss who might get a bobble on our World Controversy tree next year.
Jessica shares some of the conversations she had with the coaches and athletes.
And of course, everything you couldn’t see on the FlipNow live stream that happened in the gym

Here’s how our event coverage works:

1. We give everyone the main headlines in the first 10-15 minutes.

2. We continue our conversation exclusively with our Club members.

3. What if I want to hear the rest of it and all the years of bonus content and interviews? All you have to do is Join the Club.

The 2023 US Classic taught us many lessons, including:

Simone is the GOAT of both gymnastics and quotes
Kidneys are optional!
The Olympians are facing real challenges to their thrones
Plus, the meat is good, the art is good, owning your own gymnastics is good, and not showing Kaliya Lincoln was NBC's loss
Heading to championships, we look at who is under pressure to deliver a big competition, which elements are cursed and must be removed, and the possible problems an all-around based selection process would cause
