Simone Biles
Brenna Dowell
Gabby Douglas
Aly Raisman
Mykayla Skinner
Maggie Nichols
Madison Kocian
Alyssa Baumann
and
Bailie Key
are the non-travelling alternates.
I think that there's no doubt that Aly, Simone, Gabby, and Mykayla should be on the team and will contribute in the team final. Madison Kocian also will be a HUGE asset on bars where hopefully she can medal in an individual final. I really wish Bailie could be on the team for I also love her bars and beam work... But, hopefully she'll keep training hard and upgrade in time for Rio. Alyssa would really help on beam in the team final (if she wasn't the alternate) because the only two athletes I could see helping on beam are Aly and Simone... and possibly Maggie or Gabby. Brenna and Gabby should also be good on bars in the team final. Listed below is MY opinion on what the team final lineup should be:
VT UB BB FX
Maggie Brenna Maggie Mykayla
Mykayla Gabby Simone Simone
Simone Madison Aly Aly
I know you're all going to scream at me about beam... Like WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT GABBY IN THE BEAM LINEUP?!?! Honestley, I can see Maggie being more consistent on beam... Also, I know I listed 7 athletes... I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT FOR LIKE 30 MINUTES OF "who should the alternate be?". And I couldn't pick one person so I just put all 7 in. I know you're not allowed to do that put whatever for now..... In the comments below, let me know what your lineup would be...
