Welcome to the
Unofficial Message Board for Oregon State Gymnastics!
The next WC is in late November in Cottbus ... so after Worlds in early October.
Results
Jade now has 2 WC wins on Vault & one 2nd place finish...
Only 2 other gymnasts have a WC win (=30pts)... Rebecca Andrade of Brazil won in Cottbus (14.728, & qualifying w/14.766) where Jade was 2nd (14.516, 25pts) ... and Seoyeong Yeo of Korea won in Melbourne (14.266, & qualifying w/14.4) ... either of them would have to win 2 more WCs of the 4 remaining... to earn 90pts & pass Jade's current total of 85pts.
Andrade may make a Brazilian Olympic team of 4 ... if/when they qualify as one of 9 teams (after already qualified teams USA, RUS, & CHI) at the 2019 World Championships in Stuttgart in October. If she does, and I think if she competes at Worlds where Brazil qualifies,... she will no longer be eligible, & her 30pts would go to Jade to give her 90.
The other top contenders for Jade's place at the Olympics are Maria Paseka of RUS with a 2nd place finish... so she'd need 3 wins in the 4 remaining WCs to tie (if, as likely, Jade gets to 90pts)... the same is true for Oksana Chusovitina of UZB who has two 2nd place finishes.
If they did get 90pts, & Jade had 90pts, then it would go to the (2nd) tie-breaker "sum of the 3 scores"... Jade would win over Oksana, but Maria might win with Jade's current 3 scores. If Jade didn't get the 90pts, these two could tie with 2 wins in last 4 WCs... & the same tie-breaker would occur.
Go Beavs!!,
