#franklycats

what I like about them: her beam

what I dislike about them: Not a huge fan of her form on floor

favourite leos they’ve worn: this one

best events: Beam 

best routine on each event: vault, bars, beam, floor

potential upgrades: I see her probably trying an amanar, on bars, she’ll probably connect her park with the maloney and I hope she does an arabian on beam. On floor, probably not much, just cleaning up her landings and floor

likelihood of making rio: I think her chances aren’t that big cause there are so many AA’ers in usa and she doesn’t have a standout event.

7. Which floor routine are you most excited to see?

LARISA if she has a new one? I didn’t watch her at that Romania France thing <3 

12. Which new senior will make the best worlds debut?

Hmmmm I hope it will be Flavia 

16. Who will be competing on the Russian team?

I kinda think it will be Mustafina Komova Paseka Afanasyeva Spiridonova theeeen I just dunno between Tutkhalyan and Kharenkova like I would have said Kharenkova cos she’s more consistent but she’s downgraded? Obvs if Mustafina doesn’t go they’ll both go I think

20. Will Bailie Key win an individual medal?

I kind of don’t think so, because I think she’ll struggle qualifying for aa in the top two from USA which is where she has the potential to medal, and she might qualify to efs but I don’t think she’ll medal this year no

my favourite routine of hers: worlds ef just because it was such a great moment

fave leo: stripy patriotic one wooo

worst leo:thisis one of my favorite leos actually but I don’t love it on her

what I like most about her gymnastics: the way she pulls her arms back on her pike jaeger, her inbars, her beam choreo

what I dislike most about her gymnastics: that one low bar handstand she always misses, her inconsistency on beam, her sketchy ring leap

my favourite routine of hers - London 2012 UB EF

fave leo - ^that one

worst leo - didn’t like the swan one she wore last year

what I like most about her gymnastics - the variety of skill she’s competed on bars

what I dislike most about her gymnastics - I’m not really a fan of her beam

in no order:

flavia saraiva

catherine lyons

ellie downie

roxana popa

mai murakami

I really like Norah Flatley :) 

My favourite aspect of her gymnastics is obviously her beam work, it's lovely and I could talk about it forever but I won't. Also she has lovely lines on uneven bars and great leg form, and her DLO is gorgeous and not at all arch-y like many others. She also has a nice swing for such a tiny girl.

Least favourite? Well she never finishes in handstand on bars, so that irks me a bit. But mostly just that she needs to upgrade both her tumbling and especially her vault. If she wants to be competitive when she becomes a senior, especially in the AA, she will need more than a FTY for sure.
