SAN JOSE, Calif. — Adrenaline is high when competing in front of 17,000 fans, but it’s through the roof when it’s the last chance to secure one of five spots on the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team.
Sunday concluded the two-night U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Olympic Trials. After an exciting night of competition at the SAP Center, five gymnasts were named to the team by the Selection Committee.
Future Ute MyKayla Skinner anxiously waited 30 minutes after the meet as the Selection Committee configured the roster. But despite her strong fourth-place finish at the trials, Skinner was left off the five-woman team and instead named an alternate.
