Dream podiums for 2013 WAG Worlds

Disclaimer: This is my dream, so it’s not going to be super realistic, but I also tried not to be super unrealistic, either. Also, not having someone in a podium doesn’t mean I don’t like them. There are more great gymnasts than there are medals.

AA

1. Simone Biles—I’ve loved her since I first saw her as a junior. She’s really a rock star.

2. Tan Sixin—I love her style on every event, and I think she deserves more recognition.

3. Viktoria Komova—Pretty gymnastics with high difficulty.

VT

1. McKayla Maroney (with her TTY)—If she stands up a TTY and her second vault, I think that would be amazing. If she gets it, I bet it will be just as good as her Amanar.

2. Phan Thi Ha Thanh—Nice style, and I like to see her get another medal to encourage other gymnasts from smaller countries.

3. Oksana Chusovitina—I will put Chuso on every dream vault podium until she retires.

UB

1. He Kexin—I love He so much!!! She is one of my all-time favorite bar workers.

2. Huang Huidan—She has some great difficulty, but also great execution. I think she could become known as one of the great bar workers.

3. Aliya Mustafina—I like her routine, and I would be disappointed if a routine as dynamic as that, executed as she normally does, didn’t get a medal.

BB

1. TAN SIXIN (this is the one I want the most)—Favorite beam routine, and super stylish.

2. Katelyn Ohashi—She has been really hyped up as a junior, and I want her to have a chance to shine in senior competition. She also has the potential to have a really difficult routine.

3. Sui Liu—I love her beam routine, and think she executes it really well.

FX

1. Victoria Moors—She’ll probably have the DDLO, which is super cool, and it would be great for Canada to have more success after their very successful Olympics.

2. Simone Biles—Crazy tumbling, but also has a good presence. Very fun to watch.

3. Zeng Siqi—A great performer with a lot of potential.
