2012 Olympic Team Prediction

My Olympic team has changed so much over the past 2 years, it's crazy! There are so many gymnasts that I never even considered in the past that are really starting to prove themselves now. There are also many that I expected to be on the team, that I'm sadly not considering anymore. After classics, I think my team is set. I believe this is a good idea of who we will see in London.

Jordyn Wiebr
Gabby Douglas
Aly Raisman
Mckayla Maroney
And a bar specialist- Either Nastia Liukin, Rebecca Bross, or Anna Li (If she can hit!)

The alternates would be Kyla Ross, Sarah Finnegan, and Sabrina Vega. (If Rebecca doesn't make the team, she will be the 2nd alternate)

We all know the USA is extremely deep and a lot of great girls will be left home. What really gets me though is imagining people like Alicia Sacramone, Shawn Johnson, Bridget Sloan, etc not making the team. In 2010, I thought Alicia was a lock. I couldn't imagine Shawn Johnson the world champion and Olympian not making the next Olympics. And the 2009 World Champion isn't really a consideration for the team? The 2 time junior national champion, ended up as an alternate? Oh and what about Chellsie Memmel? It's just so weird to me! If only these girls had dual citizenship! Another country would be grateful to have them!

Then we have the people that I never really considered, that now actually have a shot. (If only the depth of USA wasn't so deep!) Girls like, Kennedy Baker, Elizabeth Price, Sarah Finnegan, and Mckenzie Wofford have really impressed me lately. They could even contend for that final spot, or at least become an alternate.

So there is a lot of possibility's. That is just my opinion on who I think will make the team and anything can happen between now and July 1st!
