I haven't been on in a while and I apologize for this being late. Anyway, the American Cup took place in Chicago during February, and is the stepping stones for this next quad leading to London. The American Commenters obviously favored Jordyn Wieber and Bridget Sloan. Both performed great rountines.
Jordan Wieber- Talk about a photocopy of Shawn Johnson, her rountines are practically the same! But, unlike Shawn, Jordyn seems to be trying to improve her flexibility and is aware that she is lacking. Nonetheless she stole the competition after landing a scary vault (2.5 Yurchanko) with straight legs. Her balance beam may not have the difficulty of a Nastia Liukin or Shawn Johnson quite yet, but it surely has the "wowing" factor. Look out for this girl in 2012
Bridget Sloan- Bridget did fairly well, after being on an Olympic Team she seems to not really know what she wants to do. (Along with Nastia Liukin.) Which in my opinion, puts her at a disadvantage because if she doesn't know what she wants to do, how is she suppose to find the drive to continue. Her rountines were great, yet she still followed 13 year old Jordyn Wieber. But who knows, she may be a force to reckon with at this years World Championships
