My Predictions
I think that all of the gymnasts performed well in qualifications. I don’t think there is someone in the field that can do significantly better than they did, and I think the top girls are all pretty solid competitors. So I am actually going to go with the order that they qualified in.
- Simone Biles
- Sandra Izbasa
- Larisa Iordache
