Here's the hitting percentages for everyone that I've calculated: Glass (23 sets): 8-0-13 (0.615) Adams (18 sets): 44-5-73 (0.534) Larson (23 sets): 62-13-160 (0.306) Murphy (22 sets): 54-22-129 (0.248) Dietzen (5 sets): 6-0-14 (0.429) Hill (23 sets): 66-21-156 (0.289) Akinradewo (23 sets): 66-14-113 (0.460) Robinson (8 sets hitting, 23 played): 19-2-29 (0.436) Lowe (15 sets): 21-10-45 (0.244) Wow. Shocking when you see the numbers like that... Hill hitting only slightly better than Murphy. Murphy's numbers are buoyed by hitting .750 against Puerto Rico. |

Doesn't mater who's on the right unless Glass can set it consistently. Some of those sets are just terrible. If ya'll can't see that then you're blind.

I hope that we do not come up short on the gold because we didn't have a strong enough opposite based upon all the possible choices Karch had for this quad. I am sure you would be saying this crap even if we lost and Murphy was awesome. Get over it, we win or lose as a team. Maybe if your golden girl understood this she would be there. |

I think the whole problem with the Glass-Murphy "connection" is how fast the offense is. Almost everything is a shoot set and a lot of them are not getting high enough and when there is a good block there its a trap set. I'm SOOOO nervous for this next round!!!! Which Serbia team will show up?

Not sure that's true about Simone... (Go USA) Oh you're not? Because it is. Enter the gymnastics community. She was definitely the favorite, but balance beam has never been her most consistent event. She's had major errors on it at each world championships but has her best routine in the final. Here she hadn't missed a routine yet so it was bound to happen. Also, both Laurie Hernandez and Sanne Wevers had been closing the gap in start value and have been extremely consistent in execution on beam in comparison to Simone. She was the favorite, but no one who actually follows and knows anything about gymnastics thought it was a sure thing. Actually, nothing on beam is ever a sure thing, and certainly not in this case. Wevers had the highest start score: 16.6 to Biles' 16.5 and Hernandez' 16.4. |

Right, which would have matched Biles' planned 16.6 (the punch front that she under rotated was meant to be connected to a jump, for +.1), so it was down to execution. Not a sure thing. |
