Micha is the official alternate Yaaayyy, so happy for her. Perhaps this is more telling about how Poulter's health is coming along? Am I reading too much into it?

I think it's just insurance in case Poulter gets hurt in the next month or so. If she couldn't go at all, they could have dropped her before the deadline. Also, being an alternate after you already helped the program win its first gold medal is a pretty bitter pill to swallow.

The alternate is not in the village right? Does she get to do the opening ceremony etc? i think it just depends on if the USOPC has room. im not sure about the ceremonies. Aw I hope she get to do the whole experience

I think it’s 2 things; 1)Poulters knee is still tenuous and 2) Her level of play/connection when she is able to go is a significant improvement over the others. I hope this also means KP’s knee is coming along enough to be confident in her availability…. Wouldn’t be excited about going at Chinas block with just Avery; Gov & KRob.

Was that supposed to say July? Tbh I misread it as July. But that coincides with the break between Leg 2 and Leg 3 of VNL doesn't it?

“There’s certainly a reasonable chance that Jordyn Poulter, as she was in Tokyo, is part of our starting group,” Kiraly added. “Even though it’s not critical that she’s one or the other. One setter will be a starter and the other will be a game-changer. That could even change as the tournament unfolds. But Jordyn Poulter, at this point today, (July 1), is not able to do everything that people who are fully returned can do. … So is it optimum? No. It’s not optimum for Jordyn not to be able to do that yet, nor for her teammates.”
ok....

I really feel for Jordyn.
It just sounds like she isn’t going to be ready in time.
I think Karch should just move forward with Lauren and Micha.
