U.S. Olympic Trials: Quick Recap Night 1

-Nastia bent her knees to avoid a fall on bars, and then sat down a double front dismt for a 14.05
-Jordyn Wieber in first with Gabby trailing by 3 tenths, and Aly in third with a 60.3 for third. I think these three are still locks for the team.
-As usual McKayla had the best individual score of the night with a 16.1 for her Amanar on vault, but she was otherwise shaky, with a fall on both beam and bars. Her mistakes have opened the door for Elizabeth Price, another great vaulter, to possibly make the team.
-Bridget Sloan fell on a release while training bars a little before the competition started, and ended up at the hospital with an injured elbow. She withdrew from the trials.
-Kyla Ross did well tonight with the exception of a few missed beam connections. This didn't hurt her much though because I don't think anyone had a clean beam routine tonight! Wobbles and missed connections were all over the place.
-Rebecca only scored a 15.3 for her bars, and then fell on the Patterson. Sad to see a gymnast who started out as the star of this quad fizzle out after that terrible vault injury at the 2010 Visa Champs.

No other major suprises. I can't wait to see if Nastia finally hits a bar routine (tomorrow night will be her last chance), and to see what Elizabeth Price will do. She actually has a real shot at the team right now.
