2013 Secret Classic
For being the year after the Olympic games, I was impressed with the difficulty level and amount of unique skills being thrown at this competition. Although there were a lot of falls and mistakes, this is only the first meet in the summer elite season and I'm sure Nationals will go a lot smoother.
In the junior session, it was great to see all the up and coming talent and future stars of USA Gymnastics. As many expected, Bailie Key of Texas Dreams won the all around title despite being sick and almost withdrawing from the all around competition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3egqEDn8t4
With the new quadrennium under way, it's an exciting time in the gymnastics world. This is the time where many new faces emerge and decisions are made from the stars of the past. With two returning Olympians and several new faces that show tremendous potential, creating the perfect four member World team will be a difficult task for the national team staff. Here are our picks for the 2013 United States World team.
Simone Biles
Kyla Ross
Brenna Dowel
Mckayla Maroney
Simone Biles
A name that seems to be appearing on everybody's world team prediction is Simone Biles. If Simone can avoid injury and stay consistent in these next few months, she is most definitely a lock for the USA team. Simone currently holds the highest all around score out of every gymnast this year, with the 60.400 she posted at Jesolo, which proves that she is a true all around contender. Simone could also contend for a spot in the vault and floor finals and could easily medal if she hits.
