The 2016 Pacific Rim Championships are in the books. It was a very exciting weekend filled with top-notch performances from gymnasts looking to build confidence on the road to Rio.
Below you will find the first place routines via USA Gymnastics from the much-anticipated senior women's event final. Although Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez didn't compete, the competition was a fun grand finale to the weekend that allowed a few U.S. athletes to get a little more unexpected experience in the limelight in this Olympic year. We think they handled it tremendously well!
Shallon Olsen (CAN) - Vault 1, Score: 14.950 (5.8, 9.150)
For her first vault, Olson performed a double twisting Yurchenko with great rise off the table and a nearly stuck landing.
Shallon Olsen (CAN) - Vault 2, Score: 14.550 (5.9, 8.650)
Olson showed a strong Khorkina for her second vault, locking in the gold and proving she is definitely one to look out for on this event.
Ashton Locklear - Bars, Score: 15.625 (6.5, 9.125)
Locklear has been inredibly impressive in her two competitions of 2016. She took gold in the event final in Jesolo and now adds a second title. Her connections are incredibly difficult and she swings with such easy and precision.
Ragan Smith - Beam, Score: 15.225 (6.4, 8.825)
Smith was added to the beam final after Biles and Hernandez were pulled out, giving her the opporuntity to show her big skills and prove yet again why she is a top contender for Rio--even as a first-year senior.
Aly Raisman - Floor, Score: 15.100 (6.2, 8.900)
The defending Olympic Champion just keeps racking up the floor golds in 2016. Coming off the title in Jesolo, Raisman is the one to beat on this event. She didn't perform her signature front layout out of her Arabian double front in her first pass, but the tumbling overall was outstanding as usual.
