Ginnastica, US Classic 2017 – Questa notte si fa sul serio! Le nuove big americane in gara verso i Mondiali

Questa notte si inizia a fare davvero sul serio. Dopo una lunga pausa si torna in pedana e il mirino è ormai puntato sui Mondiali 2017 di ginnastica artistica. A essere protagoniste saranno le stelle americane che parteciperanno agli US Classic, ultima gara di selezione per i Campionati Nazionali Statunitensi: è lì che Liukin deciderà il quartetto che disputerà la prossima rassegna iridata in programma a Montreal (Canada) dal 2 all’8 agosto.

La Nazionale di riferimento della Polvere di Magnesio, Campionessa Olimpica e del Mondo, deve scontare l’assenza di diverse big (tra cui anche Simone Biles) che si sono prese un periodo di pausa. Stanotte si riparte praticamente da zero con la seconda gara stagionale di rilievo dopo il Trofeo di Jesolo. Si attendono tanti nomi nuovi e delle prestazioni interessante.

A Hoffman Estates (Illinois, USA) i nomi più rilevanti saranno quelli di Ashton Locklear, Jordan Chiles, Ragan Smith, Emma Malabuyo, Trinity Thomas, Maile O’Keefe: vedremo cosa ci regaleranno ma sicuramente ci sarà da divertirsi e si potranno trarre delle indazioni importanti in vista dei Mondiali. Di seguito tutte le ginnaste presenti agli US Classic 2017.
