It’s been a rough few weeks for Georgia. Numerous injuries through December and January have left this team depleted. (One big question for today is whether they can field six vaults.) After a period where it looked like Georgia had recruited itself out of trouble, we’re once again forced to question the coaching in Athens. Still, the talent concentrated in the remaining two and a half people on this gymnastics team is immense. Don’t overlook the Bulldogs’ ability to produce fireworks on the competition floor, even with limited personnel.
Missouri, meanwhile, had one of the strongest starts to the 2024 season, and it would take real brilliance from Georgia to trouble the Tigers in this meet. Things to watch include the fact that highly anticipated transfer Mara Titarsolej, who has scored a perfect 10 on bars, hasn’t yet surpassed 9.850 at Missouri. Is the breakthrough coming, or was Missouri’s choice to put the Bhardwaj in her routine a mistake? Another potential 10 comes from Jocelyn Moore on floor. Moore already has a 10 on vault and has scored 9.975 on floor several times, including last week.
