Here is the TV schedule, according to USA Gymnastics:
Thursday, June 27 – Men’s Day 1 – USA Network, 6:30-9 PM
Friday, June 28 – Women’s Day 1 – Peacock, 7:30-8 PM; NBC 8-10 PM
Saturday, June 29 – Men’s Day 2 – NBC, 3-6 PM
Sunday, June 30 – Women’s Day 2 – Peacock, 8-8:30 PM; NBC, 8:30-11 PM
All events will also be live on Peacock, which may be the only way to watch the women live if you live in the western half of the country.
I know this is the women’s gymnastics thread, but I didn’t think it was worth opening a whole new thread for the men. And what a heartbreaker last night – despite finishing third overall, Shane Wiskus was left off the five-man US Olympic team (he was named an alternate). Unfortunately – but necessarily – the team selection is based on how many points specific gymnasts are likely to score in specific routines. I can’t fault the committee for choosing the set of athletes best situated to provide the highest combined score, but it was brutal to see Wiskus after the team was announced.
Just finished watching whatever scraps NBC felt like showing of the women’s gymnastics trials. The overall impression I got was that the #1 is still a fireball, the #2 is a gritty never-say-die fighter, and beyond that is a whole lot of crossed fingers.
It looks like the the years of competition pressure are finally catching up to Simone Biles. She betrayed numerous control issues, especially on vault (I can’t remember the last time I saw a woman take such huge steps), and didn’t even seem to try to stick a landing. Still, she’s in such a level of her own that it was kind of like Usain Bolt spotting a high school JV squad two meters. Some of the moves she routinely pulls off, like the “triple double”, defy belief or description. To all the haters: If you’re sick and tired of her, find five women who are better. Eleven years in and we’re not even close to one. That’s the long and short of it.
Suni Lee has deal with serious kidney problems over the last year and a half (something you couldn’t miss if you watched about, oh, three minutes of NBC’s American Ninja Warrior-caliber coverage 
), but it looks like she’s suffering from a far more mundane ailment…the curse of high expectations. She struggled hard to regain her champion form, and her beam routine was one of the worst I’d seen all year. She’ll be a factor, no doubt, but with every event she seems to slip further in the “very good, not great” box.
Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles are dependable performers, not spectacular, but they have guts and know how to win. Hesly Rivera…that’s the big question mark. Losing Skye Blakely, Kayla DiCello, and Shilese Jones to injury was a big hit, and now we have no choice but to get behind a second stringer.
Prospects? Podium favorite, but not the runaway '16 was. That was an absolutely perfect, magical run that’s not happening again. This squad is definitely beatable and will have to fight for every point. Potential for a big upset, but for now all I have is hope.
Yep. One athlete whose about as old as you can be at that level whose prone to twisties and personal issues can hardly carry the Women’s team. Now we have 2 very young lady first timers. I think the Robertson girl would’ve been a better choice for one of them. She had a very good night and has been to the Olympics before. She’s had an ankle injury tho’. That may have been the reason.
Each sport has to send to the USOPC a somewhat detailed description of how its selection process works. The quick versions for gymnastics:
Men: “Whoever has the high score in the trials qualifies, provided he placed in the top three (plus ties) in at least three of the six apparartuses. The remaining positions will be determined as follows: combining the scores from the US National Championships and the Olympic Trials, the team of five that would have the best team score using the ‘four up, three count’ method used in the qualifying round, and the team that would have best score using the ‘three up, three count’ method used in the team finals round, will be determined. If they both have the same five, then that is the team. If one method’s total score is two or more points higher than the other, then the team with the higher score is the team. Otherwise, the committee decides pretty much arbitrarily.”

Women: “Whoever has the high score in the trials qualifies automatically, The remaining four positions are decided by committee in whatever method they wish to use - Lincoln-Douglas Debate, rock-paper-scissors, best two out of three falls, whoever NBC tells them needs to be on the team to get higher ratings, whatever.”
So the men’s is math.
The women’s is whatever?
As usual.
