Bailie Key
Veronica Hults
I've been watching Nica on Youtube for a while now and I love her! She has the lines, she will have the execution score once she gets more consistent and she seems to have the ability to make it look like shes floating in the air, kind of like Kyla Ross. I think that with time she'll become so much more confident and so easy to watch. Keep in mind she went from a level 9 to Elite and made it to Nationals the same year. She may not have the difficulty now, but like her teammate Bailie, she will in four years and I think right now they have the best shot at making the team.

Simone Biles
Simone is definitely on the rise and she's great, but the one thing she doesn't have on her side is her body shape. Most of you know that Elizabeth Price was an alternate on the Olympic Team this quad and thats amazing! But to be honest, she has more difficulty than Kyla, almost a whole point, other than she may not have been as consistent as Kyla, she would have made the team. That isn't why she didn't make the team, she didn't make the team simply because judges don't like her lines. Thats it. Silly right? Well if you think about it, Jordyn Wieber also doesn't have the prettiest body form either, but being how strong and successful she was in 2011 and 2012 she easily made the team. Once Jordyn got to the Olympics you didn't see her scores as high as they usually were did you? Maybe it had something to do with her stress fracture, but even without her injury the judges just didn't like her shape. Believe it or not, but gymnastics is so much more politics than we realize. And with Simone having 4 more years to grow and develop muscle, the only way she will be making that team in 2016 is if she is as successful as Jordyn was because there are many other girls out there who have those lines and shape the judges drool over.
I know there are many other gymnasts out there who could be part of that Olympic team in 2016 and we probably haven't heard of some of them yet. As time goes on it will become more clear as to who will make that special team four years from now but for right now, these are some of the ones who stand out to me whether its good or unfortunate.
