The Race to make the 2024 Olympic Team

Post by AustinTXSooner »

This should be of interest to us because the OU class of 2023, in addition to Keira Wells, Hannah Schieble, Aspen Lenczner, and Caitlin Smith, has another member who deferred for a year in order to compete for the 2024 Olympic team. Addison Fatta.

The Olympic team will be named at the end of the US Olympic Trials in Minneapolis on June 30th. Leading up to then are a number of events that hopefuls will be competing at in order to make the team. Here are those events:

February
5-8 National Team Camp (Houston, Texas)
23-25 Winter Cup (Louisville, Kentucky)

March
8-10 World Cup (Baku, Azerbaijan)
12-18 DTB Pokal Mixed Team (Stuttgart, Germany)

April
16-22 Jesolo Trophy (Jesolo, Italy)
22-29 Pacific Rim Championships (TBD)
25-28 American Classic (Houston, Texas)

May
17-19 U.S. Classic (Hartford, Connecticut)
30-June 2 U.S. Championships (Fort Worth, Texas)

June
27-30 U.S. Olympic Trials (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Elite level gymnastics scoring is very different from NCAA. So don't try to compare the scores.

Here is how Addison is doing so far:

Winter Cup (Louisville, KY)
28 gymnasts competed in the All Around. Another 6 competed on at least one event (including Suni Lee, who only competed on Bars and Beam). Addison finished #6 in the All Around. The top 6 were:
#ScoreGymnastTeam
156.850Kayla DiCelloHill's
254.650Skye BlakelyWOGA
354.000Hezly RiveraWOGA
453.250Trinity ThomasUniv of Florida
552.300Dulcy CaylorWorld Champions
652.250Addison FattaPrestige
Addison finished tied for 4th in Bars, 23rd in Beam, and tied for 8th in Floor. For some reason, they don't list rankings for vault, but it looks like she was about 12th.

World Cup (Baku, Azerbaijan)
Results are confusing me a bit, but I don't see any USA women listed as competing.

DTB Pokal Mixed Team (Stuttgart, Germany)
Looks like 3 USA women competed in the Mixed Cup. Addison is one of them. Interestingly, Fuzzy Benas also competed here.

On Vault, Addison finished 2nd behind Dulcy Caylor (USA).

On Bars, Addison finished 5th with the only other American, Nola Matthews finished 2nd.

Those appear to be the only two events she competed on.

Next up is the Josolo Trophy in April.

The Josolo Trophy is this weekend. According to the USA Gymnastics website, Addison will not be competing.

I should add that several of the top candidates for the US Olympic team are not at this event. Of the Seniors competing, I only recognize Dulcy Caylor and Hezly Rivera.
