Nicloe Hibbert out, Jordyn Wieber in

Nicole Hibbert of GRB is being replaced by Jordyn Wieber. Nicole got injured at the English Nationals during warm up on vault, and Wieber was the alternate so she is in. I'm not thrilled with this because this means that Aliya may come in second! I love Aliya, and Jordyn has difficult skills, but not as much as Aliya and not near the amount of grace as Aliya. But Jordyn may not be at her best, because she was no where nere as good as she really is at the WOGA Classic. But we haven't seen anything from Aliya yet this year, so you also don't know what to expect from her. So that is realistically your top two. Expect the bronze to go to Ally Raisman, Lauren Mitchell, or Ariella Kaeslin. I'm expecting this American Cup to be one of the best ones yet! And hopefully NBC or Universal Sports will show more gymnastics than just the top three or four!
