Keep in mind that my predictions don't account for the specific programming for regionals this year, they only look at past results for each athlete in this Open as well as last year's Games and last year's Regionals.<br /><br />That being said, no doubt that having a strong handstand walk can go a long way this year. But probably more than that, having a BAD handstand walk can all but eliminate you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451889274303028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-47255844554550274122014-05-20T01:18:49.446-04:002014-05-20T01:18:49.446-04:00Thanks Anders!

What an honour to be on the games site, having my little video as the talk of the box when we got back from Bhutan took the sting out of not being able to finish the open this year.<br /><br />I was really expecting Sidell to do what Julie Foucher did. Quite a sad weekend watching some of my favourites bow out. Amanda Allen came so close, Graeme Holmberg, Sam, Ruth, Katrin, Frederik Aegidius.<br /><br />Will you do predictions for this weekend? I was doing hang snatches and talking strategy with Shingo Moromosa yesterday in open gym, the event choices by Castro are perfect for him. Prior to the announcement he'd climbed a mountain on his hands in 4 hours in training! The team I was on didn't qualify this year, but I'll be cheering on our main team, Shingo and Moe from our gym.kiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303029811985976822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-8727214539620685122014-05-19T09:21:42.011-04:002014-05-19T09:21:42.011-04:00I believe if you follow me on Google+ it should no...I believe if you follow me on Google+ it should notify you. I plan on posting again this Thursday, so if you try that and don't get an alert, let me know.<br /><br />(I'm admittedly pretty bad about knowing exactly how all that stuff works, though. One day I'll get my act together and learn more about it.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451889274303028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-84595691851651355072014-05-18T13:26:34.920-04:002014-05-18T13:26:34.920-04:00Anders, I just came across your blog.

Great work on 14.5, it was cool to see that on the Games site.<br /><br />But yes, I also noticed that the chances for Sidell are probably understated. I considered adjusting her upwards, but I really wanted to be judicious with the instances where I made any changes to the model. The athletes that I adjusted are all multi-time Games qualifiers. As good as Sidell has looked at times, she still has only completed one HQ-sanctioned competition (2014 Open), and she was only 10th in her region. I'm sure she may have been coasting through the Open, but this is also an extremely tough region. I'd be hard-pressed to bet against any of the top 4 in that region.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451889274303028096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734272724196423841.post-55251663310425669682014-05-16T00:21:56.677-04:002014-05-16T00:21:56.677-04:00Sidell should be a massive outlier.
