She tends to clear the bar like Nastia unfortunately, but as she grows taller hopefully technique can be bettered on that. Her bars exhibit fabulous form (minus her tendency to flex her feet on transitions), beautiful releases, precise and beautiful bodyline and a great dismount. Bailie's greatest assets are her form and flexibility. Disregarding the fact that this will be a victim of the new switch ring leap rule, this is awesome, and especially from an American gymnast. LOOK AT IT! And she can get her front leg higher. She trains at Texas Dreams and will turn senior in 2015. As for Nia, I think Bailie has the greater potential. Having two dodgy events will not get you my crown. The reason why the first three did not get a look in is because they are currently very weak and exhibiting poor form on bars and beam.

This was very difficult, not to push Simone Biles, Amelia Hundley and Lexie Priessman out of the way, but to disregard Nia Dennis.

If the routines have falls, it's either a) the only routine on youtube or b) a fluke but by far the most recent routine or c) doesn't really affect how much amazing potential there is in the rest of the routine. It's tough! At least I discovered page breaks. But now to pinpoint the one girl from each country who I think will be the star. And of course, the competitions USA, China etc. As you can see, we have just had 21 girls (at least) turn senior! Exciting stuff, and Euros will be very interesting to see their upgrades and potential for worlds. You can also find a not-totally-comprehensive-but-including-everyone-of-consequence list of upcoming seniors here. It's worth noting that the China one is a bit redundant, as further competitions and insight has shown that there are brighter stars in their future. You can find the links to each New Kids on the Block post here.

I have done a mini-series showcasing the best upcoming seniors of this quad.
