The 2025 U.S. Classic concluded on July 19, leaving fans with plenty to talk about. Simone Biles made a heartfelt appearance, cheering on her WCC teammates Joscelyn Roberson and Dulcy Caylor from the sidelines. Fresh off her Olympic triumph in Paris, 17-year-old Hezly Rivera faced a tough night, suffering falls on both the uneven bars and balance beam. A shaky bars dismount and another stumble on beam had fans and coaches holding their breath. Meanwhile, Claire Pease rose to the occasion, delivering a strong performance to secure the senior all-around title with a score of 54.600. But just when you think the meet went great with no issues, you are proven wrong.
Myli Lew claimed the uneven bars title at the 2025 U.S. Classic, earning a top score of 14.050 to take home the gold on that apparatus. She hit a clean Gienger, followed by a piked Jaeger, displaying smooth transitions. Her form stayed tight through the giants, and then she finished with a powerful double-layout dismount, which she stuck cleanly, with only a small hop landing. But what if we tell you that she was evaluated inaccurately?
Jessica O’Beirne and Spencer Barnes once again sat down on July 22 to talk about the 2025 US Classic. “Basically, what happened is Myli Lew won the bars title at the US Classic with a 14.050, but she was given credit for a repeated element. What she ended up doing was a toe-on full to Maloney, then a toe-on Shaposhnikova to a Pak salto, then to another Maloney, and then connected to a Gienger,“ explained Barnes in the video. How was that a problem? The host also speculated intended her first Maloney was intended to be a stalder Shaposhnikova, but either made a mistake or chose not to, similar to how Joscelyn Roberson once used two double layouts as placeholders.
