The Favorites: Tassone and White are the only two seniors who cleared 39.200 in qualifying, making them the front-runners for the podium.
-
The Dark Horse: Keep an eye on Elizaveta Grebenkova. Although her qualifying score was a 38.900, she is the defending 2025 Junior All-Around Champion and knows exactly how to handle the pressure of the big stage at Lee's Family Forum.
