In honor of Chellsie Memmel announcing her retirement, today I'm dedicating this favorite routines entry to her.
Chellsie knows how to bring it.
At the Olympic Trials in 2008 after recovering from multiple injuries over the past couple years, the 2005 World Champion was now competing with all of her cards on the table hoping to gain a spot on the Olympic team going to Beijing.
She delivered a near flawless routine, displaying upgraded difficulty than she had in previous years scoring a 15.850. She ended with a bang and received a standing ovation for her performance. Later, at the Olympics Selection camp, she was named to the Olympic team. (Watch the video for her eponymous skill, a double turn with leg in split).
Here is Chellsie's final Olympic Trials performance:
