On floor she'd like to add a tucked punch front out of her triple twist and change her tucked arabian double front to a piked position. On beam she plans on adding a few jumps while gaining more consistency with her arabian double front dismount.
Leading up to next season Ragan will be working on "technically correcting" her vault and adding a new transition on bars while also connecting more of her existing skills. In early October, Ragan had a bone spur removed from her ankle but recovered in time to attend the final National Team camp of 2016. After a second place finish on beam at the Olympic Trials, Ragan found herself as an alternate to the 2016 Olympic Team. A few weeks later at the Pacific Rim, she helped Team USA win the gold medal and also won the balance beam title, just ahead of Aly Raisman. As a first year senior in 2016, Ragan took home three silvers from the Jesolo Trophy meet (all-around, beam and floor). Ragan was a fan favorite throughout the last quad and could very well be a favorite again this time around. So who will be next for USA Gymnastics? Here's a list of 10 gymnasts you could be seeing a lot from on the trail to Tokyo. This quad will be Valeri Liukin's very first as the National Team coordinator and luckily he already has plenty of promising athletes to pick from. While none of the 2016 Olympians have completely ruled out Tokyo 2020, it's always a good idea to have a promising new batch to work with. As the continuous dominating force in women's gymnastics, USA Gymnastics will look towards a new crop of talent and a few returning faces to kick off the new quad on a strong note. As we say goodbye to 2016, we say hello to a new Olympic quadrennium.
