Now the (20-to-30-minute) wait begins

July 19, 2008 |  5:06 pm

NEW WAVERLY, Texas --- Only four more routines left.

Chelsea Davis is up first, and what she might have on the line is an alternate's position. Davis' score of 15.200 might have earned her that honor.

Shawn Johnson had nothing on the line except practice, and when she was done, Johnson was giving everyone high fives. She scored a 16.300.

Peszek was up next. She smiled through every solid somersault and flip and scored 15.700.

The final competitor of this two-month selection process was veteran and emotional team leader Alicia Sacramone. The 20-year-old let no one down with her wobble-free work. Even the landing had barely a tremor. She earned a 16.200.

Now the wait begins. Expect a 20- to 30-minute wait before the final team is announced.
