The crowd was on its feet as she landed perfectly, and Dawes broke into a huge grin. She waved to the crowd and exchanged a hug with Kelli Hill, her longtime coach, before getting back on the podium and blowing kisses to the crowd.

The routine even brought Karolyi to his feet. He left his seat for one of the first times of the night, rushing across the floor to hug Dawes and Hill. On his way, he looked into the crowd and pumped his fist at the fans.

The selection of Chow and Dawes mean two members of the Magnificent Seven are headed back to the Olympics, but the one everyone expected will be left behind. Miller is America's most decorated gymnast, and she came out of retirement in January in hopes of making her third Olympic team.

But she twisted her knee when she fell on her opening vault. She lay on the mat, grimacing in pain, as coach Steve Nunno and Karolyi rushed to her side. Miller got up and did her second vault, but she landed awkwardly again and left the mat limping. Nunno helped her down the stairs, half-carrying her as Miller shook her head and fought back tears.

She headed for the training room and returned to the floor a few minutes later, but her night was finished.
