Side aerial + Side aerial is more difficult than Side aerial + BHS and looks satisfying enough to me, assuming the gymnast gets their back completely upright, like Sanne did at the Olympics. It has a nice pendulum effect. The problem is trying to have good posture is actually a huge risk now...

The competition structure should definitely be changed, but probably won't.

What makes it worse is how low the side aerial lands and then she never gets her back straight, probably on purpose, because that would "break" the connection. So it's just totally lethargic.

Nice to see Aiko Sugihara continue glowing here. She didn't do enough for the turn to be credited (not that it matters anymore for difficulty value, sigh), but considering all the other fake 1/2 turn tkatchevs that got recently named before the rule was tightened, it's unfortunate the Inbar...

What is France doing this time that would make her want to switch?

I really hope they teach Yume Minamino a shaposh, she's too good to be stuck scoring sub-14 on UB.

Being chosen for a couple teams doesn't preclude discriminatory behavior or poor management. Aside from the general mismanagement and feeling of being treated worse that he feels was happening, there were 2 examples that definitely look outright vindictive towards him - someone else being...

It's the same lyrics I assume, but sounds like two different songs. The female in the duet version really blew him out of the water, maybe also because he isn't as experienced with live singing. Would be funny if it became common for gymnasts to shift into music careers. Flipping on stage is...

I'm happy Qiu Qiyuan seems to have gotten through her growth spurt, hopefully she'll be able to keep making teams in the coming years.

The letter grade needs to be lowered, it's simply a boring floor skill and not as difficult as others. The joke has gone on far too long.

Count mounts as a required 9th skill on UB, make the basic kip mount worth 0, and lower the amount of deductions taken. For vault I think the bonus should just be for doing any two different families. That way people can do something like DTY + Y1.5 if they want, but it won't be especially...

It's something that should be kept away from both sports. Audiences should be focusing on the performances while they are happening, not staring at numbers in the corner of the screen. During replays is where this info should be displayed. Gymnastics commentary would improve if the...

Will be nice to see Alice D'Amato. The decision to leave her off the World team is so bizarre.

The E-score rules are exactly the same now as they were then. I did not "want" Skye to win a medal, she simply deserved it, exactly based upon the rules we have and the routine she did compared to others. People should not accept bad judging.

Growing the audience of the sport is another reason to having completely accessible judging scoresheets. It makes things more understandable and gives people more to talk about.
