Maybe Covid has impacted her more than they let on but the composition of her fx and beam are baffling I'm also surprised by the bars struggle. It's looking unlikely she'll be a factor this Olympics but let's see what happens in 3 weeks.

So does this essentially cut any chance of an international assignment prior to Tokyo?

I wonder how much longer Melnikova and the 21 Olympians will stick around, I wouldn't be surprised to hear of retirements after this Championships.

Ye I don't think she'll be continuing with this, but it seems odd after all the time she put in.

Has nothing leaked about Douglas? This return has truly been a covert operation lol.

I wonder if Melnikova and Listunova will go ahead and retire.

I mean its highly likely she won’t get to perform it outside of Russia.

It would have been interesting to see her at Worlds but alas.

Thanks for the info, she doesn’t seem to be on some people’s radar but if she can get her fx in order shes definitely a threat.

Does anyone know if Melnikova has tried anything different on bars ? Shes pretty much had this routine since 2016. I assume she’d look sharper were they going World’s. Looking at the other videos I guess the Russians might be feeling a bit demotivated at this point.

Is Blakely is coming back from injury ? She kind of seems over fx, that being said if she could hit all her tumbling she could find herself in the AA final.

Simone is a multi millionaire I assume, provided she invests her money well there probably is no need for her to work. Everyone’s path does not have to involve higher education or a regular job there is more than one way to be productive. That being said I can see her doing motivational books...

Given that Melnikova had to quarantine a week to meet Putin along with her other engagements I wonder how much training she’s actually been able to do. I guess in her mind she might think it’s a good opportunity to try to be a World Champion. However, this is also Russia and that listing could...

I kind of think for her mental health Simone might be better off not competing she’s accomplished pretty much everything getting another eponymous vault isn’t worth the risk/pressure.

I do notice GTT is also particularly harsh on Biles and Douglas .
