Ooh and Amanar in 00 also. Lot of it about in Sydney.

Off the top of my head Milosovici in 96, Produnova in 00. Gutsu in 92, sort of.

This is three years old, but she discusses finances here. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/meandmymoney/article-12079889/Gymnast-Becky-Downie-talks-MONEY.html Makes sense that the stipend plus the endorsement bits would cover relatively low living costs. Wonder if she took a 10 year fix...

I'm a fucker for doing that, especially once the kids get bigger (I think we both have an 11 year old?) and half of them are the same size as their mums. At least when they're 4, the size is a helpful visual cue! Personally I've answered since childhood to my own name, both sisters, my mum's...

Of course. It's top 13 teams iirc, so basically any full team should be fine. I'd be surprised if healthy A teamers who've just done CWG don't also want to do Euros though. Ruby and Abi must fancy their chances of individual European medals, whatever else happens.

It was interesting that in 2022 the Gadirovas chose Euros. Felt like they were picking prestige in the sport over more general exposure, though I may be reading too much into that. Wales are going to want to send their A, I think we can be sure of that. They must surely have their eye on top 3...

Also, have we had the various selection criteria on here yet? Relevant to the discussion about who's aiming for what. This is MAG CWG for England. I think all the leading MAGs currently are English...

Good question. Jen had a long layoff in 2023-4, and was looking like she'd be in the mix for 2025, as her stuff in autumn 2024 was quite promising. Then she tore her ACL and was out last year. She got a couple of 12s on bars and beam at the Welsh championships, and for whatever reason isn't...

No idea whether she has other eligibility, but I'm not sure Becky would do well in an individual system. Her TF record is actually really strong. One fall on beam at 2016 Euros, and I can't recall if she's ever come off bars at all. She does much worse when it's just her. Hard to say. CWG and...

Not to my knowledge, and same re floor. But she did compete it a few times last quad and was good for a 12ish, so perhaps makes sense she's brought it back. Re Alice, is this the soonest postpartum competitive comeback we know of in the sport? Chusovitina did Sydney when her baby was 10 months...

Alice and GMF are both listed to compete in the final AA session, but beam only. Should be interesting! https://www.british-gymnastics.org/results/6935568/Saturday_WAG_Startlist_-_Womens_Artistic_Senior_&_Aspire_App_Finals.pdf

She's an equal opportunities aggressor, if nothing else. Can't accuse her of only picking fights she knows she'll win!

Is his career winding down? Maybe this will be the last season. She seems to really like being an NFL wife though.

Ew really?
