Yes, Jade said she's having a break. We had a thread. https://gymnaverse.com/threads/jade-confirms-shes-taking-2025-off-elite.4279/ Nothing official from Jordan afaik, but the longer it gets the less likely it seems. In terms of LA, I think with a home Olympics all bets are off.

Definitely deserves a mention! And it had more rarity value then. 39 in 2012 is like early 40s now.

Dragulescu was 40 in Tokyo. Other than those three, I can't think of any more. There's a smattering of late 30s. Harutyan Merdinan's last competition afaik was 2024 Euros when he was 39 and Millousi was a few weeks before her 39th birthday at 2023 Euros. Of those still competing, Angel Wong is...

Seconded! Thank you very much for doing this.

Admittedly I never followed that story closely, and didn't feel qualified to post much on the issue, but I'm always surprised how often it gets brought up when there's so little material to work with. It's generally people who weren't there arguing about what happened, without any new...

I wouldn't in any way rule Roberson out, and I say this as someone who saw her 2023 inclusion coming. Its a weird and possibly unique year.

I didn’t love adults asking those personal, health related questions of a child either.

Me neither, not even in 06-08 when people were grubbing around for 10 counting elements.

Hmm, I'd thought all this was dying down. Especially as nobody took Skinner's incoherent, content free bait and the other gymnasts were wise enough to stay out of it. Also her IG is still up. But good for Simone really. Social media is a blight on humanity, she says hypocritically, and X has...

They seem to have gone out of favour in recent years. I presume it wouldn't be too hard to resurrect teaching the technique, but for whatever reason that guess has yet to be tested.

I like your thinking. Go hard or go home, death or glory etc.

That's what's going to happen, isn't it? Because we can't have nice things. Stupid FIG. As if that isn't a proper acro series. But no doubt the bhs loso that'll replace it will add ever so much more to the routine than an interesting, unusual and daring mount combo.

FIG now have full results from EF day 1 on socials, plus a few videos. Of note, Nemour won bars but sadly for @onodian, with no falls. The dismount is looking a bit short again, and not full difficulty yet. And Chusovitina took silver on vault! Not very far behind Georgieva actually, 13.275...

Just wait til CWG rolls round

It's like Maroney/Maloney all over again!
