Oh no. I’ve followed gymnastics for a very long time (well ‘84 on). I haven’t forgotten her stupidity. I still think she has done amazing things as a gymnast, and is incredibly talented. I also think we do not know her and her teammates do, and they seem to have a different opinion of her than...

Completely agree. I knew no matter what she does or says, people will find fault. Some just don’t like her, for various reasons. I just rolled my eyes at the comments earlier bc I expected it. I am sure she might think about how close it was - most competitive people would ask themselves what...

Disappointed suni didnt hit but at least now she has one of each. She is still in beam right? Im so glad she was able to stay on the podium.

I fell asleep after vault. Oops. Woke up in time for nina at least. Dang this final is a mess.

I am so happy with the podium. MyKayla was most likely always going for silver at best (assuming a healthy Simone), and she did an amazing job overall at these Olympics. Im happy for her. Rebecca is so lovely and Im thrilled for her. And i laughed at Yeo on the podium. She was so fun. Now I...

I like Skinner and think she deserves a medal with her vaults (so far), so I do hope she stays on the podium. So sad for Jade. I thought Rebeccas vaults were messy but I wouldn’t be unhappy with her winning at all.

Normally i like the medal ceremonies. Today I am so tired and just want to get on with more gymnastics before I fall asleep again. Though I have to be up in two hours anyway…

I was just thinking he looks upset, which I can understand!

Men’s gymnastics is where i feel like a four year, somewhat clueless, fan. Definitely didn’t know the code well enough to expect his score with the errors.

That was my first thought too! I haven’t followed men’s gymnastics enough to know his situation though. Great routine!

I understand every country isn’t the same and I don’t expect any other country to agree with everything that goes on in the US, or with the “justice crusades”. But did you read the article?? I mean, I learned long ago - you can’t always change hate. But wow - that was Hitler level of hate in...

Wow. I guess its not overly surprising with other things we have heard from gymnasts, but oh my goodness. Thats ….a lot of hate.

You are so right!!

Same!! Im a fan of hers but I did expect a bigger difference with the way everyone was talking. So interesting! Her one beam score was way out for sure though.

She earned her spot on the team, but i worried about her consistency from the start. I thought she was proving me so wrong after she pulled it together so well this year, but she fell 4 times (pretty sure) in eight routines. She did impress me on beam during all of the crazy but then floor…. I...
