Holy shit, I thought the appeal would never be accepted. Just further makes the FIG and the CAS look like absolute fools. The only acceptable outcome is to award both gymnasts the bronze.

Funny that the CW at the time was that Russia and USA were neck and neck going into the Olympics. Even if you take Russia’s highest scores across the week they only squeak by less than a tenth than USA’s TF score, and that’s with noticeably looser bars panels as the week went on.

How did they decide who was going to Olympic trials? Was it just AA ranking? Was the decision to not invite Alicia to trials considered ok at the time based on the team’s needs? She had the highest single VT/FX score at nationals if you only take the best score. It kind of seems silly. It to...

They are horrendous. They egged their offensive coordinator’s house after they lost to the Bears this year.

I found Grace to be so mediocre and weirdly overhyped (those upgrades that everyone talked about that obviously were never going to materialize), but man was I thankful she kept Skinner off the main team.

Yeah, in retrospect it would have been better for Jade to be on that 4 person team instead of Grace. Would Skinner still have gotten the +1?

I am so unbelievably fed up with UCLA’s refusal to address vault.

A Gina Gogean appreciation thread is absolutely a sign of the end times.

How large is the arena in Birmingham? I can’t imagine very large at all.

She might be the most cursed gymnast ever.

Figure skating. I don’t really care for Alyssa Liu’s skating all that much, but her comeback story is really awesome and I would love to see her do well. Not excited at all about the return of Eteri and her athletes to the Olympic stage.

Well perhaps the NCAA judges should actually start applying prescribed deductions, then. The reason why we are seeing so many 2-pass routines is that judges are not applying deductions to dance elements.

I always forget that Laurie really wasn’t a notable Beamer until 2016. It was kind of hard to picture how she would fit into that Rio team until she randomly started stacking hit cold beam sets for mid 15s.

As long as they are hydrating eye masks I am in favor of this. Some of these NFL players are in desperate need of a skincare routine.
