One would think this is one of the most basic skills of the job. I guess not!

SCAM! 🥰🥰🥰

I honestly think Akopian was just as bad at routine construction!

I cannot believe how successful Shannon was with so many psychotic people around her.

Maybe the most infuriating pass in history. Just completely inept routine construction.

I don’t think Anna Li would have gone anywhere near the UB podium, probably not even the final. Locklear is interesting, I don’t think she would have benefitted from the loose bars scoring in Rio as she was already so clean, I’m not sure the judges would have thrown her a 9.4. Most likely...

I’m hesitant to take a results-oriented approach when comparing teams giving the varying depth levels from quad to quad (looking at you, 2005/2006/2009 worlds), but you also have to take into consideration the size of the teams. The London and Rio Teams with a 6th member both easily outperform...

I feel like writing proofs would be right up Shannon’s alley given how detail-oriented and type-a she is. Nunno comes off as just a total psychopath. Interesting that Claudia’s tone seems to be so neutral about him and very little is said about Peggy.

If they really want to send Jess for UB/BB, James is a possible but not great option for VT/FX. With that 7.0 e score on FX, I wonder if she had a major mistake. That proposed team doesn’t really make sense with the trials results, but the wildcard really seems to be Jess.

I feel like the ratio of length to width is too large; that narrow rectangle would give us even more 2-dimensional choreography than we get now. Why not just make the square larger? It's not like there isn't enough room, and a 50x50 would yield almost a 71 foot diagonal.

Same. She is absolutely a favorite to win a vault medal at worlds this year, if not gold. People seem to want to keep ignoring her when talking about contenders, though.

Are Russia and Belarus not sending RG athletes to major competitions yet?

Yep, there’s a reason she unveiled that skill and the Cheng at the same time in early 2013.

I was really surprised Simone Rose didn’t really materialize into anything this season. I really thought they would have made more of an effort to upgrade sonce she seems to have good basics. Pacific Reign is like the Metroplex of the west.

On board with all of these, but sad they still aren’t making changes to the code to stop rewarding two pass routines without an e-level pass or requiring a single bar release.
