Qiu rocking a vintage Mustafina acro series! I’m so sick of fhs-front tuck at this point. It’s clearly overvalued in its CV and has completely erased all of those amazing sky high 2 foot layouts we used to get all the time.

Kennedy Baker is a great commentator, I had no idea!

I assume going to the open ended code would also require twice the number of judges that are at meets now? Doesn’t seem fair to only have one d-score and e-score judge each. That seems like another high barrier and would only increase the incompetence of NCAA panels.

He’s probably got 1-3 years left. He is a decent depth safety and ok on special teams, but is 30 now and that’s really starting to push it in NFL terms.

RIP to my favorite Bears jersey 😭

It’s really a five alarm fire at this point for the USAG WAG Program. LA is going to be fine because of veterans returning, but 2029 is going to look very 1997 for USAG.

That is interesting that they won’t import figure skating talent when they paid Eileen Gu a boatload of money to change nationalities.

God damn, that was crazy. Ilia was right, they should have sent him to Beijing 4 years ago. I love Jason Brown, but there was no justification for sending him if they didn’t use him in the team competition and there were no spots on the line for next season. The idea of waiting your turn is so...

That was some truly absurd judging. The French judge had them 8 points above the Americans and 11 points above the Canadians in the free dance. Absolutely criminal. I’ll take the gross incompetence of the FIG over this corrupt nonsense any day.

I totally agree that she is going to be another alternate for the Olympics again. It’s a shame she doesn’t really realize how ill-equipped the Florida coaches are in general.

Yeah, you don’t stick a DTY every week in college and not have elite aspirations. Thrilled for her. She looks incredible right now.

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.
