Is that the one where she threw a double layout out of nowhere and it went horribly?
I think it was the repeated elbow surgeries that did her in, unfortunately.
I’m sorry, this all seems so gimmicky and like he’s trying to create his ‘moment’ to be revolutionary (and bank off of it). If you’re worried about boys being bullied, address the homophobia and misogyny that’s in gymnastics and men’s sports. Changing the outfit is not the solution. And this fit...
Whew I’m excited for some fresh elite gymnastics! I always forget about how long that gap is following an Olympic year because the last competition is in August as opposed to an October worlds.
Honestly, I’m not sure where to start. I was hoping that during the comeback she had learned some of the ‘compulsory’ elements such as the triple wolf on floor and beam and the shap+tkatchev combo on bars. With the latter combo and a bit of confidence, she really could’ve been one of the top...
I think about this occasionally. On some level, I feel she just bowed out too soon. And then there’s another side of me that feels her composition was just so poor (specifically beam and floor) that it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.
I don’t want to make a new thread, but USAG posted pics from January NTC. I know most of y'all will salivate over these new leos lol https://www.reddit.com/r/Gymnastics/s/Bh6MdRxcDb
This is the new NCAA routine. Her routine is actually quite difficult compared to most of the others. Emma M. did a 9.925 routine doing a double pike and a 1.5+front lay.
You speak as if she’s retired from elite. If she’s healthy, I can’t imagine her not being the mix for LA. Even if she never does another thing in elite, the girl is a 2 time world champ!
Random question, but how much do team coaches typically make? Is it more at the elite level vs jo? Does it go up significantly at the bigger gyms with more elites? I worked as a rec coach while in grad school and the pay was hilarious. I couldn’t imagine it being sustainable for a lot of people...
I’m trying to investigate how many how many spots will be on the team. There’s at least 8 plaques and a ton of sweats and cowboy hats.
It looks like they’re taking like 11 or 12? There’s 3 girls already in their sweats and with their plaques. Poor Bullock and D’Amelio. I think they’re the...
