My husband has been roundly warned he is banned from shovelling snow once he hits 45 after I read some thing on Twitter about how it gets more dangerous for men at that age and my medically-anxious brain latched on. So he has 3 years to clear the few flakes we get and then that’s it 😂. Luckily...
Molly Carlson has a great Instagram with lots of info about it all…it’s all nuts. Her long time boyfriend also dives for the uk (she’s canadian) and the men go from 27m!!!!!
What if Ellie black had stayed on during quals and hit her tuck full in finals. I haven’t actually looked at her tf score compared to that final but it was so wide open and she’s often so steady I keep thinking that could have finally been her Olympic medal
I haven’t watched the whole series yet because the real Olympics stated but these two Australians gave every Olympic event a go over the course of a chaotic week. Haven’t seen them try gymn yet but the ones I have watched are fairly entertaining
I did gymnastics first, but only up to level 6ish? And then I rode (briefly thought I wanted to do eventing before I realized I don’t like risking my life that much). I also played soccer to a pretty high level—there was a time I’d played with or against several members of the Canadian national...

I had one named Hospice! (Though I never changed his name even once I learned what it meant haha). I was given him by a hospital program while in hospital and I guess I thought it sounded a relevant name 😂
I can't find a good link for it but Nick Ruddock just did a nice interview with Ellie on his gymnastics growth show podcast. Interesting to hear she's always been encouraged to do stuff outside the gym and did (does?) around 20 hours/wk which she partially credits with her longevity in the sport...
