I guess the highest-profile case would be Adeliia Petrosian, who has been pretty dominant in women's skating since 2022. She has said that she really wants to go, and frankly, as great as Sakamoto and now Alysa Liu have been, she does triple axels and all kinds of quads while still being strong...

I can't believe THIS is the competition they sent Zhang Boheng to. He competes like once a year. (And it was not a good-for-him event...)

@irichluck21 It's a nice shape, and he lifts it up using his legs instead of grabbing it low and pulling it up, which is cool, but I promise that some of the judges took a 0.3 deduction for not holding the position for 2 seconds. There really needs to be one additional way way of distinguishing...

Their website is fully intact. Lots of stuff about Lauren H. and Riley M on there. They might not like that.... https://mgeliteteam.sportngin.com/home

Heath Thorpe laughing at the top of the comments, too. Ouch!

LOL, he posed that as a question that he didn't know the answer to just to make the point.

Why are you saying that they won't be penalised tough enough?

I expected this was going to happen. And the sad thing is that they are all losing 0.3 or even 0.5 for the instability as well as form errors.

I translated the article (or most of it anyway) and I am not sure what you mean @RAFIKI

Wow, good for those guys!

I didn't realize she was still going. She's 37 now. Cool! Eddie Penev is now 34 and got two fifth-place ranks on Floor and Vault at this meet. I didn't realize he wanted to keep going. I wonder how he is funding this. Yahor Sharamkou (of Belarus) won a gold and a bronze. I don't know about...

Without knowing what's planned, it's surprising that he's literally going to Moscow. I do think it's wrong to circulate the list without some basic labeling of the justifications, e.g., "Military affiliation" or "Support of War via Social Media"... It's not full transparency, but it's...

Front double layout to bounder to double front full out to the beam. Wow!

That news is absolutely appalling. BTW, I did not realize that all this discussion and outrage and lawmaking about trans athletes in the NCAA is actually about only 10 athletes?!?!

It should, under fair application of the rule — no dark pants for anyone. (Which I think really doesn't need to be a rule, but okay, fine.)
