They're also hiring WTC chair: https://static.usagym.org/PDFs/Women/elections/26ntcc.pdf

I have a 9.1 for her EF bar routine. It was absolutely flawless. An 8.633 is too harsh imo. We need to reward incredible execution or we will not incentivize anyone to do it.

The prices are insane. But it is simple supply and demand. Many of these tickets will be purchased in huge bundles of 100/200s by large corporations who are willing to drop $1-2K per ticket. I managed to get a ticket to London 2012 (prelims - US/GBR rotation) and half the arena was empty. Huge...

If anyone tries to say she's getting deductions on her Ring elements, I'll be throwing hands. Maybe 0.1 for the first split ring for lack of head release concurrent with foot at Crown. It is physically impossible to do a better Switch Ring than this: Her splits and straddle are absolutely...

@Concorde would love your thoughts on this. Am I missing some new 25-28 deduction from somewhere? Her elements are picture perfect. I have very little on the elements themselves - its all just wobbles, pauses, rhythm and artistry. I fear she's getting Komova'd and a victim of not having a 0.05...

I mean, he coached a multiple World medalist through quite significant injury to Olympic AA Champion. He's obviously not clueless. I have never heard any accusations of physical abuse against him? Now for mental abuse - things were very different 20-30 years ago. Judges openly called gymnasts...

She's definitely getting deductions on the casts.

This girl is getting criminally underscored over and over again. I just don't get it.

Stalder1/1-Downie-Pak-ToeShap-Hindorff Tweddle-Ezhova-Shap 1/2 FullOut 9 D+ skills. Insane!

I was a little too high on beam at American Cup, so maybe the GB panel was similarly slightly loose. For example - I still don’t understand the 7.2 that the Chinese gymnast received at AMcup. I know she fell. And had some pauses. But her elements are done with such precision and perfection I...

“obviously”! 😳 Italian commentary italianing..!

I assume the gymnasts will definitely want to do CWG over Euros. It's only every 4 years, and its more like an "Olympics" than Euros. Plus - each of England, Wales, Scotland etc. get to field their own teams. However - I can see some of them trying to do both. Maybe foregoing a chance at a...

I got a 7.5 (A3)

I hope they aren’t crediting that side jump half with a D!
