Mine was literally this. I couldn't do any front somi without my body involuntarily swinging a half twist. Sometimes I would focus so hard on it that I would do a quarter twist one way and then try and quarter twist back the other way and land sideways. It was so annoying. In the end, it was...

Looks like they didn’t give Neymour an acro series on beam. Only a 5.6D. I thought you still got the CR for a repeat skill in a series - but I guess not. Relying on the Two Foot Layout as her only acro series, when she mounts with a LOSO, if she has a habit of putting her foot down if it’s...

It's hard to blame crotching the beam on a coach. It's a bit of an inherent hazard of beam, one would think?!

Was that a dance series ? Didn't think you could land the first element on two feet. ETA: It was! But then she does a second one just after the dismount to get the CR.

I guess her mum should have thought about that part ...

Interesting that the Israel judge had Cheng Fei ahead of Liukin for silver, but the Luxembourg judge had Nastia winning gold.

It wasn't 0.5.

My pen was completely down between 0:53 and 1:48. I don't think we have ever seen 55 seconds of a floor routine being completely deduction-free in decades.

Moving to the US made me realise just how unseriously they take DUI here. It's treated as seriously as driving through a stop light. Insane. There's also a more zero-tolerance societal policy towards drunk driving in the UK too. People in the US are totally more willing to drive if they've had...

I just rewatched this. I have an 8.8 E. 8.366? I don’t get it.

I'm more interested in what they actually took, rather than what they could have taken (mostly because you can 0.1 any routine to death - even Maroney's Amanar!)

I had a 7.8 E. I got there a slightly different way. I didn't take 3 for leg sep on the dismount. But I took a couple more feet and some other misc deductions.

AI Prompt: Summarize The Balance by Aimee Boorman in 1000 words. i only want to hear shocking new revelations Aimee Boorman’s memoir, The Balance: My Years Coaching Simone Biles, pulls back the curtain on the making of the world’s greatest gymnast-not just with uplifting anecdotes, but with...

I cannot imagine they didn't take 2 on the dismount. Two judges took 3 in the interior, and four judges took 4.

If there’s 5 or 6 tenths to take (and 2 are not contentious on the dismount), then there’s only 3 or 4 tenths in the interior of the routine. That’s crazy! Didnt she get a 9.8 at pac Rims? With a stuck DMT that’s only 1 tenth in the interior. Maybe the wolf full? I know they tightened up the...
