I mean does Weiber / Brooks not count? And Paul Juda proposed to Guggino. And Bart Conner is married to that backwater nobody what's her face... Bladia Comaneci??

Perhaps the strong arm emoji?

I ran my proposed system through chat gpt and fed it a YouTube video of event finals for 2025 worlds, which it can analyze frame by frame, with instruction to take holistic phase deductions, corroborated by textual commentary found in tweets and bbs and (something else). I cannot believe that's...

^Well in my hypothetical example, I separated amplitude (ie height and distance, maybe even direction) for its own point worth of deductions. Plus if you had to do two vaults, and both had garbage post flight, you'd essentially be counting those deductions twice. Is anybody getting anywhere...

I'm not a judge... But I think judging more holistically from perfection to absolute slop per phase makes sense. If preflight, block, post flight, amplitude, and landing all start out of 1.0 execution per vault, you just take each phase in turn and judge how good it was out of 10 tenths, max E...

2 vaults should be required, bonus for doing different vaults and different pre flights or post flights. Halve the D scores, take E score deductions for both vaults off 10, and make clearer phase specific deductions (ie, ghastly pre flights or squishy post flight or heinous block).

This reads like a lemony snicket book. It's hard to believe, but also... Not that hard.

In terms of sheer number / color of medals, US WAG is passed by China, Japan, AIN, Algeria, ( the US MAG), and tie GB's medal haul. Not that it matters, but WOW.

Idk. Gymnasts like skinner, roberson, and even Carey only make sense to the team when the depth is not there. They start getting passed on floor and beam despite their tumbling ability, but at the end of the day they're the last ones standing. You can point to all three as having medal success...

Part of the problem is a depleted field. If there were ten people being appropriately scored above routines from people like Roberson, you have a lot of evidence to point out to coaches that artistry and execution are more valuable than chucked difficulty. But when the depth isn't there, there...

Wow, that's some suspect final scoring. Melnikova having the highest e score on floor, knowing what she needed, is just blatant favoritism. That sucks so badly for Leanne. Russia USA China make for a very strangely traditional podium, despite an exciting meet. Some peacock broadcast thoughts...

I would never put my child into elite gymnastics... But it's precisely because I would expect someone like Martha to be at the helm. If I were in charge of the US's gymnastics medal results, I would not hire sweet Minnesotan bee Chellsie F'n Memmel. Double edged sword.

I didn't watch, just read. It's like reading Game of Thrones or Red Rising. What a dark age. Reading that Leanne fell on a DTY had me saying WTAF out loud, I thought it was a joke at a first. What a plot twist.

Ummm. All I see is boobs and abs in the Brazilian leo. It's also like hidden mickey, like it makes a Mickey mouse face on every single torso. Is it specifically colored that way to highlight those features?? ? Like I can't unsee it at this point.

I don't think she should have been forced to compete the second vault, but from her account, it's clear she was gonna do it regardless, thought she needed to, didn't even think she was seriously injured after the second vault let alone before (just a numb leg with a foot you can't feel), and she...
