Agreed. Love the pass, but the dance is lacking for me.

Agreed on this. After the summary of Landing on My Feet that @QuietColours gave us, it's hard to imagine Strug not going for it, even if coaches had been telling her not to.

I've never followed NCAA gymnastics. Is it really incompetence, or is it chosen incompetence - i.e. the judges know to get the assignments they have to give the unrealistic scores? When I was a judge ages ago (L10), I was asked about judging NCAA, but had no interest in that game. I also knew or...

Is anyone watching the Australian Open? Being in the U.S., I hit the point a few days ago of not really knowing what day it was here or there - I just know what time I need to watch matches (this isn't helped any by the fact that I also haven't worked the last three Mondays). I would love to...

I knew it was multiple, I meant mix up which two from post to post. Maybe Russian/English one time, Italian/Russian another. What's the fun of the same two all the time when you have multiple.

Keep it interesting, mix up the two languages you use.😂

I can’t help myself sometimes from checking it out just to see the ridiculousness. Occasionally I start to reply, but senses come back and I remember it would be pointless.
