    Chusovitina will attempt to qualify to Paris 2024, would be her 9th Olympics!

    Is Dipa Karmakar (or any of her teammates) going to Asian Championships? If so, is she an all-around contender as well?

    Kathy Johnson Clark retires from ESPN

    Very interesting. Bart is older than her, has he vocalized publicly the same pressure to retire that KJC is facing? Or, is he not getting that pressure at all?

    Manrique Larduet: Did you know he's back, competing in Europe??

    I remember Annia Hatch had to wait a while before being allowed to compete for USA. She was ready to compete in 2002 but was held back until 2003. Was it a citizenship wait issue thing or did Cuba block her from a quicker transition even though she last competed for them internationally in 1996?

    Elvira Saadi coaching ban, Elena Davydova temp suspension in Canada

    Mohini Bhardwaj, and also assisted Marz Frazier and Vanessa Zamarripa during their brief elite stints while at UCLA.

    Was her only FX upgrade the full-in to back tuck?

    British WAG (and MAG!) talk

    Funny you mention that! I don’t remember formal retirement announcements from Fragapane and Simm. Are they still training elite? This might perhaps be their opportunity back onto A team?

    2023 World Qualification Status and Named Teams

    Has Ukraine MAG named their team already? Anxiously awaiting Oleg’s comeback! Also curious to see if Pahkniuk is back on the team.

    Shilese Jones vs. Rebeca Andrade

    I think Black, Visser, and Kovacs have the scoring potential to be in top 10 as well. Maybe Godwin and Thorsdottir on a good day, too.

    Ferrari will try for Paris and retire afterwards

    Pacing herself well on three events. Looks to be adding back DTY on vault, BHS-tuck full or BHS-layout 2ft (or both!) on beam, Silivas, whip full in, and DLO on floor. Will she be adding back bars as well?

    2023 Xfinity Nationals Podium Training Discussion

    I’m still peeved Arkayev left Dolgopolova and Kuznetsova off of the 2000 Sydney team. 😒
