I recall coaches Patrick and Daymon did a behind the scenes interview with Gymcastic for paying members not too long ago. If anyone has seen/heard this, did they mention anything about the Voineas, Ponor, Alina, or the conflicts going on within the Romanian team?

Yes, please, thank you! Especially Marinescu, as that one is so difficult to find. Maria Olaru has a book as well, would you happen to have hers also?

Alexandra Marinescu! My fave Romanian gymnast ever alongside Aurelia Dobre. A pity she was Galiyeva’d more than Galiyeva, each time by Simona Amanar.

Thank you for this info on Liu Xuan! My fave CHN WAG generation(95-97)! Would you happen to know how Ji Liya, Bi Wenjing, Kui Yuanyuan, Mao Yanling, Qiao Ya, Mo Huilan, and Meng Fei are doing these days?

Surprised you didn’t mention Mary Lou and the return to Los Angeles for the Olympics lol

This version has the more complete coverage:

Obligatory “was Netty in doubt for the all-around?” And “Could Hollie Dykes have beaten so and so if she upgraded her floor?”

Was Gina Gogean on the floor with the team or does she only coach the Juniors? I was wondering if she went up to the judges herself and pulled a Nabieva to say “It’s not Gogean!”.

Weren’t Rudi(Rudolph) and Randi along with Arabian, Russian (front), Barani, Cuervo, etc elements from acrobatics/circus elements that carried over to gymnastics nomenclature?

Let’s not forget ShanFan’s plethora of gifs! 👏

Yep. GGMB began with the late Doc Marten.

Worlds after-party. Lic Sac bumped into Isabelle on the dance floor, knocking Isabelle’s purse open spilling out her pack of cigarettes.

I can’t remember, but what ever happened to OOBN’s webmaster Skitch (Scott J Einuis)?

Right? I’m worried for her knees 😢

I’m thinking GB?
