Catching some snippets or Group 2 while taking lunch. Cuba is making me want to cry. They are doing like Level 5 bar routines and failing badly. They all look so sad. I just want to give them all a hug.

Does Sabrina suffer from stamina issues? The first half of the routine is great with stuck landings, then by the second half with the third pass she looks exhausted and can barely do 180-degree splits and lands short on her tumbling passes.

Sounds like Michael Jordan. Amazing athlete does not always translate into great coach.

Or open / own a gym? I don't know her educational background or skills outside of being an athlete, but continuing to compete doesn't seem sustainable. She's been doing an amazing job, but for how long? What would be her Plan B?

So looking at Sr. WAG scores for Cottbus vs. Winter Cup, the US scores are not that far out of line, except for Beam where China dominated with scores in the 14s. For some reason, Winter Cup Event finals scores are missing now, except for Vault, but on that event alone, US women would have swept...

We're from the US and moved to England when kiddo was about 9 with a September birthday. Kid got moved back one year (and complained bitterly about it) resulting in going from one of the youngest kids in the class in the US to the oldest in England. I was a bit unhappy about it at first because...

Same here! It looks like something French WAG would wear as they often have national flag colors on the cuffs of their leos. Top left is nice too. Kind of like a simpler version of the USA WAG Paris Team final leos.

Imagine how her Floor routines would be scored today with her incredible artistry!

Of this list, I see Dulcy Caylor, Tiana and Hezly as top contenders for competitions early in this quad. Simone Rose, Madray, and Jayla seem to have struggled making the transition from Juniors to Seniors. Zoey is the youngest of the bunch so we'll see. I don't know much about Evelynn Lowe...

According to Spencer, BalanceBeamSituation blogger, it's a "wheeeee". Honestly, this was the most hilarious blog post ever!

Yes, and there is more than one dog, but Beacon is the most (bestest) well known.

Looks so clean! Her technique is just so impeccable. It's a tad under-rotated though, so a 2.75 yurchenko, but with more practice I can see this becoming a true triple.

Insert meme of Simone's Team Final FX eye roll here (because I don't know how to do that).

Agreed, she is one of my all time favorite gymnasts with that unique combination of elegance and quiet power. I've nearly gotten over the fact that she's not in Paris. That said, I hope to not see her compete until 2026 or even 2027. I hope she finds the the right balance of taking the time to...

Feels a bit like a Courtney McCool moment for Hezly.
