    I wonder if her team planted those articles. It screams PR stunt to me.

    Simone Biles Rising (Netflix)

    I thought the hair focus in episode 2 was so odd and forced. Straight ponytails are racist now, apparently. How else are people supposed to wear their hair in this sport? Never mind the slew of short perms from the 80s. Or the feathery pixie cuts of the 90s. Oe Martha’s insistence on the girls...

    2024 US Olympic Trials WAG Day 2 (6/30)

    Foot flexibility/toe point is no different than whole body flexibility. You have what you’re born with, and then you make up the difference with work. BUT, it really has to be done during certain periods of growth to have any meaningful effect. Simone clearly doesn’t have the natural arch of...

    In 2012 gabby had the solo room. it was part of the “where’s gabby?” Drama

    Gymnast Social Media Megathread

    For structural things (Bross Knees, this girl's elbows), I agree that there's a level of needing to ignore it/not penalize it. Feet, however, I do not agree with. You can absolutely improve the line of the flattest of feet (and improve the arch as the foot grows) as long as you intervene...

    2024 US Nationals WAG Day 2 Session 2

    I wish a fall automatically put an athlete below one who didn’t fall. Then enforce a minimum start value. Scoring problem solved

    2024 US Nationals Fashion

    Agreed. The makeup choice/eyelashes didn't help either. Felt like I couldn't see her eyes which lends to facelessness.

    2024 US Nationals Fashion

    The crystal explosion in general is overwhelming, but for the life of me, I cannot understand all the criss crosses in the back and why they're on every leotard. Most of the leos would benefit tremendously from simply removing the criss crossess. Whyyyyy

    Gabby Douglas Comeback Thread (New goal: LA 2028)

    Goodness, not everything is a trauma or about trauma, and this sort of speculation on the subject is infantilizing when clearly she’s put in that work to compete in the .01% of her sport. I work with elite and pro athletes across multiple sports. They are a different breed. Not competing isn’t...

    I personally hope Simone is done after Paris. It’s impressive Groundhog Day with flexed feet.

    Where can I find a list of skill values?

    I don’t have the COP and it seems like you have to buy it. Hoping to find a more streamlined option.
