Domestic scoring has to be taken with a grain of salt, but a 14.450 puts her in contention with the current top UB workers. Kaylia Nemour won Tashkent and Nina Derwael won Euros with a 14.7 and 14.466, respectively. If she can maintain this level of performance going into senior elite and is...

Ah, I see it now. Thanks. The TV app wasn't showing that option.

Ugh, I hate that FlipNow only offers annual subscriptions

Ouch. Did she get hurt and have to end her routine?

Keirn, definitely. First, I'm tired of journalists who have proven themselves to be useless or those who bend the knee engaging in self-indulgent pontificating about their position in life. But also, we've seen enough situations that the Joscelyn fan club could see her win an AA medal. They may...

The private equity enshittification strikes again. It's killing restaurants and other products, too.

I barely find that easy or convenient. I pay more for a flight to fly out of Dulles that's 15 minutes away from my house vs. BWI.

At least the number of gymnasts named Georgia has been pared down.

We need a facepalm reaction because what?

Would Skinner have done the Cheng in TFs, though? Simone wasn't even doing her Cheng in TFs. Yes, Skinner had a better individual medal chances, but even on paper, she was always going to get 2-per'd out by Simone and Jade and would've ended up as the only American to go home with zero medals...

Who was saying that?

Before Tokyo, yes just VT/FX mattered, but with what happened happening, she would've been put up on bars and beam in TF. As it was, with the AA meet of her life in qualifications, Skinner was 11th in AA, and Grace, with a huge error on beam, was only two spots behind her. On FX, Grace was 0.1...

Which ends up hurting the argument that Skinner should've been on the team based on highest scoring potential. It's one thing to lose an entire point on one event due to a fall or a couple of other major errors. But a knockout routine scoring a point lower between Trials and Tokyo TQ is...

I turned 4 in 1989. I turn 40 this year. She's been competing almost my entire lifetime. She's been competing for more than twice as long as many gymnasts have even been alive.

YESSSSSS! I have been waiting to see her shine as a senior on beam!
