Are there any openings in or near NJ? That's Kratchwell's home state. Fun fact: Her younger sister (not a gymnast) attended the college where I teach. I had her in a class about five years ago.

Nemour's UB was also fantastic here. (The same YouTuber has the vid; I'm on a tablet that doesn't like hyperlinks.) "Easy Routine" (15.566) Upgraded opening release and dismount I'm sometimes skeptical of the hype surrounding her bar work, but this routine made me a believer. Again, it's my...

Nemour's beam. This user has a lot of videos from today's competition. I really enjoy Nemour's gymnastics, but I feel so conflicted because she's the biggest threat to my Chinese faves on UB and BB. But if she hits when they don't, it's a no-brainer, right? I'd definitely love to see her win...

Isn't she planning a return to elite, though? We probably haven't seen the last of her.

Yes, Djenna Laroui has a license for Algeria now.

Ooh, who would play Camelia? Maybe Margot Robbie? That would be so deliciously meta.

I remember it, too. I was at a summer institute for Southeast Asian languages, and I watched the WAG team final in a rec room with a dozen or so people from all over the world. I wasn't particularly invested in the outcome, but it was a welcome respite from my Khmer flashcards. I was very...

I wish Yang Fanyuwei had a second usable event. It's hard to envison a UB specialist on this year's Worlds team. Early days, though.

No. If gymnastics had someone like Tonya Harding, there might be something to work with.

Maybe Bobbi Brown realized that Strug's career isn't worthy of a biopic.

We are in the same boat. I've tried so hard not to get invested, but it's futile. I'm prepared to deal with the consequences.

Yes, she had a severe ankle injury at 2006 Worlds and only competed UB. She underwent surgery shortly afterwards.

A gold for Ke Qinqin, and two medals for Hillary Heron! 👏 Oh, yes, Ke had another huge save on beam. I still love the fight, but I'd rather she didn't wobble in the first place!

Her AA from last year's Jr. Worlds is on YouTube: She's not quite at Ke Qinqin's level, but she's very promising. I love the back extension roll on beam. We don't see enough skills like that! I see her as a legitimate contender for the Worlds team this year, or at least the Asian Games.
