I think Peggy felt the pressure to have a winning program and that was what motivated her to do what she did to her gymnasts. So sad because she really could have had something special with the gymnasts she had. Might have been a completely different personality as assistant coach under Nunno...

Eagerly awaiting the top Soviets to get silver behind the Americans!!

Location: TBD March 3-9 2026 Unknown if it is only for American gymnasts or if International gymnasts will be invited. Glad to see its return after 5 years!

Oh good find! I didn't think he had done it.

I think she is going to be a front runner to win. Laurie Hernandez and Shawn Johnson both won and have similar outgoing personalities.

No problem. Yeah team finals was aired on The Olympic Channel and had the usual commentating team of Gannon, Liukin, Dagget. All Around Finals was then held on NBC Sports, and then event finals back on Olympic Channel. It was an odd way of broadcasting.

He did not. Olly did do TF highlights for the FIG channel and also full AA final:

Great analysis. I forgot about Sacramone, as she had two vaults, though her Rudi was .2 less than Ebee's Amanar. Good thought on maximizing medals, but I was looking at it like Marta would have, putting the team competition as priority.

Yeah Carey was automatically the 5th athlete in my mind, so it would be picking the 6th. Skinner is a good point for Rio. But Marta also prioritized team over individual medals, taking Locklear meant removing Biles from bars in TF which would be the bigger point differential for team over...

Fun game: Who is the 6th person in London, Rio, Tokyo, Paris Price Locklear Skinner (it pains me) Roberson

Peszek was also a member of the 2007 World Team and Bridget Sloan was the alternate. IIRC Sloan was supposed to compete with Peszek as alternate but they were swapped after podium training. Classic Marta.

Ezhova's daughter is going to COLLEGE? Already? SIGH
