Technically speaking, she didn't earn her spot on the team. She earned a spot in the Olympic training squad. This is because Campi and Okino were injured for Trials and petitioned to the Olympic Training Squad. That was misunderstanding on her part and Parkette's I thought. In the end she had...

It didn't help that Bela Karolyi was talking about it and calling them babies with baby teeth. He said that the North Koreans sent their gymnast in diapers with three different birth dates (that part was accurate). He was not really diplomatic about it. China falsified He Kexin's DOB at the...

Here is an article I saved it goes into depth about the 2008 China WAG. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2008/08/evidence-of-age-fraud-mounts-china-insists-gymnasts-are-16/

You unlocked a core memory. Next year will be 20 years with the open ended CoP.

Yang Yun admitted she was under age in Sydney. We also know that several of 2008 China was underage: Definitely He Kexin was underage we all saw her listed as junior in 2007 with 1994 year of birth, Deng LinLin, Jiang Yuyuan, and Yang Yilin were all possibly underage.

Which would be fine if the conference meet rotated. But it is always at Utah.

Yeah it will make the last few meets really exciting since now we will have to wait until at the very least week 9. I wonder if coaches will be pissed that this passed now but schedules have already been produced. Will NCAA allow teams to add to their schedule? For example Utah has only 4 away...

I am shocked that they went away with the 6 scores and went with 9. I think it is a great idea and is more representative of what a team can actually consistently do. I wonder how 2925 would have turned out with this format. I know Greg Marsden was unhappy with the neutral site being 30 miles...

Didn;t they lift that?

AIN 2 will likely qualify to Los Angeles. AIN teams competed at the recent World Trampoline and Tumbling Chamipionships. As long as AIN2 gets to compete at Euros, they will qualify to Worlds.

I forgot about that, I was thinking of her more with the split leg double layout on floor.

Congrats to Jordan for finishing in 3rd place. Robert Irwin and Witney Carson won, they were the front runners from the start so rightfully deserved win.

I couldn't find the Twitter post, but here is the Instagram post. Also, my mid 40s brain fog has gotten to me, but I think she might have been the 1st to dismount bars with a full twisting DLO?

It's no wonder that Bela treated Dominque like garbage in her "comeback" in 2000. IIRC, she was initially placed in the B team after one camp by Bela.

No Moceanu posted on Twitter/X over the summer that she never got her mount, the variation of the Silivas named after her. She wanted to know if she could submit the skill retroactively.
