I know he still posts here under a different name but I miss when Nastiafan101 would publish full replays. I still have some of his old google drive full replay links saved

The FIG is a disgrace but from what I've read, it seems like the IOC are the organisation refusing to grant multiple medals?

In keeping with the theme of incompetence at the FIG, I assume that other inquiries over the years have been filed over the limit. This is just the first time it has led to such a catastrophic scenario. If Jordan was first up and her score was changed, it would have received no attention.

I know Zhang is sick of Oka.

Agreed. And unlike some people on twitter, I'm sure she's is not taking the competition (Rebeca) lightly. She will go out there knowing that she needs to produce a strong performance, not thinking she can coast and a gold is guaranteed.

GB scoring more on BB than UB is genuinely hilarious

It's not just about the team for her though. She is one of a handful of gymnasts below the top 3 that have scored 55+ internationally and would be in the running for a medal if Jones has a bad day or Andrade has a terrible day. She has some decisions to make.

Simone’s longevity is just crazy. 9 national titles and more dominant than ever??!!!? This was already a historic career back when she had won like 3.

For some reason, that post is more encouraging than the initial statement. I’m also not convinced that the foot is the main issue but I hope she’s aiming to continue training, work on her head and return with more time in the gym and under much less pressure outside of an Olympic year. She liked...

Not only are these posts nasty, they’re also just stupid. Sorry. Gymnastics is a minority sport that nobody watches outside of the Olympics. Unless a gymnast is on an Olympic team (or already dominant like Simone or Rebeca) and being broadcast to millions, no company is going throw significant...

I checked and according to her interview with International gymnast, she first got back in the gym in July 2022, so actually 22 months ago. I don’t think it was unreasonable for her to have thought she might be ready in time and I certainly thought it might be ok just in terms of tkming. But it...

I want her to do well at nationals but I also hope she and the people around her are honest to themselves about her shortcomings. Namely that she left it too late, she is simply out of time but she is not that far from being competitive. I'd love to see her aim for simply getting an Olympic...

Other athletes, definitely. But I doubt any of these girls aside from Simone are earning enough for that. I don't know about this. Suni's stock is definitely up and she is a top contender but she still hasn't performed a successful elite bar routine since Tokyo. She still has to show that her...

Ah man.

With both Gabby and Simone, the backlash was so intense, extremely personal and they both had nasty high profile individuals going after them and whipping up their followers to turn it into a culture war talking point. I think it's pretty much impossible to avoid it, really, when you've got...
