I've always felt the traditional order works best for me, in part because, admittedly, my attention span wanes over time, but fewer and better routines each round keeps me engaged.

The really sad thing here is that science on sports nutrition and wellness did exist back then. They simply did not provide it to the athletes.

Yeah, I got the above score on my first watch of it, no playback, trying to apply the code as is. If I was in charge of the code, the deduction for releve, the deduction for back leg higher on a full split, and the adjustment deduction would not exist, and deductions wouldn't be .1 .3 .5, but...

I actually got exactly 8.3 with only two slow connections, though I felt a bit grinchy taking .1 for artistry (releve, she had some spots where she easily could've used it more). .1 feet on mount, .1 on angle for each of the split series (so .2 for series), .1 slow connection before back...

Holy smokes that roster. Even beyond the Olympians, that's a packed meet! Basically a pre-nationals nationals and I can't wait.

Jade has more height, and Gabby has a slight unecessary pike down (I imagine she was darn well going to get that landing, so help her, and that's why she did that here)

Well, that cements Utah as a "likely toxic" program in my mind. Not only did they promote statements that de facto supported Tom Farden and kept the rest of the staff, but they're adding athletes involved in that to the staff.

I wonder how much the COVID situation affected her endurance this week, too. It could be that she had the endurance, and it's in a temporary dip.

Thank you Some of us here are religious, though I certainly hope I'm not a "nuttie" because of it

To be fair, I think a point and a half on bars, even if still very much a work in progress, is a pretty big improvement. I wonder if whatever club Laurent moves to will become the new big thing

That was my thought, too. Sumanasekera, Roberson, Caylor, etc

Soooo you're advocating for teaching a wrong technique to boot? I'm sorry but nothing about that is smart coaching

Given the number of things a gymnast could choose to train when preparing an AA program for the Olympics, what is probably the hardest release currently being performed (and a release that wasn't even really on the radar when she would've been planning routines for the season) seems pretty out...

Oh fascinating

I guess every gymnast in existence just has a "measly" routine compared to that.......
