I feel like there is a lot to unpack on this thread, but I find myself agreeing with most of you even when it sounds like you're approaching it from different angles. A lot of these things can be true at the same time.

Dulcy also said herself that she hadn't taken gymnastics as seriously her first year as a senior and that her second year she changed that course.

I teared up watching her. She's waited so long for this chance. I can only hope she gets another chance in the future.

I feel like Li Xiaoshuang vs Alexi Nemov had so much potential if the former had continued past Altanta, but the rivalry never had a full chance to materialize.

I believe that it was, in fact, written essentially to detail exactly what the disorder looks like. Nowadays people in eating disorder therapy also know not to publish this stuff because it can definitely be used like a checklist too, but they sure didn't realize that when thousands of us from...

Read through and agree with a lot of what y'all said while I was sleeping in, lol. Men's floor- excellent final, wow, thoroughly enjoyed Women's vault- Literally half wtf and all glacially paced judging. They should know these rules, it shouldn't take 10 years to score them. I feel like the...

Just finished watching that marathon broadcast, and I think I aged five years during vault finals. Gonna go back and start on page one here and read through but whew.

I think Hashimoto is definitely moving up the list, and their rivalry also ranks among great rivalries over time. I would be curious what criteria you are using for your groupings?

Yeah, there's no way I am doing 3-6 AM. I will put on the replay when I wake up, and hope I can avoid spoilers till I've watched it all.

Heck, since 1991, I think only four worlds with all-around competition have lacked an American woman on the AA podium, '95, '97, '99, and '01, so they're 26/30 for the last 35 years.

I randomly have in my possession 1975-1979 and 1980-1984 compulsory guides that were given to me at some point, nevermind that I was not yet alive/newborn when they were used. I am happy to look stuff up or link pictures of parts of routine descriptions as desired.

Just caught up, and I agree with Red Birdie that the family sounds super dysfunctional. I hate to say that in some ways I can sympathize with Sey's experiences-- I was also a bit of a self-centered child who struggled with fear in the sport and felt misunderstood when I wanted an explanation of...

I know I spotted it because I recently took up tai chi. So it might require a bit of understanding what is actually martial-arts inspired. Some of the moves did flow, too, though.

Loved Ruby Evan's The purple shade looks fantastic on Dulcy
