@ makam @ Caledi I think I should rephrase my statements more about Safe Sport. My understanding about Safe Sport was the gymnastics experience has to be completely black or white for the athlete. The adults (coaches, trainers and the parents) and everyone else have to accept gray areas. When...

Sophie Buechler: Is it fair to blame the coaches? Her going elite: Given what we’ve seen over the years the environment has changed. You have people who are so worried that they’re going to be labeled as a criminal for discriminating that they will not do anything and drop the bar low enough...

Trent Dimas HB EF 1992 Olympics.

Amanar was only out of 9.90 on FX in AA final in Atlanta. She had no C skills, needed 2, so lost part of her Difficulty bonus needed for 10.00 SV. It cost her the AA silver and she landed tied for bronze. Miller, Mo, Galieva, Dawes all threw away their routines. Even Strug would have outscored...

Correct. My bad.

Moceanu subbed in for Strug. Strug did double layout, front fulls layout then piked, and full-in dismount. The big question about Moceanu in Atlanta FX final was the combination pass. The rules said 2 passes ( a pass being at least 3 elements and one being a Salto) and three different somis...

Front tumbling being Ds: Front fulls (and higher) were the same as full-in back out as that is how it was since the D catagory was instituted in 1985. That code is available at gymnasticsresults, as well. In the 1992 Cycle WTC kept them both as Ds but in 1993 they downgraded the double somis...

Ludvine Furnon 1996 Olympics FX 1B RO (A)-ff (A)-double layout (E); front handspring (A)- front layout full (D)- tucked front (A); switch leap (B)- straddle jump (B) - straddle jump (B); RO- (NV)-FF (NV)- tucked full-in (D); tucked leap wolfe (A)- RO (NV)-shushunova 1/2 (C); front handspring...

In optionals most gymnasts have 10.00 SV. You only needed 3As, 3Bs, and 3Cs for the base score of 9.40 provided you have all your special requirements. After that it is 0.3 in bonus and 0.3 in extra Ds/Es. She probably made 10.00 SV even with a possible loss of the skill; she may have had enough...

If she had a 0.2 deduction she lost the skill for SV and bonus.

Marco posts as Marketoromagnolo on YouTube. We have had many delightful exchanges over Atlanta quad gymnastics. If you look up many of the big competition videos you can see our exchanges. I have stopped all social media such as YouTube now but did not have a problem with him.

The prelims we’re held across 2 days. There were four sessions each day IIRC. FX/V/PH/UB/SR one day and then V/BB/PB/FX/HB the next but run all at the same time not alternating like EF now. There were 4 gymnasts allowed per team in prelims, but only 3 per AA and 2 in EF. AA had three sessions...

I have seen a few of her interviews on YouTube and you can see for yourself a lot about what happened. She is unfortunately delusional with her views on social media. She likes to use it for her advantages but dislikes when it cuts her down. She doesn’t see it as wings of the same beast. She...

Would you consider making a zero tolerance policy for political topics/views on this forum going forward? I was trying to enjoy the live thread for the 2nd day event final from Liverpool until I saw the harassment of Brody Malone (USA) that was allowed to continue. His political views are not...

It was worse pre-1993 with value raising. That was horrible.
