I don't love the Eteri machine of chewing up a young skater and then dropping them like a hot rock when the new hotness moseys along but without a doubt, the results would have been different with a couple of Russian ladies in the field. I don't know what could be done to stop a coach or...

I haven't been watching much lately (I don't know if they are still hiding the competitions behind paywalls but I definitely stopped watching when that happened) but I don't think Glen has been the most consistent competitor at any competition. I'm glad for her when it comes together but it...

Kinda rancid to call out the gymnast unless she is implicated in the crimes. Like the girl doesn't have enough shit to deal with, especially if mom has a gambling addiction in addition to being a thief.

I assume the athlete chose to wear a bodysuit under the leo so she would have some support or is that part of the design? Cuz holy shit, I recall the desire in college to be sexy but at some point don't you have to make a design that can actually do the job? What's next, "naked leos" to go with...

I think it is kinda awesome--you can see who is skimping on what should be a super basic thing and ding the hell out of them. Do we think the Chinese or Japanese guys are going to show up with a wobbly airplane? (Honestly asking, I haven't been seeing any of the world cups if they've sent any...

And giving it away on beam... but OU looks nervy too.

Missouri should rethink those backless leos. (Can't hear the music for fx and it makes some of the dancing just tragic...)

The Facebook algorithm knows my interests. Gymnasts try diving, featuring Ellie Black, Trinity Thomas, and more: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/12GYTGQmWJW/

"Not all candidates were as downbeat. Japan’s candidate Morinari Watanabe, the president of international gymnastics who came fourth with four votes, summed up his efforts succinctly afterwards. “Eight years gone in two minutes,” he said, smiling as he clapped his hands."...

I'm not dance knowlegeable, but I likes what I likes. Always been a sucker for junior Maile O'Keefe: And I've stanned this one since I first saw it. I liked how she never moved in the way I expected:

And, I am not exaggerating, I have no gymnastics skills, probably can't even do a forward roll anymore (okay, that one I could probably do but nothing after that) and I can do a better scale than these guys ere showing.

So, I don't follow MAG very closely...is this rated an E or something now? Cuz if they are going to have men do something wobbly, wolf turns have much comedic potential.

I wish they had a North American stop--it would be easier for CAN, BRA, and even the US to send new seniors or gymnasts they are hoping to upgrade from B team to A team to get some additional seasoning. Mexico too could benefit from some of their new potential getting some extra competitions...

I'm sorry, there is a gymnast named Grace Grace?

Maybe it is ISU that limits federation changes to a few athletes every year?
