Not really, but compared to what they probably were wearing in competition before college, it is definitely more "forbidden skin." Add in the strappy bandage look that a lot of leos go for... well, i hope the gymnasts are comfortable in it because less is best seems like the trend.

I had mad respect for Kyla Ross wearing her bra (though clear, thin strapped so not the most supportive style), damn the open back. I can see the Maryland gymnast is also wearing hers. Most respect will go to whoever wears a completely supportive bra, not clear, with the shitty back. Or wears a...

Yeah, that would be a reality show worth watching.

I signed up to be in the lottery to maybe get a ticket. Those prices blow (are they gymnastics or basketball? ) but with 2 years to save, i can make it work. I couldn't take the time off work to be a volunteer, much as i wish. But I hear the best bet is knowing some sponsors...

FIG could put it online and say that 1x a year, anyone can try no matter what their federation does or doesn't do. Maybe you can't get top grade at the online bit and have to then go to one of the in-person classes to upgrade but it would give people who think their fed isn't giving them...

They didn't want to ask Martha if she had some free time?

I think his season record is superior. Aren't all the guys not named Ilia (and Jason a decent percentage of the time) pretty known for choking internationally?

I don't understand the nuances, but it looks like good ole Romania, can count on them to do the dumbest stuff for political reasons. "Dig up, stupid!"

I'm starting to get excited to add another lanyard (or 2 for the paralympics!) to my collection!

As much as I love Jason Brown, it sounds like he didn't bring it when needed. Maybe alternate based on season results vs the other men, but sounds like others have a better claim to the spots.

Hell, half the time these days, with a cheap as cameras and streaming are, it is a crapshoot if we get podium training or qualis streamed/shown. If no broadcaster steps up to pay to show it, no one gets to see it. A stationary camera on a tripod on the side of the apparatus is generally...

So I am not an expert, but division wins are basically just bragging rights. Like, who the SEC champ is only matters to school boosters and alums. In-conference meets often net generous scores though which helps season rankings so there is a benefit. That said, a team can be ranked 30th and...

Did I indicate it was unique to her somewhere?

No, but we could have gotten her perspective on it rather than a "we love each other forever!" kumbaya moment. But again, I realize that wasn't the intent of the book. if she ever writes another from her older perspective, maybe that will be in there.

I was meaning the Olympics. There was definitely some Gabby tension/drama/personality mismatch happening. But I would also think Jazmyn going from the Golden Hope to barely an afterthought in the eyes and attention of an abusive coach would spill down to the children.
