Word online is that basically all drop 1 tickets are sold out, so I'll log in to make sure I remember my password, see if there is anything at all, and then hope for a better drop 2 time. If they release more WAG hospitality tickets, I might grab one just so I can say I got to go to gymnastics...

Thread revival because Shannon Miller: One More Time documentary showed up in my Facebook feed. Nunno comes off as reasonably rational which, since he co-produced it, makes sense.

I just got my email with my time slot: April 17th. So, we'll see what is available. One of my friends also put in for the draw at my urging and she got April 15th. So, guess we'll see. I am willing to splurge on one gymnastics event, or else I need to find who is a sponsor and kiss up for those...

Someone posted onilne that they got prelim rounds of gymnastics for $250 a seat. I've always wanted to go to the Olympics but I don't think it will be a manifested dream this time. Like, how do you even know what session to buy? You could be paying $250 to watch a bunch of randos compete (which...

Saw the back of Georgia's and said, "Ew!"

NCAA routines aren't so long and intricate as to need a ton of scripting. Not like a 2008 UB routine anyway.

Okay, I tuned in and was watching some of the stuff that already happened. Anyone know where the scores are being posted? I couldn't find it on the event website. Also, is one of the coaches in Starfleet? I'm pretty sure that is Brad Boimler. /nerd

Florida: I like the ombre orange, the flowers, the raglan sleeves, and again, the lack of belt. Hate the neck and the back. And is that a bunny on the sleeve?

I liked Alabama's lack of belt, still hate the back.

Not sure i agree. Well, some success but not the same success. Clearly she has natural talent but so did Skinner and loads of other gymnasts who burnt out, injuried out, or just never panned out early. Having a coach who wasn't ego-invested in her success, really seemed to work. Probably because...

But that switch full was barfarama. The only truly hideous part of the routine. It can't be worth more than the deductions, right?

It does allow for upsets though. Spain with 4 steady basic routines could overcome a team like Japan if they make mistakes. Not sure a points system would improve things. Mass Start speed skating has points that get you through rounds but don't mean a thing in the final and that is weird. It...

I don't have any facts to back me up but the location. It was in Las Vegas area, right? If it had been near one of the NCAA colleges with a big fan base or near Orlando where spring breakers are, I think more people would have been interested--I'm not flying out to Las Vegas for a 4 hour, 1 day...

It is a butt scraper.

GB trying to give it away...
