Does Georgia have a ton of open spots or are they going to have to start being picky?

I think the difference is that Americans put the knife down after cutting and don't keep gripping it. Also, generally, the fork stays right-side up when delivering food to the mouth, rather than being flipped over. (All info i have gathered from movies, I don't care how anyone holds their...

Will it help though? Cecile and Laurant also weren't very successful in getting Josc's form to a place where the judges would be happy.

I love that the pen holding has become a topic. On that topic, I found this image: 1 is how they tried to teach me in school, but 2 I think represents how I do it--my middle finger takes the pressure and guides while the pen rests on my ring finger. So for some reason, I just moved the...

Are all the Algerian athletes French born? If so, not great, if not, well those Algerian born gymnasts likely wouldn't get to do a Worlds team competition without the score boost Nemour brings. 1 or 2 could make it as individuals with WC events and then never get out of qualies. Nemour would...

I always felt that Worlds should be about the best gymnasts, even if that meant they were all Romanian or whatever, while the Olympics should be about diversity. At least, if your fed has the money to send a gymnast to europe/ME, the world cup circuit can qualify you. Unfortunately, that is hard...

It's too bad they can't make the first team worlds of a quad and "open" worlds and let any country send their team with ranking determining who gets invited the next time or making updated continental quotas. Because there are some emerging Asian teams, and I have hopes that Mexico is going to...

Jade Carey is starting elite again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18m8imTU6t/

Man, how we would all gasp if an NCAA team showed up to a competition in a classically cut, 3 stripe leo with a racerback.

Maybe we should break this out to a "Simone and NCAA gymnasts Olympic speculation" thread. But we have seen gymnasts come back after having a "natural" boob job/body mod by having kids. ;) If Chellsie could almost do it...

Well, choosing a black background to display a black leo is...a choice. I like the fireworks neckline (minus the turtleneck), don't know that I need the "belt" sparkles.

Anyone but LSU. They are my irrational dislike.

I'd be satisfied if she was a vaulting specialist. US vaulting is just tragic these days.

Feel bad for Jordan's season to end in such a lackluster way, but from the scores, doesn't seem like the team was firing on all cylinders.

Mine in the corner (by the fx) in the lower section were $1000+$200 fees, no gym discount. The primo seats in the middle by beam and vault were more. They were all sessions but the people next to me skipped the MAG days and I had different people each night of WAG. So I guess there was reselling...
