I love that the wall of champions is such a huge thing. I wish more countries did this.

I don’t know. Gage is very cultish and the Crain family were very much drinking the kool aid

All I could find was that she was named to the 2000 Olympic team although she hadn’t had the sort of success in 98-00 we might have expected. However she was injured whilst training in Australia and was replaced by Paula Thomas. She came back after injury to place 3rd at the 2001 British and...

Seeing this post from intl gymnast reminded me of Melissa Wilcox and how good she was. But what happened to her? I vaguely remember there was some sort of “story” there. Anyone remember?

Mohini was senior since 1993 and eventually made the Olympic team in 2004

It isn’t. You’re only thinking about beam in the wag form that we know. Men’s beam could be completely different to that. Just like men’s floor is very different to women’s. No. We call rhythmic gymnastics artistic gymnastics. Xудожественная гимнастка/khudozhestvennaya gimnastika

Yes, but different content and broadcast licensing agreements. It is extremely unlikely that HBO will buy the broadcasting license to show the CWGs in North America. They only have the UK broadcasting rights

UK HBO is not the same as US HBO

It’s very obvious why the required difficulty on bars is so low and why changing it would be extremely unpopular

Never got the fuss over Nola Matthews. She’s like Eythora. It’s just way too theatrical and OTT

Some very nice gymnastics from Morgane O-R. Excited to see what she can do next year, she’s put in a lot of upgrades but makes it look very easy

Also, in the background to all this is the fact that Mrs Colas and Mrs Nemour HATE each other. And last week, kaylia gave an interview detailing the abusive coaching at Avoine. Which is exactly what the French fed accused them of in the first place. It certainly places an interesting...

So what exactly did recovery look like under Marta? If several gymnasts have mentioned it, then it must have been a “thing”. But yet gymnasts were constantly competing with injuries

I’m sure it’s Portugal from her mother’s side and Hungary from her father’s. Colas sounds pretty Hungarian.
