Understandable. I only looked into it a little bit to see how/when you can apply. I don't have official work in July, which makes that part doable (unless I change jobs). And I do have a lot of family/friends in S. CA (I live in CA, but not at all close to LA). So I might be able to work it...

I just signed up for the lottery and was trying to figure out the ticket prices...and ouch, not interested in paying that much! I think there is a sign-up next summer for non-local volunteers? I might try and volunteer.

I have some tapes from Rick as well that I keep thinking I need to find.

I'm on the West Coast and don't work until 11am tomorrow, so I might watch the first hour.

Is there a way to get the longlines score link to show all scores and not just the last one? It worked fine for the men. =(

Mine plays fine on my computer, but buffers if I try to play through website on my TV.

Link to scores?

This graphic is a little misleading because I believe the 11pm EST Tuesday is actually Monday night in the US, even though it is the morning of 10/21 in Indonesia.

Exactly. 😑

:rolleyes:

I don't think it should come into play in terms of fairness -- because you and MaryClare are right that there will always be physical attributes that benefit athletes in different sports. I think it is more if we want to see more of certain skills, how would we need to adjust the apparatus for...

True - I just think the way the sport has moved towards more difficulty, it is worth thinking about these ideas others have suggested because the floor skills of today are very different from when floor exercise was created. But if we only want the shorter gymnasts to do certain...

But perfect technique doesn't matter if you are too tall to fit the pass in the floor space. A physicist could calculate how much space a 4'8" gymnast vs. a 5'4" gymnast would need with perfect technique to generate a given skill from x number of steps and a ROBH. Taking 4 steps into a hurdle...
