Kidding aside, now I saw the routine, it's refreshing that they're willing to give an 8.3 for a routine with clear, albeit not dramatic, mistakes. Makes me almost feel like I could (gasp!) point out most of the deductions without a deep dive within the hearts and minds of every single judge. So...

That's all nice and dandy, but I'm sure I caught her having WRONG FACE at least once so I say -0.3

It just tells me the people writing this shit just don't even understand how this works. You cannot tag something as "right" or "wrong" when you're discussing impressions, unless you give a super clear base of what the expectation is (i.e., what is "right"), which would be damn hard. You could...

No, I don't like Gogean but this arm-waving half-akimbo marathon isn't it either ETA: I do like this better. Btw very good clapping by this audience, adjusting after the accelerando before the second line

I'm sorry, I fully missed this thread, which would have admittedly been better for my mental health. I'd just like us all to watch this video and go: WROOOONG! that's a WROOOOOOONG FACE, Maellyse! WTF do they even mean?

I think basically all the sports that are judged, isn't that right? From that point on the way you do something kind of takes a more importante role. Nobody cares what the winner of a 100m race looks like while running, that's not what that race is going to be decided on.

I understand that the different expectation for women/men is a thing we might recoil at now, but honestly, I think fx with music is probably one of the most beloved things by casual fans, so I don't think that's going anywhere anytime soon. I just wished we'd cap the number of elements, cause...

this is rather dissapointing to me, ngl. On the one hand I'm happy that tran and soares are there as they are both not huge names and so it means at least that the judges aren't simply throwing this onto already favoured gymnasts. What's a little depressing is that none of these routines have...

Skinner can't be our measuring stick for anything. Except vault caressing maybe

Pretty good start to the routine. The leaps do look worse than I remembered tho

I want Kaylia to fall twice and still get gold

I just saw Petisco did a Chuso for EF, little pikey but good for her!

I was VERY confused for a moment here

Who was bb bronce? It's a sunny day in Berlin and so I must go out or who knows when I'll see the sun again

omg that's hilarious. Now they're playing "shut up and dance", which I'm hoping they will play after every fx routine tomorrow too
