And people complain about US MAG selection procedures...

It wasn't just Simone; it was the Simone era, combined with a run of other exceptionally talented people, either prior to or concurrently, such as Raisman, Douglas, Maroney, and Lee. Before that there was Johnson and Liukin in the 2008 quad. It's partly due to chance this all lined up the way...

Cals New Uniforms!

Cal Berkeley Men's Team - looks like something out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Horse doing the Pommel Horse. Sound on for commetary

No, it isn't that they are falling apart. They are less good than they were, that's all. It's that people have short memories. Because they aren't pulverizing the other teams like they have in the past, there could be a slide back into some of the habits of the Karolyi Era, because maybe it...

Stanford is basically an Ivy. I doubt anyone in Singapore would have a problem attending. She doesn't sound interested anyway.

US MAG showed out. They have not won more medals than WAG since 1979 - and that was without Asher Hong.

D/E/SB for top 3 in 2025 men's AA Daiki Hashimoto 32.9/51.931/.3 = 85.131 Zhang Boheng 32.5/51.733/.1 = 84.333 Noe Seifert 30.6/52.031/.2 = 82.831 The podium all hit their routines, 51 + execution is really good. This wasn't a case of the winner being the least bad.

It's fortunate for Sey "Chalked Up" came out long before her COVID quackery, or she would have had a lot less credibility. This is coming from someone who wasn't thrilled with shutdowns, school closures, or COVID vaccine mandates - and I thought on these subjects she was just purposely...

That will never happen. The fanbase doesn't want it. In fact, there would probably be riots. They also compete shorter and mostly easier routines than elite. It isn't just the scoring. I wonder what some of these routines would score under FIG - probably not great (although the execution tends...

Ahoy Arena seats 16,000 + (although I assume they won't use all those for Worlds) but there is no way this thing is really sold out. I agree it is punishing people who buy early.

I'm surprised at how well Kameron Nelson did on FX. It's not often that a score at Worlds outscores the NCAA scores for the same routines.

I bought tickets in a crap section. Oh well

Ghat GPT takes on the FIG and Indonesia in a version of the parable of the scorpion and the frog.
