This is exactly what happened with the split jump and Heath, because they admitted it in the letter the FIG wrote to Heath Thorpe when they didn't credit the leap he submitted at Liverpool. I know a judge who saw the letter - THIS IS FOR GIRLS!!!.
It's dumb. MAG used to do leaps. I guess the...
Being put in an Olympic lineup isn't what most people would call vindictive. I have no argument with you that it was poor management. I have no idea why they put in Orozco on vault instead of Horton. It makes no sense.
The AA thing at Worlds probably was personal. I think they were not going to...
The men's AA leader Dukhno is only 17.
He has a Yonakura (didn't do that here) and a Y triple twist.
He finished way ahead - Sr and Jr scores in MAG aren't that different anymore because both have 8 skills. His score would have been good for 5th in the Jakarta AA, ahead of Oka Shinnosuke. I...
I think it was Orozco. He has his own spin.
When there are more people than there are spots on teams, people will always find reasons why this or that person wasn't picked.
Orozco was chosen for two Olympic Teams. Not sure what he's complaining about.
It seems there is some kind of feud between XRT fans and ZBH fans or somethig.
I wish MAG in the USA could get people this worked up (or maybe I don't).
The closest thing was probably me when I got furious at the 10,000 people who claimed Steven Legendre had no artistry.
Re: Khoi - I heard that he was deciding whether or not to continue, so he didn't put in an injury petition for NT. As of a couple of months ago, he was reportedly still hanging out at Stanford. We should know more when NCAA starts up - like if he shows up as a volunteer assistant for Stanford...
The Japanese Rhythmic doesn't follow the FIG rules. I think the Spanish version does.
The Spanish uniforms look a lot like the women's rhythmic uniforms. I think those would be a hard sell in the US!
I enjoyed the book, and it didn't give me the negative impressions that many others here had.
However, I lost respect for her after her rants about COVID, vaccines, and trans issues. She's just hungry for attention and comes across as very nasty. She also exaggerated the crap out of the effects...
I don't think USAG is purposefully ignoring Donnell. It's MAG, and USAG has a history of not caring about that as much as they should. No one could accuse them of ignoring Gabby Douglas or Simone Biles.
If Donnell stays healthy and comes back on FX and VT, he could be an MVP for the USA. I...
Which deductions would you quibble with (just for my learning). I assume this person got the same total as the judges.
That was a pretty cool video. I've made some of these, and they are a lot of work.
