Yeah, but I wouldn’t call being a model a job someone should aspire to, most big models were ‘discovered’ at a young age because of their looks. But for an adult to actively seek out a career based entirely on your appearance and focus solely on that is setting yourself up for misery.

Just to clarify, I totally agree with you. I have such respect for athletes like Chow and (getting old school) Marie Roethlisberger, starting a completely new chapter in their life, post-gymnastics. I often wonder how much this has to do with the parents, as I imagine if coming up a legitimate...

I feel like part of the desire for the ‘influencer’ route comes from the attention they received from their gymnastics. They were seen as ‘special’ and ‘unique’ and were in the public eye. I think, especially right after ending their gymnastics career, the desire to ‘stay famous’ and still be...

I doubt Simone is going to come back, with that said however. Simone is a big enough name that she can probably forge a career as ‘Simone Biles’ if she so chooses. Endorsements, commentating, speaking opportunities, etc. Nadia and MLR have both done this, arguably Nastia has done this as well...

Also trying to make this as benign as possible, is there a possibility that the approach she took with Aimee, wherein she would play with upgrades but stayed far more in a ‘lower’, albeit superior to everyone else, level of difficulty, might have prevented the ‘twisties’? Again, I know we can’t...

Yeah, it’s really gross!

I’m thinking Urazova could surprise…or if Slava is pulled, Listy.

Actually, I do. He doesn’t seem like the type to check with his wife before acting out.

Insane, right? LOL! So happy for them!

I think I’m most shocked with GB winning bronze, was so not expecting that AT ALL!
