I don't know - she didn't look great at the 1981 Universiade but of course it was in Romania and her scores were better than anything the wildest night of the SEC could have dreamed up on senior night.

Pole vault? a lot of good former gymnasts do this Also possibly long jump or triple jump could have worked for her with the sort of acceleration/lift she could get

Yes the World Cups seemed to go on for ever last year whereas this year it was blink and you miss it

Romania have had some nice leos in the past 12 months - if we close our eyes and forget the Lidl leo they wore in TF in Paris.

That's a shame for Romania as her dty was useful - but it did look a bit scary last year

I see that at least Sabrina won fx with 13.6 - she was by far the strongest in this field with a huge D score advantage. Does anyone know if Sabrina has just stopped training vt and ub to focus on bb/fx? Obviously her ub was in really bad shape but in 2023 she came 4th in vt EFs at Euros...

I like Leanne but she really needs some time off - she's been going for years without a proper break 2020/21 - named to Olympics but Covid quarantine in Japan 2021/22 - NCAA 2022 - back to elite and world champs 2022/23 - NCAA 2023 - back to elite and world champs 2023/24 - NCAA 2024 - back to...

Yikes - 5.8D and the same 5.8E! Any I think they were being kind given the wobbles, short leaps and 2 falls

Wow for Mizzou Florida has looked shaky in recent weeks and it's caught up with them

Doha always seems to be a lower tier competition - unless it is an Olympic qualifying event. I guess coming on the heels of several European competitions many federations choose not to travel over Easter.

She looked much better this week - but still only a 7.3 E score as she has multiple issues. She should really rethink some of the leaps.

Well if she could hit 180 on any split leap it would be a vast improvement - or hit a leap connection.

I'm sure that the Dutch team have been choreographing intros for almost a decade -still remember the Beauxbaton/Harry Potter one from years ago

I mean she competed in big multi-day competitions in recent years - junior worlds 2023, Pac Rim 2024 but consistency seems to be an issue for her.

It's a bad start for Romania with their A-team to be almost 4 points adrift from the Italian B-squad
