I’m travelling atm so I can’t check what I paid in Paris, but I bought tickets for a friend and she said:
“I transferred €1,220 for WAG TF, WAG AA and all EF in Paris so by these prices all my Paris tickets were approx $100 cheaper than the same category ticket for just Women's AA Final in LA”...
The prices are wild. So much more expensive than Paris.
From a friend of a friend. I am very conflicted about going to the US right now but I did register to give myself the option.
I really enjoyed Okamura Mana on beam, lovely work and a charming performance. Japan are fast becoming one of my favourite teams. Beam EF in Baku was more enjoyable than American Cup beam - two gymnasts did backward roll to handstands 😍 (not the only reason!).
I didn't mind this and thought it fit the mood of the music and choreography. Agree with all the comments about leg form/extension being great but upper body not so much. Doesn't help that her neck is very short.
I didn't go to the English Champs this year so this is a mix of bits I caught on the stream and reports from friends who did go.
Abi Martin has a new floor routine (13.6) in a different style to her usual (dramatic rather than upbeat). She got lost on her DTY in warm up (thinkBiles Tokyo Y1.5)...
GB men’s curling team getting another silver was heartbreaking. Their interview was hard to watch and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a team so upset on the silver medal rostrum.
