That was a painful watch. Will be rooting for her on beam.

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.

Flag football is going to be in LA right? I’ll have to learn what it is by then!

I enjoyed MAG FX and the more interesting corners.

Hope Nemour can produce a routine like that in finals this time.

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.

It’s led to some entertaining internet fun 😁

I was double screening men’s singles and skeleton (woooo 🥳🇬🇧) and enjoying the skating. IPlayer left skating as the top group came on and only returned when BBC2 came back with Grassl. Felt cursed. What a mess 🙈 Looking forward to finding the winning prog later.

Can’t take my eyes off the floor leap 😍

I’m gutted for the British pair. Beat all the remaining teams during the round-robin but weren’t their best in the semi and then had a shocking 6th end conceding five to Sweden. They came 4th four years ago so the bronze medal match is going to be stressful (against Italy as well).

Is this about USA nationals?

Thank you 🙂
