UCLA has been subpar on vault as long as I've been following NCAA (so at least four years). They've also always been one month to one year away from fixing their vault troubles. And here we are. 🤷‍♀️

In semi-related news, I learned from Facebook that Simone had a baby last March (hilarious timing), and that Jordan still doesn't have her floor bronze despite her physics qualifications. News you won't get anywhere else!

So, if you buy a leo from Hezly's line does it come with the bible verse, or is that an add-on?

Attending the midnight mass of hockey instead.

That both sets of fans are going to be insufferable is the only predictable outcome of this game.

Glad you liked the gala @MaryClare. I caught a couple of routines but it's really not my thing. However, I agree with what you said about artistry in the sport; their commitment to artistry (relative to gymnastics) is clear even in their competitive programs. I'm remembering the short-lived...

Lol, well, not emergency declarations exactly. Just a one-day modification of the permitted opening hours. Minnesota (of course it's Minnesota) is doing it too!

These curlers are insanely good! It's like watching witchcraft.

On the women's side I think it's always been USA-Canada for the gold. Makes for a good rivalry but it's not good for the sport.

Total steamroller. Good on Slovakia for getting onto the scoreboard in the end! In other news, the women's free skate was surprising clean and ... wholesome? I loved Ami's reaction to winning bronze. I thought she was disappointed at first, I didn't realise that she just hadn't clocked that...

Canada men's hockey just advanced to the gold medal game after narrowly defeating Finland (thus destroying the dream of a Finland-Slovakia gold medal match). If I'd been watching hockey during these Olympics I'd for sure have heart problems by now.

This is the way. Enjoy!

Did you see one of the hockey games live @MaryClare? What else are you going to see? Comp tickets to whatever sounds like an incredible opportunity. I can't deal with the intensity of hockey right now, especially on the women's side. The US-Canada rivalry is pretty heated (sorry) in normal...

Vague and unsettling. 1. Some of you are concerned about the future of the program. 2. So are we. 3. Gymnastics has had recurring problems. 4. Gymnastics is the only sport with these problems. 5. Gymnastics has the same resources as other sports, so we are obviously not the problem.

I don't know how much the touch can actually affect the rocks trajectory, but the guy's reaction was so embarrassing. Swearing at the Swedes and doubling down afterwards about it not being a touch. The curling federation has some dirt on their hands here as well, as this guy has been doing the...
