I can’t find the link anymore, but today the team had an interview with Hoda in which Simone was asked what she thinks the biggest misconceptions around her withdrawal were. She said the misconception was that she was at no safety risk, because she physically couldn’t do the skills as she was...

I have never been more anxious for a final in my life…

A few weeks ago FIG uploaded a seminar about ‘lost skill syndrome’ (much more imposing name than the twisties lol). It’s 45 minutes long, I haven’t watched it yet so I’m not sure how insightful it is, but might be of interest to some.

Team Canada say it’s a sprained ankle and she hopes to return for BB finals

Absolutely devastated. Wish things didn’t end like this. Hope she’s okay.
