I kind of do too. I don't think I've ever seen a leotard use what looks like to be watercolors bleeded together.

I loved how happy Chuso was after vts.

Ok, so what does AIN stand for and why were parallel bars second and not pommels?

I know nothing about training and expectations of a gymnast advancing but when I read this the first thing that came to mind was Daine do Sontos. She started at 12 and 8 years later she was a world champion on floor. So just some food for thought.

I just watched this the other night. I love the choreography here because it matches the music so well. Hitting all the beats and such. One of my favorites in terms of music and movement matching.

I have question about Nemour's beam. On her elements that land backwards (like her mount) after she lands she slides her front foot back. Would that get deducted? I can't recall a gymnast doing that.

I like the top one on the far right.

This is the meet where I fell in love with Laschenova. I loved that she had so many different skills. Her layout on beam was so floaty. She is my favorite Soviet gymnast. Anyone know what happened with her? I vaguely remember something about her not being able to stay in country because she...

Wow those bars. Horrifying I did like seeing Ana wearing shorts. That was the highlight of all the routines for me.

In regards to team finals here. I have always been bothered by the reaction of the Russians. Why weren't they fuming or at least depressed. At the end they were all happy with fourth after 4 falls? There attitude and demeanor seems so un-russian. What was up with that?

I know Motak left Ukraine with her folks. What happened after that? She could have really helped Ukraine or Poland.

I was not the biggest fan of her gymnastics, but I always admired her work ethic and determination.

Does China use sports psychologists?
