Improved mental health and finding passion for a sport you used to love is a big deal. I would call her comeback reasonably successful.

I agree with you but I have started to hear other NCAA sports—not gymnastics—talked about in this fashion in recent years on sports talk radio. "Business" may have been a more savory /better fitting term (rather than "product") for my post. Again, I kind of hate this, but it seems that NCAA...

The interesting thing to me is that, for the "product as a whole" (competitive, accurately scored NCAA tournaments, strict scoring that you can understand seems ideal. If the "product" is a TikTok or a reel, maybe a 10 is better. What do you think?

That was super interesting. Beckie sounds so thoughtful and levelheaded. It was interesting to hear her talk about the changes that she saw BWG make in 2024 that showed her that they were able to learn and change. I’m glad she seems satisfied with Paris.

I was listening to a baseball radio show today and during the general sports hour they said Netflix had footage proving that only 47 seconds passed before Cecile appealed. Now, these radio personalities don't care too much about Olympic sport so I'm not sure how accurate this info is and I am...

Thanks. (I couldn’t keep up with that thread.)

Can anyone recall a previous score inquiry being rejected for being too late? (Excluding inquiries that were obvious like being a day too late or an hour too late.)

I really don't understand the speed at which this is all happening. Especially when I'm comparing it to the Japanese and US figure skating teams just now getting their medals from the 2022 Olympics. (I know, I know. Different situations, different sports, different Olympics. But I really don't...

This argument actually makes some sense to me. Do I have internet brain?

Agreed that they should award multiple medals. I know the IOC hates ties but the do happen. I remember two gold medals for high jump(?) in Tokyo. The IOC has recently covered up positive sopping tests and allowed those athletes to compete and win medals in Tokyo (search Chinese swimming...

Formal was not quite the best word (but fancy wasn't what I wanted either). What I meant was, why are they expected to have every hair in place when they are sweating and competing? (I'm still not sure why people were upset about Gabby's hair in 2012.)

This morning I thought, " Maybe I won't check the forum and I'll watch unspoiled tonight. Won't that be a treat." That isn't going to happen. I'm so excited!!!

Why are female athletes expected to look like they are going to a formal event while they are competing?

Just took a peak at the results. In know there is one rotation left, but I would be super happy with the results as they stand.

Surfing was shockingly boring. My husband said it really just needs to be a highlight reel.
