I'm a Lisa Frank kid for life, so I love the arena!

I absolutley loved watching her during her NCAA career and she's one of the ones I will really miss, so I can't say I'm not hoping this goes well for her. I'm not sure how far she can go with it, but I think something more like "qualify elite" and then "qualify for Nationals" or "make the...

I personally find a lot of the pictures tacky, but I have no problem with the fact that they take them. Not my thing, but they can have their fun. I do think the whole royalty thing is trite, though. The throne and crown pictures are like the crown choreography. It's been done to death. Somebody...

There have been rumors about it for a couple of weeks now. Of all of the gymnasts who have been on DWTS, she is the one I'm most excited for just because of how much she loves getting dressed up and performing. I couldn't be happier for her. I still won't watch the show, but I'm sure I'll see...

I think Leanne might have the same problem that I did as a gymnast. Perfectionism limited my difficulty because I didn't feel ready to compete a skill unless I could do it perfectly most of the time. If there were any built-in deductions in my form or technique, I wasn't satisfied. Leanne would...

"Nude mesh" is pretty much the leotard equivalent of wearing the wrong color foundation.

I'm sure she's just happy that people are talking about her. All she has done since 2008 is name pink stuff after herself. I just Googled "Nastia" and it tried to correct me. The only mention of her was almost at the bottom of the first page, and it was a link to a Reddit post about this DC thing.

In my opinion Filatova set the gold standard for wolf turns. It still takes my breath away every time I see it. That slow, steady split she does out of it. Everything down to the position of her hands is gorgeous. Back in the MySpace days, I made an animation of it that I embedded onto my page.

I really enjoyed Gabrielle Hardie's floor performance. I always love Nola Matthews on floor, too. Also, Lavi Crain on everything. I'm really looking forward to watching her over the next few years. Her gymnastics is just beautiful.

I don't get it, either. Terrible form, abrupt movements with no extension, no artistry whatsoever. I feel bad about it, too. I was fine with my hatred of Skinner's gymnastics because she is a terrible person, but Josc seems like a perfectly lovely girl. Her gymnastics is just so "clunky", for...

When I fist saw Simone's dress, I said it was beautiful but it looked like she got it to fit her before she got the boobs. Pretty dress. Great color on her. It just looked uncomfortably tight at the top. I may not like Jordan's dress at all, but I respect the fact that she is doing her own thing...

I'm so glad MS chimed in and gave us her input on the situation. It is always such a pleasure to hear the lovely things she has to say.

Simone Biles is a national treasure, not only as a gymnast but as a human being.

Is she even an alcoholic? I have sympathy for people who are suffering from addiction. If the news story was that she has entered rehab for alcohol addiction, she would be getting some sympathy from me in that situation even though she has shown herself to be a repugnant person so many times in...

I was annoyed with the way ESPN displayed the team scores. I don't mind seeing the difference between each team, but I don't want to have to do mental math to figure out what the actual scores are.
