I really hope this includes IRCOS, similar to how an STS subscription lets you watch all Worlds and Olympics IRCOS from 2014-present

I've also always found it interesting that He Kexin wasn't sent to 2007 Worlds. In 2003 & 2007 gymnasts turning senior in 2004 & 2008 were able to compete at Worlds for experience and to help the Olympic teams they'd be eligible for qualify Her 2007 bars was very competitive, but It was said...

Alexandra Marinescu was the last Romanian to have her passport falsified Several Soviets did, including Bicherova who was only 12 (IIRC) when she won 1981 Worlds

Yes I think so!

Oprea commits to Clemson

On the flipside of this, I still wonder what Ana would have scored with the clean 2.5 + 1/1 from quals and the smooth triple wolf from the team final (rather than the double with a precision deduction). It's impossible to know as E scores are so bunched into the same range with inadequate...

Do you know if these still exist? I'd love to see them. I love his interview after quals where he is very candid

It's a shame Mara Ceplinschi is so inconsistently healthy, as she's shown hints of brilliance at times. At the second trial for 2024 Euros she hit a DTY & a 13.850 on floor (Sabrina went 13.650 for a well hit routine, Barbosu 14.000 - international judges on Elevien). Her beam is also incredible...

My problem with this is that it clearly isn't live transcribing the routines, and from clips I've seen it seems to struggle when the routine isn't exactly as submitted beforehand (which obviously doesn't happen in FIG competition). The one I notice most is when they only do a double wolf instead...

No she was not - watch her vaults from RomGym Trophy that September. An extremely low DTY & a half on front tuck landed in a deep squat She had personal motives (EF and/or Olympic qualification) to hit beam & floor, but absolutely none for vault

She's a 2007 like Amalia Ghigoarta, so I think she'd be 2027. AFAIK Romania has an extra year of school, which is why Lilia Cosman (who did American online school in Romania) is joining at the same time as Ana Barbosu who is a 2006.

One of the worst cases of coaches not caring for athlete safety I can think of At 2022 Euros, Romania originally had 4 girls doing the AA with Silviana Sfiringu benched (she was sick). She was also coming back from a broken ankle and broken bones in her neck, and only did VT/UB/BB that season...

Ella Oprea (Romania) is visiting Clemson. She's coming back from multiple ankle injuries and only did bars (13.15 ROU/FRA, 13.1 Euros, 12.9 Worlds) this season. She consistently has really, really good handstands Vault Bars Beam Floor

The Cercea incident is true, actual Romanian gymternet members with connections to the team were talking about it earlier this year. Anamaria Mihaescu also filed a complaint against Sabrina & Camelia, as did the team's physiotherapist. The Voineas do not allow Denisa & Anamaria tu use...
