2020 Event Finals Day 1 MAG FX/PH WAG VT/UB (Sunday, August 1, 2021)

[Livi]

Why is Skinner not over the moon!?? She wasn’t even supposed to be in this final.

 

[RedBirdie]

I would say Skinner has to be crazy to think her vaults were superior to Rebecca’s, but…Skinner gonna Skinner.

 

[Gymfan93]

It always seems to be the way- silver not happy, bronze thrilled!
Skinner should be pleased- a few days away she was going home with zilch.

 

[tempest]

I dislike Skinner’s attitude

 

[Hatsumomo]

What point would that be at the expense of a life-ruining injury?

 

[Livi]

Yeah did she think it was between her and Jade only?

 

[arabiandoublefront]

She’s never satisfied. I just remember her attitude towards her placements in NCAA.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I have no idea. That the sport should be about clean, low difficulty gymnastics again? But difficulty is rewarded in men’s, so it’s super confusing to me. Probably some misogynistic attitude about women being fragile. I see it a lot among fans regarding the women’s quad revolution in figure skating.

 

[Livi]

Shallon Olsen seems devastated as well. Though a medal would have been highly unlikely I would say? Still, sad to see her being so sad.

 

[QuietColours]

Thoughts on Yeo vs Moreno? Only .017 between them

 

[Livi]

Also poor Jade. May she redeem herself tomorrow in floor finals

 

[Hatsumomo]

Yeo deserved the bronze I think. Her eponymous vault was quite amazing and it was a decent landing, though deep.

 

[Livi]

I’m glad to see Skinner happy after all. She really deserves this silver, she was absolutely the second best today

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

If Skinner is actually pissed off at this, she doesn’t help herself. She has just won, and unquestionably deserved, an Olympic silver medal.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Oh wow, I didn’t notice this set-up they have for the athletes to talk to their family after competitions! That’s great!

 

[Livi]

Oh wow, I didn’t notice this set-up they have for the athletes to talk to their family after competitions! That’s great!

And sad at the same time. Shallon seemed like she wanted to hug that screen

 

[Caledi]

It’s great but also kind of weird that they have to do it so publicly.

 

[Hatsumomo]

It has to be so hard for these athletes to have their biggest moments and disappointments so far away from their families and can only video chat with them. In a few days, they’ll be home and get all the hugs.

I hope it’s a one time thing only and this stupid virus will be under control next Olympics.

 

[Dympie]

Stomach is in knots… Go Rhys !!!
