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

[MRR]

Andrade will attempt the Amanar in EF, per a Brazilian source:

 

[Big_rock_show]

Has she competed the amanar before?

 

[Caligym]

Yep

 

[tempest]

^^ all throughout RIo but not sure how often since… I think that is how she hurt her knee

 

[Big_rock_show]

Thanks for the quick video!

 

[shirai]

Everyone knew this would be the case but confirmation from USAG…

 

[tsarinajen]

Yeah this was expected. I’d rather she be safe.

 

[shirai]

Yes that TF vault was scary, I really don’t want to see her competing in any final, downgraded routines or not. Just gutted that this is all happening

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Skinner fans are going to be insufferable, but this is what I expected.

 

[tempest]

it would be nice for her to go a a little world cup to get the vault named for her…I wish she could continue to worlds now to end her career on a much better note but there’s that stupid tour

 

[Seyonne]

No surprise. I hope she competes one last time, though. I’d hate for her competitive career to end like this. I wish she could go to worlds just to do her double pike yurchenko and get it named for her.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Yeah, I don’t really want her to end her career on this note, but it really depends on her and if she’s satisfied with the career she has had.

 

[Seyonne]

What if I’m not satisfied with the career she’s had?

 

[rlayt]

We all want more for her. But does she want RIGHT NOW to fight through this? Or is it better to go home and work though it slowly snd carefully.

 

[makam]

Maybe she’ll feel like she has unfinished business and will want to come back for Paris.

For team Belize.

 

[rlayt]

That’s what I want.

 

[dweiss324]

Skinner vs Carey vs Andrade competing the same vaults is going to be… Great. When Rebecca wins. Otherwise incredibly emotionally taxing.

But I’m not that mad about mykayla getting an EF chance. That had to feel absolutely gutting. It’s not like the vault finals of yore have been exemplary displays of exquisite form and grace and control.

 

[dweiss324]

Also this means Melanie in on UB, no??

Wouldn’t mind adlerteg in first reserve now getting the bump into the final either, but I don’t really have anyone I want to nancy kerrigan necessarily either. Why aren’t EFs 12 people again??? Cant this forum just reinvent gymnastics??

 

[rlayt]

I’m happy about Melanie.

 

[Caligym]

Andrade, Carey, Skinner would not make me mad. As long as Skinner does her best vaults she does deserve to be in the bronze conversation.
