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

[Dympie]

Not sure why Melnickova looks so relaxed she doesn’t seem to mind when she messes up today

 

[tempest]

I’m hoping someone will bring back the 80s perm.

If that is what it takes to make most gymnastics palatable, I’m all for it
Love Silivas’ perm

 

[arabiandoublefront]

I just want boring ponytails again, but not with poofs, a la 2008.

 

[Livi]

She has a gold and bronze already. I’m sure she’s bummed with the mistakes, but I’m glad to see her relaxed

 

[QuietColours]

Fan looked so good, than sat down her dismount.

 

[tsarinajen]

13.066 Gelya

Side note:
I’ll pretend Aliya is still the champ. Nine years wasn’t enough for me.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

This final is a cluster.

 

[Hatsumomo]

After a clean routine, Fan falls on the dismount.

 

[Livi]

Nooooooo Fan

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

There was me thinking Fan Yilin should be good for bronze.

 

[Livi]

They’re all trying to make a medal for Suni happen

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Come back Aliya, lead your people.

 

[QuietColours]

But yeah, that dismount should only be worth a C. Sure FIG.

 

[RAFIKI]

Same. Bronze for Seitz needed to redeem this final.

 

[Buckthorn99]

I fell asleep after vault. Oops. Woke up in time for nina at least. Dang this final is a mess.

 

[JaJa]

She, Suni, and Melanie all looked tired. Still worn out from AA?

Suni has to be beyond worn out at this point.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Yeah, but it’s not like other Olympic AA champions haven’t won event final medals.

 

[KristyJ]

Bridget talking about how doing gymnastics when you are cold is even more challenging. no kidding. I wonder what would help that? Oh! Maybe a one-touch warm- up. -_-

 

[RedBirdie]

I just want boring ponytails again, but not with poofs, a la 2008.

Chellsie Memmel will save us!

 

[tempest]

Yeah, but it’s not like other Olympic AA champions haven’t won event final medals.

Sadly only Gabby holds that distinction
