2020 Event Finals Day 3 MAG PB/HB WAG BB (Tuesday, August 3, 2021)

[Kittentoes]

Imagine a Urazova, Lee, Black podium.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

This podium would make me look average height.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I’d be downright gigantic.

Then you have my bff who is 6’4"…

 

[arabiandoublefront]

What about Latynina, John?

 

[onodian]

LATYNINA WAS A KOMMIE

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Caslavska, Keleti, Astakhova, Comaneci, Tourischeva, Korundi, and Muratova have more for women, too.

 

[KorbutFan]

I was surprised how quickly Kinsella and Morgan from the British team returned home. I think they were back in the UK within 48 hours of winning the team bronze.

 

[MaryClare]

Been meaning to ask, why do the US athletes have that special face mask they only use for medal ceremonies?

 

[Kittentoes]

Please don’t let it be a Nike deal…

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Pretty sure it’s a Nike plug. It’s not even on the market yet. Supposedly, it’s more breathable.

 

[MaryClare]

But they don’t seem to be able to wear it other than at medal ceremonies? Is it like the white NASA suit they have? Sorry but it looks like they’ve been selected for the next Apollo mission

 

[QuietColours]

No-fall finals are over

 

[MaryClare]

But it doesn’t seem like they can wear it whenever they like. Weird

 

[lovegymnasts]

That is exactly what I thought! Looks like they are in astronaut suits.

 

[onodian]

nagorny hits!

 

[tsarinajen]

14.533 Nagorny

 

[onodian]

what will they deduct brody with for that hiccups

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Yeah, I don’t know what you do with that.

 

[QuietColours]

John: There’s no way Brody could be more perfect!
Brody: goes over the wrong way

 

[Kittentoes]

I know that the deals are really really weird. At least to not-very-good-capitalist me. I know there is stuff that can only be worn on the podium, specific ceremony gear, only goofing around the village kit, all of which shouldn’t be mixed up with training gear or competition wear. In London, remember Old Hags, there was that big grey Nike medal ceremony jacket we didn’t like? That was supposed to have a magical symbolic number of light reflectors or something? But it looked remarkably like a big grey jacket.
