2020 Women's Artistic Team Final (Tuesday, July 27, 2021)

[Caledi]

Shouldn’t Simone be wearing a mask if she’s not competing?

 

[QuietColours]

I think we also need to be very clear that these women will be winning silver, not losing gold, if Russia doesn’t have a Grishina-level error on floor. All three have hugely stepped up in incredible circumstances

 

[Hatsumomo]

Simone Biles is an athlete, not a world leader in charge of a superpower country.

 

[Livi]

They can be so proud, either way.

 

[QuietColours]

Asia with a major balance check on her mount

 

[Jack]

Oh wow, Tang faceplants.

 

[tempest]

Grace came and did her job today. She was brought because she’s solid and steady and she gave that in spades. She earned her spot.

can you imagine if Skinner was called to do UB/BB today… shudder

 

[Livi]

And so it begins. Knowing you have to hit beam to win bronze at the Olympics is not easy. Though they did it at worlds.

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Oh no, a vault fall from China.

 

[tsarinajen]

13.5 Grace

 

[JaJa]

That is correct. But she is an Olympian. She is a public figure.

 

[Sasha]

Without (arguably?) their best gymnast. Remarkable.

 

[Hatsumomo]

And yet the Skinner stans will still say she could have come in clutch on those events. The USA could not afford a 7.133 for a hit routine.

 

[QuietColours]

Big bounce from MDJDS, but good

 

[Hatsumomo]

And yet still a private citizen.

 

[rlayt]

And yet the Skinner stans will still say she could have come in clutch on those events. The USA could not afford a 7.133 for a hit routine.

Try arguing that with people who don’t understand the first thing about gymnastics.

 

[Livi]

Could we stop the legal discussion on Simone, or at least make a seperate thread?

 

[QuietColours]

There’s a difference between being a celebrity and a public office holder. Olympic athletes are celebrities.

 

[Sasha]

ROCK STAR. I love this woman.

 

[LMB]

Grace had .401 over Skinner’s qualifying on the last three events.
