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

[Caledi]

WOW great job for Russia! They were incredible today (besides beam but what else can you expect?)!

I’m not happy about how the team was selected, but I’m proud of the British women for earning the bronze. I really like the Gadirovas and Morgan, and it seems like Kinsella was clutch.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Yes she balked her Johnson 1/2 and then improvised a Popa

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Weirdly, I actually think he might get away with this one because it’s going to be all about Simone’s injury. That’ll be the story.

 

[Jack]

Agreed, and up until Chiles’ meltdown, they had a very good meet.

 

[Sasha]

I’m so thrilled for ROC. And the fact that they surpassed the US in prelims shows that it isn’t just down to Simone’s absence.

 

[QuietColours]

I wouldn’t call it a meltdown. It was a mistake, and not hit, but it was far from a meltdown.

 

[Jack]

I mean .6 OOB fall and a balked dance series is pretty textbook meltdown.

 

[makam]

And even then, if Simone had been injured before the start, they would have subbed in Jade and not Myk, no matter what Myk fans think. And they likely wouldn’t have done either because I think the replaced athlete gets wiped from the competition and doesn’t get a medal.

Simone would appear to be going for the Amanar. Sound choice I think.

One for the ages!

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Jordan did make a complete arse of that floor, there’s no getting round it.

 

[Doug1233]

Is Simone injured or did she just freak herself out on the Amanar baulk and had a meltdown.

I’m hearing reports she scratched due to mental health. Not injury.

 

[tempest]

Jordan did make a complete arse of that floor, there’s no getting round it.

Simone would have probably added almost 3 points to Jordan’s score alone

 

[Sasha]

We don’t know. We heard both mental and medical reasons on various broadcasts.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I have got just about everything wrong today, if you look back at my posts. See also, confident prediction just before the final rotation that China could vault to 3rd.

It’s because I called GB winning the bronze during prelims. I had in mind Russia tanking and finishing off the podium, but watch me never mention that bit.

 

[cats]

Spoilers showing up on my Apple News app at 9 AM. Why do they insist on spoiling things for people who want to watch tonight?

 

[Kittentoes]

I’m not sure anyone was except Arnold Rimmer and her second sight

 

[rlayt]

I wonder if the Today show or Olympic channel is most likely to have updates?

 

[kimbee]

No one really knows. On the broadcast, John originally said Simone’s coach stated it was mental and not an injury. Then he later said usopc smtated it was a medical issue.

 

[makam]

They are talking about it on Today right now
