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

[cats]

I think Suni was the MVP today.

I like Grace and all but she had meaningful mistakes on all four.

 

[Doug1233]

I didn’t catch Grace’s vault but only a 8.9 E?

 

[JaJa]

All I have to say is that at the end of the day it’s just a sport

well . . .for us anyway. For these athletes it is their life.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

She stepped out of the lines.

 

[Kittentoes]

You could see Suni was out to save every tenth.

 

[Doug1233]

I’ll be interested to see Jordan and Grace’s AA total.

I hope Grace beat Skinner’s prelims score.

 

[kimbee]

She stepped out of the lines and didn’t seem to get as much height as usual.

 

[JaJa]

Grace was MVP today. Jordan gets props for nailing the two events she wasn’t supposed to be competing today.

Grace, Suni and Jordan were all MVPs today in my book. It was heroic. I do not use that word lightly.

 

[Doug1233]

Skinner will probably say that if she had been on the team she would have rallied the troops with her inspirational pep talks and won the gold for TEAM USA!!!

Can we drop the anti Skinner rants for a while?

 

[cats]

Grace 55.166, Jordan 53.965.

Skinner’s prelims beat Grace’s TF by a couple tenths. She’s consistently been the better scorer even if Grace is really the better AAer.

 

[Livi]

They al had a crucial role.
Grace was the lead off on every event. Especially considering the situation, that’s a big thing.
Suni hit everything out of the park, including a last minute floor. Couldn’t have done better.
Jordan was the first that needed to step in and did awesome. Also hit beam. Too bad about floor, but it’s somewhat of a consolation that it wouldn’t have mattered.

 

[QuietColours]

I am constantly impressed by how incredibly aware Suni is of exactly what needs to be done in her performances. We’re all always impressed by her ability to adjust her bars on the fly, but today watching her pull that wolf around and very, very deliberately keep her foot up until she had exactly reached three rotations–she knows exactly what she is doing, what the requirements are, and how she needs to adjust on everything. It’s really amazing.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Suni was so fantastic tonight. I hope like hell she wins UB gold.

 

[Livi]

It really could have been. There’s no 5 point gap anymore.

 

[cats]

For whatever sideline demeanor matters, Grace certainly brought that to the team. She seems to consider this something to enjoy, not something to get all barfy about.

 

[Doug1233]

Grace 55.166, Jordan 53.965.

Skinner’s prelims beat Grace’s TF by a couple tenths. She’s consistently been the better scorer even if Grace is really the better AAer.

Well what do you know. That’s v interesting.

That Cheng is so unbelievably valuable. I actually think it’s a little overrated. 6.0 is a lot

 

[rlayt]

Well all vaults will be devalued in the next COP.

 

[Sasha]

Good thing it didn’t come down to a couple of tenths, though we’re still going to hear about how Skinner should have been on the team.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Yeah, I think I’d rather have the USA lose by a big gap than a few tenths.
