I see GB have been forced to relinquish the beam execution champions of the planet crown.

Prescient!now the biggest question is what vaults gymnasts like Simone and Angelina will do
Her warmup was a 1.5 too!So interesting that several of us didn’t clock Simone was down a twist on first watch. It goes to show how much we see what we expect to see.
There was no sign of this in warmups. Her last vault was an Amanar and it looked fine.
So, when was the cut off for Simone to have withdrawn?And even then, if Simone had been injured before the start, they would have subbed in Jade and not Myk, no matter what Myk fans think.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.
and the US coaches were the ones who told them lolMorgan Hamm was also initially incorrectly credited with performing a 1 1/2 twisting Kasamatsu when he only did a 1/2 in the 2003 World Championships men’s team final.
During her tumbling runs, Biles says, the only thing she sees is the colors of the ceiling and the floor, whizzing past in revolving blurs. When she vaults, she sees nothing at all. Some élite gymnasts count to themselves while flying through the air, to keep track of where they are, but Boorman says that Biles has no need for such calculation. She never gets lost.
This blows my mind, shows how weird the twisties can be.The heartbreaking aspect of Tom’s interview is that while the twisties were manifesting in her full-in on floor and off beam, she was still capable of her triple double, double double off beam
Definitely!If there were a poll prior to the Games of Simone’s most reliable skill, the Amanar would probably win. To my count she competed over 40 in her career—never a miss—and the only question was whether she would stick, take a tiny hop, or a bounding 0.3 step. In warm-ups she would go straight from a layout timer to a 2.5. Landing poorly, much less balking in the air was unthinkable.
What was the plan for these skills in TF?the twisties were manifesting in her full-in on floor and off beam
