2021 Euros prelims

This Latvian girl on floor is making me shit my pants.

 

[onodian]

I mean it wasn’t a complete shitshow, let’s be honest. It probably shouldn’t be leading though

 

[Doug1233]

I mean, she did have by far the highest D Score. 6.1. The flip full and the flip flip to Triple full are much money makers.

I actually thought she broke her dance CR but looks like they gave it to her.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Right, I actually thought Larisa had done us all the favour of getting the fall out of the way immediately so we could relax, safe in the knowledge she was out. It appears she intends to do this the hard way.

 

[Maeloc_Cao]

She is injured in her left ankle. And also, she was sick for a month (Covid?) And she has grown 7 cm …

 

[Doug1233]

Jessica Gadirova is currently in 1st on FX and VT. Other than that fall on beam, she really showed herself today.

 

[Jack]

I am so here for the overscoring of Iordache. I haven’t been following at all, is she vaulting a DTY? Does she have enough difficulty on FX and UB?

 

[onodian]

Dear god at the Ukranian girl’s LO series

 

[onodian]

Who cares, come on JUDGEZZZZZ!

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

This is going to be the greatest communal gymternet experience since we achieved Chusovitina’s individual Olympic qualification 18 months ago.

 

[onodian]

from the Youtube comments:

“A Random Gymnast
you are all so jealous, she had a 6.1 D score and her routine was flawless”

The Larissa Delusion is strong

YOU ALL JELLY!

 

[Jack]

And I’m in the middle of parent teacher conferences and can’t watch. Keep the hot takes coming, everyone!

 

[onodian]

Just tell them you wish their kid was MISS LARISSSSSA

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Looking at Larisa’s other events, she has to beat 54.398. Let’s assume the standard 14.3ish for a decent but not amazing DTY. That would mean she needs 26.632 on the other two events to tie Maggio. And in Mersin, she got mid 13s on bars and floor. It may actually be doable…

 

[makam]

Normally, I’d be all like “fairness above everything” but when it comes to Larisa and Chellsie, toss that objectivity out the window and bring on the overscores!

 

[tsarinajen]

Listunova had COVID. I don’t think it was ever stated that Urazova did.

 

[onodian]

are you on the beam pannel today?

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

I see what you did there with the ‘miss’.

 

[tsarinajen]

So Larissa is going to need to hit bars in the last rotation… with the Olympics on the line.

 

[Jack]

So every Ukrainian fell on beam today? It’s nice to see that life is returning to normal.
