Yep. https://magnastics.wordpress.com/2021/07/15/russia-aka-what-the-hell-is-going-on/

I will be very impressed if a 4 man team with about 5 3/4 functional lower limbs manages to pull out a gold.

Thanks for the link to that blog. Very nervy choice but it will make team finals exciting.

Melnikova’s biggest issue will be her nerves, if she performs like she is capable of I do think she will outscore Listunova and Urazova. The Cheng is looking decent, if it goes well in podium training and she makes the AA she should go for it.

I love the decision to go all out for gold. No use playing it safe when so many things can happen anyways. They/re playing to win. Love it.
