2021 Winter Cup Senior Women

[Seyonne]

Jade has zero expression. Other than that, I really have a soft spot for her. She has been steadily improving and I kind of like her unhurried style.

 

[QuietColours]

I’m glad to see Emma back, but her tumbling is so Texas Dreams. The flung DLO and that full twisting double tuck … Down on the double pike again too.

 

[Sasha]

I like her too. There something about her that I find oddly relatable.

 

[Bogwoppit]

Oof Emma. Damn scary landings.

 

[RedBirdie]

Emma Malabuyo! I actually like this leo. How she didn’t die on the double lay is beyond me. Double Arabian just gets it around. Splats on a full twisting double tuck. She had no business doing that. Double pike, short, puts her hands down.

Texas Dreams total inability to teach their gymnasts how to set strikes again.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Why they haven’t got rid of that horrifying DLO is beyond me. I cannot see her consistently getting more than she loses from doing it.

 

[cats]

That was freaking scary to see for a gymnast who has had a broken leg. Would have been much better to take the Laurie route there…

 

[RedBirdie]

Emma should have gone the level 10 route. Oof.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

She just did not look like she could comfortably do any of those tumbles.

 

[Sasha]

Wow, Jones made beam look so easy!

 

[QuietColours]

Wolf turn to front support. New connection?

 

[cats]

Can we shut up about Simone? We know she’s good already.

 

[RedBirdie]

Sigh, Riley did her wolf triple, then fell on the wolf double.

 

[QuietColours]

More evidence against back-to-back wolf turns

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

We need to begin compiling a dossier.

 

[RedBirdie]

And fell on her double tuck dismount. Rough event for Riley.

 

[QuietColours]

I’d love to see her do a y turn with that flexibility move she just did. Kick to front needle, quick y turn?

 

[RedBirdie]

I’d love to see her do a y turn

You’re so right, missed opportunity to stand out a little.

 

[Sasha]

Is it my imagination, or are Riley’s wrists a bit less insufferable than before? I feel like she’s toned down the MG style presentation.

 

[RedBirdie]

I’m not sure how McClain is the most impressive to Nastia. She’s done one event and didn’t even put up the best score of the 2005s.
