Wonder if we will see USA go back to the Marta hair rules.
Especially since Memmel and Sacramone were from that era.

 

[makam]

Okay, gotta bounce. keep it real y’all so I can relive the FX final vicariously.

 

[MaryClare]

When I had a maid from Ghana she would “go easy” on my European hair. She massively underestimated the grip of a Russian grandmother

Ever since that Kazak guy snapped his upper arm on parallel bars I always get the heebie jeebies

 

[lovegymnasts]

Those babies are so adorable. What country is this?

 

[MaryClare]

Russia

 

[Hatsumomo]

If it means no more sloppy hair buns à la Kayla DiCello, I’m for it. That’s what drives me nuts. Your competition hair shouldn’t look like everyday training hair.

Crazy that Watanabe was originally the alternate for Japan and stepped in close to last minute.
Then she wasn’t even used in team finals.

Now she is World beam champion.

Whoah, they didn’t use her in team final after that Beam score in qualification? I hadn’t noticed. What the heck is that all about.

 

[MaryClare]

Addison Fatta’s hair looks like she has never got over not being tall enough for the big rides at six flags

 

[Passion]

I very much doubt Memmel or Sacramone would impose any hair rules. Most likely would just cite this incident as a reminder to make sure your hair is secure.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Probably true.

And I still wish time travel was possible because I would love to go back to 2008 when ASac was doing her countdown and Memmel was over it all just to tell them that they’ll be the new Martas in 14 years.

Only used Watanabe on bars.
Watanabe had the lowest D score of all the Japanese women.

 

[Passion]

I appreciate that the Japanese MAG and WAG all coordinated in blue.

Speaking of late 90 early 00s fashion, not to be outdone by the ladies, Jossimar Calvo is rocking the white blonde frosted tips, channeling his inner boy band persona.

 

[Concorde]

Bicherova, Yurchenko, and Khorkina (2003), failed to win an event final medal.

I believe Khorkina also holds the dubious distinction of being the only one to also not qualify for any event finals.

none of the AA medalists qualified to an EF in that worlds… it was weird

Khorkina and Russia had a rough time of it in qualifications.

 

[tempest]

15.366 for Carlos

 

[MaryClare]

Ah yes. Alexandra Shevchenko

Zhang Nan qualified for beam finals but was 2 per’d by Fan Ye and Li Ya.
