I am really annoyed that it is still so dark in the arena. I was hoping they were just trying to be energy conscious during training and not turning on every single light.

Nope, still looks like a dimly lit alley.

 

[RedBirdie]

I cranked up the brightness on my laptop screen this morning to watch podium training. Gonna have to figure out how to do that on my TV.

 

[Passion]

Did they just say Amanda Stroud on UB? lol

 

[RedBirdie]

Yep, lots of elites from 2000-2012 are now elite judges!

Rock & roll… here we go!

 

[Passion]

Oh I didn’t realize they were announcing judges lol, I thought there was a new junior with the same exact name. I was like what are the odds?

 

[Hatsumomo]

A gymnast with the last name Turner is very funny to me (and not just because that’s my own surname).

 

[RedBirdie]

The junior score for nationals is a 49.50, which is a 12.375. Something to keep an eye on.

 

[rlayt]

Gonna have to figure out how to do that on my TV.

I did that to my tv. it’s garish but visible.

 

[RedBirdie]

Core Burke is itty bitty.

 

[RedBirdie]

Kieryn Finnell 13.4 on bars.

Izzy Stassi 13.05 beam.

 

[Concorde]

Yep, lots of elites from 2000-2012 are now elite judges!

Stroud actually holds brevet ratings in both MAG (Cat III) and WAG (Cat IV).

Simone Rose’s floor routine is new.

 

[RedBirdie]

Too bad she fell Such pretty gymnastics.

ETA: 12.05. She doesn’t have much room error her if she hopes to qualify to nationals. (Unless she already is and I just forgot)

 

[Passion]

Simone Rose’s floor routine is new.

From IG2: Simone Rose up on floor and what a beauty! (This routine was choreographed by Miss Val, Maisy Dunne & Camille Parker!)

 

[rlayt]

She feels the music.

 

[RedBirdie]

Claire Pease apparently fell twice on bars. Ouch.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I can’t remember if she was the one who fell on her double front dismount or the one who fell on her release skill and nearly fell on her dismount
