2024 Olympic Games: Event Final Day 3: Monday, Aug 5 (5:40 am EST) FLOOR INQUIRY REMOVED TO AG FX THREAD

[MaryClare]

As well as vault. She's just a treat to watch on those events. But I hope she really goes nuts on UB and BB and see her in 2026 and beyond.

You’re all saying beam. She doesn’t like beam and it’s much worse on the legs than to train vault!

 

[onodian]

It's the right thing for her knees and longevity, but I'm really going to miss Rebeca on floor.

You have to agree that was quite the fx routine for your last one

 

[MaryClare]

If I had her money, I'd go down to the south of France for a few days to relax and get away from Paris then come back for the closing ceremony.

Her husband can’t get leave and she wants to see him.

But she is welcome to join us in Cannes

Guess I need to get to these dishes and see if the network is up yet.

 

[Memphisgym]

Now that the competition is over, I'm wondering if we'll learn more about Simone's injury.

 

[Memphisgym]

It was a good day for Beyonce.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I guess I need to actually work before the heat of the day sets in and makes work miserable or impossible.

Wait, has she said she's not doing vault?

 

[Hatsumomo]

I only love it bc it’s played at Red Sox games.

It gets a lot of play here in DC. Especially bars. Drunk singalong song.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I hope she does do vault, but I was thinking if she's saving her legs, she wouldn't do the power events. But @MaryClare is saying beam is worse for the legs, so maybe UB/VT specialist?

 

[Big_rock_show]

Late to the party but Jordan = perfect way to end gymnastics at the Olympics!

I could vibe with that.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I could vibe with that.

As long as I get to see that Cheng, I'm down.

 

[Annie]

I understand you all being sad about Simone, but at least it wasn't an unfair result. Chiles third on the other hand....

 

[Memphisgym]

The Rebeca vs. Simone showdown was the matchup I didn't know I needed. Both incredible gymnasts and incredible human beings. It's been fantastic to watch their rivalry and friendship.

 

[tsarinajen]

I’m looking forward to seeing our judges…. And how many Gogeans get credit.

 

[Memphisgym]

(Also, is this floor the first all Black Olympic podium? I don't think so, but no others come to mind.)

I have been wanting that these past few years. This is was honestly fun to watch.

OH SHIT yes it is!!!

Beam is way worse, especially for a natural vaulter like Rebeca. Vault you can train soft landings until the week before competition. Beam you can’t, it’s pound pound pound, fall fall fall. Vault is effectively 2 elements
