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

[Passion]

I’m on earth shattering relief that it’s finally over. I burnt out on Olympics after qualifications and have been running on fumes all week trying to keep up with everything happening.

Super looking forward to the new quad and being able to enjoy simple meets of little consequence again. Three straight months of every single routine mattering for something is exhausting.

It's funny how quickly it passed by though. Months of speculation and waiting to get to the Olympics and then it's over.

In spite of everything (injuries, judging errors, disappointing performances), the Games and the lead up to them were really fun.

But I'm super glad it's over.

I’m glad Simone’s achilles held up. I’m exhausted from holding my breath for a full 10 days

Yes, it really felt like she was on the brink of a serious injury

Maybe they always felt this exhausting, but especially after how nervous the US girls looked in quals, I was just dreading something devastating happening the whole time. That being said, I thought the team and AA meets for both men and women were really exciting and overall satisfying

Maybe it’s because they’ve done it before? But I do think that the huge profile they and the sport have in the US isn’t necessarily a good thing

I'm pretty sure everyone but Alice D'Amato would be happy if we could forget the final day of event finals ever happened.

I'm sure Rebecca would have something to say too

I'm sure Rebecca would have something to say too

She gave away an easy beam medal (potentially gold) so I'm sure she wouldn't mind a redo, but yes, floor gold is something to remember for sure.

Voinea was also one of the casualities of the massive beam falls.

 

[RichardL]

Because Sabrina was groomed to be the star of Romanian gymnastics and usher in a new era of Romania being a regular feature on the medal podiums. Aside from Brazil and Italy stepping up in a big way, Barbosu was outperforming Sabrina and, to quote the meme, they took that personally.

To be fair, she's doing a decent job at that. She finished 4th on floor at Worlds and then made two Olympic finals, for one of which she is presumably the rightful bronze medalist. Barbosu is lovely but it's not like Voinea isn't doing her job (although I cannot stand to watch her).
