2024 Olympic Games: Event Finals Day 1: Aug 3

[RedBirdie]

Um, there is plenty of cheering for GB gymnasts here.

 

[KorbutFan]

There would be something poetic about an Irish and American winning gold and silver over the Brit

Not so much when you know that Rhys competes for Northern Ireland at the CWG.

Evidently the “this board isn’t about politics” is not actually true or enforced when it comes to shitting on Team GB, despite the fact that actually they have had a pretty consistently disappointing games in artistic gymnastics (with the exception of Jarman).

I’m disappointed that this kind of nationalism is apparently fine.

I am curious what was said that was so bad

 

[onodian]

Okay, I'll bite - why do people dislike Whitlock?

Same reason we didn't like Nina and list's triple twist

 

[rlayt]

I thought it was just joking about the rivalry.

Who TF is shitting on Team GB? Good fucking God. A goddamned joke is not shitting on anybody.

I am no opposed to Max winning but as you can see from his e score, his execution has always been in issue. IMO he won with high d scores in the past.

And yet I see zero posts saying “I want the French / Germans / Brazilians / Ukrainians to lose to another country just because of their nationality”.

 

[Sasha]

Wait, he competes for both Ireland and Northern Ireland? Where is he from? Does Team Ireland include Northern Ireland at the Olympics?

 

[Caligym]

Do you think Nedoroscik decided beforehand or during routine to not do his max difficulty?

 

[rlayt]

Jarman is one of my favorite male gymnasts. The guy works hard and does great gymnastics.

 

[Hatsumomo]

I like that he's Northern Irish but is representing Ireland here. I wonder why he decided to go that route.

 

[KorbutFan]

Only beef with Whitlock is his feet.

..and the ‘heaviness’ for me in his routine.

 

[tempest]

14.966

 

[rlayt]

I think Nedorosick decides before he starts then practices visualisation. He’s strategic, a smart guy.

If Russia weren't banned, yes the fuck you would

 

[QuietColours]

Appreciate the accurate score estimates here. No "You never know what the judges will give them!"

He's from Northern Ireland. People from NI can carry both passports and have the option to choose to compete for Ireland or GB. The CWGs are a weird thing because England, Scotland, Wales, and NI all send teams, no GB team.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Rhys is deffo one of the ones with both passports!

Wait, Rhys has an American passport?

 

[Passion]

Stephen is getting the bronze!!!!
