Upon googling, don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place, she's 4'8" ??????? What????
A few days ago I saw a thing about Simone dispelling gymnastics misconceptions (or something like that) and one of the people wrote in that "gymnastics stunts your growth" and she said something, like, "Well, maybe. I'm only 4'8, so..."

my theory is shes so good at gymnastics bc shes shorter so its easier to generate power cuz there's less weight to propel

You think that but then there have been quite a few other short gymnasts who haven't seen that kind of boost. I think her strength-to-weight is amazing. Maybe having the lower center of gravity helps but if it was simply being short, some of the countries would be scouring the countryside for the shortest girls they could find.

I guess yea. And you'd think I'd be somewhat better since I'm only 5'2" but nope. Haha.

It was also similar when some countries were saying that Simone's ADHD meds were what helped her become awesome and they were "doping" even if they were legal. But if that were true/possible, you know some countries would be declaring their whole team ADHD and giving them ritalin with the right TUE to make it legit. Since there wasn't a rush on it, it probably doesn't have the magical effect to create another Simone.

Yea. And to add to that I don't think ADHD meds can build muscle soo... My brother is ADHD and has like zero muscle somehow
 
So watching it, really pretty gymnastics just about all around. (okay, I didn't see much of romania). Only one or two with the super-cringey-chucked gymnastics while the other 35ish gymnasts in the competition seem to be really attending to the details.
 
I watched while out and about yesterday so I missed the action on here. My reaction to yesterday:
Loved seeing a podium with USA finally getting gold after Tokyo, and thrilled to see Italy and Brazil up there as well! Soooo many happy faces on the podium. Truly heartwarming.

Canada was a HUGE happy surprise for me. They did great!! Who knew!!

Watching the US men watch the women while wearing their bronze medals and cheering. Soooo much joy still on their faces! I love it.

I felt bad for Vanessa Ferrari, who probably would have given her one intact leg to be up on the podium with her team.
 
What international routines where shown in prime time?

They advertised they would show unaired content but want to make sure they show something I missed before I commit on peacock and the unaired content turns out to be a Snoop Dog interview.
