2024 Tournoi International - Combs la Ville

I wish they could be on YouTube. With political events this week, I'm trying to click on Twitter even less.

RedBirdie · Monday at 9:30 AM

I'm trying to get off Twitter, but not everyone I follow has moved over to BlueSky. So I keeping peaking over there to find things like videos and hockey news and whatnot. One day I'll be able to delete that app, but not quite yet.

Why? What’s the deal with twitter?

Pretty solid vaulting from Westerman, she is going to be a top recruit for 2027.

Yes, most impressive. Especially since I think she sees herself as more of a Bars gymnast. Any speculation about LA 2028 ?

RedBirdie · Monday at 10:34 AM

Westerman sees herself as a bars girl? Her form is nice enough, but her difficulty is low and I don't see a lot of capacity for upgrades. I'll be very curious to see how she and any other Hill's elite progress. This is the first group that Kelli didn't have a hand in developing.

Bars are her favorite event.

It's run by Elon Musk, who's made it into some sort of support for MAGA-esque politics, and who's made all sorts of decisions detrimental to the platform. Alas supporting Twitter/X is de-facto supporting Musk. I deleted my account a few weeks after he took over when he removed a lot of the moderation protections and laid off half the staff, and it's only gotten far worse since. I try to give it as few clicks as reasonable, though it's hard to fully avoid.

The full streams from Saturday and Sunday are still available for replays. There was a main stream each day and four individual streams for VT, UB, BB, and FX. They are all YouTube videos, organized on this page:

I see. You’ll get used to sociopathic billionaires with a god complex who are BFFs with the president, owning all of the media. I promise.

I’ve never been part of gym twitter, there are some good accounts, but overall there is wayyy too much drama. Hopefully the good content moves elsewhere

USAG also posted the videos of the American routines on Facebook:

I deleted twitter this past week.

I used to look there for gym news.

RedBirdie · Monday at 2:39 PM

I mostly avoided the gymnastics community on twitter. By and large, those are not sane people--they make hockey Twitter look reasonable and well-informed and inclusive.

I don't know if I'm ready to give up on it just yet

But re: the gym community there, yes, I agree, I hope it moves elsewhere and leaves the drama behind

I’ve joined Blue Sky. It’s like Twitter but not owned by Musk.

Bluesky

I'm on the butterfly app as well. Not that most of you here are probably interested in my rantings on American politics, my concern that the leopards are going to get fat from all the faces they're eating, my love of Caps hockey (Lars Eller is back!), and my increasingly desperate cries for snow.

Anyways, back to Combs la Ville. Westerman had a much better showing than I expected. I feel like it's too soon to say one way or another is Hardie's switch to unproven coaches will work out for her. And I'm a bit perplexed at the high level of difficulty shown by Colas when she's not senior eligible until 2026.
