Did the international feed show Nemour on UB

Yes

I hope it's just a bad stinger for Simone's ankle. I feel like the way she was acting and limping looked more like a sore ankle than achilles pain. Hopefully with a cortisone shot and an ice bath, she'll be ok

 

[Passion]

If the competition ended right here we’d have two Americans, two Chinese, two Romanians, and two Italians in the BB final. If you squint real hard and pretend the Italian flags are Russian flags, it’s just like old times!

 

[RAFIKI]

I’m looking forward to watching handball tomorrow. Caring so much makes this really stressful.

So this is where I think the age of the athletes is a good thing. If she was a 15/16 year old Hezly, I'd be like, they had better be managing that to the best outcome of the athlete even if that means pulling her, but since Simone is an adult and a professional, if she wants to play through the pain, go for it (but also, this is a marathon, not a sprint and we know that Simone knows that).

 

[Memphisgym]

I don't know what to do with myself now. Too much adrenaline to go back to sleep. Too emotionally drained to stay awake.

 

[Puffin]

Andrade and Nina will contend for UB finals not sure of any others

MDJS? - if she hits

 

[Puffin]

They really should end the 2 per country rule.

Sort of ironic that the USA fought hard for it.

[Sasha]

Lol, oh did she now?

 

[rlayt]

They need to research these things before they post. You would expect them to have gymnastics people.

Simone looks like an Achilles issue to me. Hopefully some treatment can keep her healthy thru the games. All the US girls to me look tired. I hope they can get some rest and adrenaline before finals. I hate watching the Olympics when no one looks sharp, crisp, or confident.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Also cortisone shots take a few days, so I don't know that it's an option. Usually it causes some pain and you don't just get one and get right back to work. She would have needed one last week most likely.

Cecile already said it was a calf flare up.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Yeah the calf and Achilles aren't that far apart. They would never want to say Achilles any way.

 

[Rich]

what the heck is a calf flare up

 

[cftmoonlight79]

I'm sad for Jordan. She clearly wanted in the AA final and she got so close. Damn the 2 per.

 

[Laura722]

Sounds like Jade is sick:
