Minamino Yume was an absolute delight. I came to watch Colas take over the world, but was not unhappy with the end result.

What's the name of the skill that Minamino does before the LO Jaegar 1/1, the sort of stoop through to giant? I feel like we haven't seen that in years in WAG.

Jam dislocate? Memmel did it into her dismount. I think Chusovitina was the first female to do it, back in 1991 but it’s in the code as a Luo

Thank you! Yang from elgrip is mind-boggling.

What is it with all the over exaggerated face in Japanese floor exercises?

What is it with all the over exaggerated face in Japanese floor exercises?

I think they are drawing on traditional Japanese theatre - like noh where the actors wear masks showing exaggerated expressions. The plays are quite difficult to understand because of their old fashioned language, and they were traditionally performed by candlelight, so storytelling through big gestures and dramatic expressions is important.

I really like the idea of Japan developing a style like this on floor. I hope they will sort out their selection processes and become a gymnastics superpower (in WAG too, I mean!)
