Event 2025 US Nationals Senior Women Day 1 (Friday, August 8, 2025)

I think I've put my finger on what bothers me about the commentary (besides it being out of touch). It's too positive, which lowers the stakes of the comp. I get not being harsh, but they treat full on falls like "it's okay, remember, they're not supposed to be peaking now anyways". It just doesn't feel like a competition at all anymore. Everything's just a "slight mishap but that's okay"

Tiana bringing the Bollywood choreography to beam. It works for her

 

[Hatsumomo]

Harlow Buddendeck is adorable

Tiana on beam is a revelation within this group...

 

[Passion]

Hernandez says Sumanasekera always does a great job looking at where her foot is about to land and then Peszek immediately contradicts her by saying the best thing to do is to always look at the end of the beam and Sumanasekera does a great job of that.

 

[Doug1233]

Tiana 8.0 BB - I love her back handsprings

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Pease is channeling Shannon Miller with the scrunchie and the wrist-heavy choreography on FX

Be still my heart

 

[Doug1233]

Pease fell.on double double

you could tell from the back handspring. I think I even said “nope”

 

[RedBirdie]

This poor child, what they hell is on her head?

 

[Lisaelaine80]

Oooh, Leanne's leo is really pretty

Beautiful!

 

[RedBirdie]

EW, NOT DEBBIE AND DEANA!

We should not celebrate them, ever.

 

[Hatsumomo]

EW, NOT DEBBIE AND DEANA!

We should not celebrate them, ever.

I was about to ask if those were the infamous twins. Giving them any sort of award is bad optics for USAG.

 

[Doug1233]

Where’s Kelli Hill

 

[RAFIKI]

EW, NOT DEBBIE AND DEANA!

We should not celebrate them, ever.

They had a different gym in the 90s right?

 

[Passion]

Biles isn't here so NBC is showing us Moceanu in the stands instead.

 

[MRR]

Did they downgrade Tiana's switch ring? Didn't look creditable live

 

[RedBirdie]

Where’s Kelli Hill

Retired. Probably smoking a Marlboro Red while sipping on margarita next to a pool

 

[Doug1233]

Did they downgrade Tiana's switch ring? Didn't look creditable live

I gave it a 3 for sure

 

[RedBirdie]

They had a different gym in the 90s right?

Yes, they were at Cypress

 

[Bob]

EW, NOT DEBBIE AND DEANA!

We should not celebrate them, ever.

Yeah I thought that.
