2025 World Gymnastics Championships: Women’s AA, October 23

I'm glad this place has been able to discuss and judge the AIN athletes by their gymnastics rather than letting external issues drive the whole conversation about them.

This is a really nice post and whilst I can only speak for myself, I think that most people within the Russian gymnastics community would very much appreciate the sentiment of your post. It’s very complicated here, even as a regular citizen, it is almost impossible to not be a vehicle of the government. Let alone if you are an elite sportsperson.

Exactly. I see parallels in the US and worry about the LA Olympics, but also hope I’m wrong

I'm already pissed at Aiko vs DTYs judging

It's frustrating that judges still seem to judge lower difficulty routines more harshly. Especially so many years after open scoring. The men's judges have gotten the memo but the women's haven't.
