2026 American Cup (Team competition, elimination each round)

[Passion]

I can't believe they're showing an AI explanation of how this competition works.

 

[QuietColours]

I was just hitting send on the "Insult our intelligence" comment when they said "Let's go to someone smarter than us...AI"

Okay, let's do this. We'll see how long I can stay awake.

I could be watching World Baseball Classic. Instead I'm watching gymnasts just standing around. Why do I do this to myself?

International feed continuing to work for USA so far. Terrible dance remix of Edge of Seventeen.

 

[RedBirdie]

Absolute disaster for Alba Petisco on beam

 

[Matilda23]

Background music sounds so loud?

 

[QuietColours]

Interesting comment from Tim about the men not doing high bar because it's the most likely place to fall. That was rough from Petisco

 

[QuietColours]

So far, it looks like they're using the same routine footage for Peacock and International
Edit: Spoke too soon. International stream it is

Absolute disaster for Alba Petisco on beam

She has lovely form. Basically all her errors were wobbles and pauses.

 

[Passion]

Ke Qinqin hits FX! and ffs USAG has her name backwards again on their title card. The announcer in the arena is saying it correctly at least.

 

[Passion]

Flip sighting in the crowd.

 

[hmmmm]

There are bugger all routines total in this comp.... do we really need athletes competing at the same time? Can't they run it like a NCAA duel?

 

[Hatsumomo]

Yul Moldauer was doing so well before Karpenkoing it on his last pass.

 

[QuietColours]

Yul with a scale and a real dismount, not quite enough endurance to stand it up

 

[RedBirdie]

That was scary from Yul. I thought he was doing a nice double arabian, then it was like "yoinks, nope! Extra half twist to face!"

 

[Passion]

I know it's not happening but wouldn't it be hilarious if USA was knocked out in the first round lol. Would Peacock just go off air?

 

[QuietColours]

Nice PB sets from Hashimoto and Soares

 

[Passion]

Peacock has CHN names written correctly. It's only USAG who insists on being wrong.

 

[QuietColours]

That was scary from Yul. I thought he was doing a nice double arabian, then it was like "yoinks, nope! Extra half twist to face!"

I almost wondered if he changed his mind mid-air and decided to go for the harder skill. It was really weird

Gymnast falls. Sam brings us the stunning insight of "That's not a way be building confidence here..."
