While we twiddle our thumbs waiting for podium training and hoping that no one else gets injured….let’s reminisce about 2013 worlds.
I remember being impressed that half the WAG floor finalists had double-doubles. I’ll try and dig out my competition journal to find more of what I thought at the time.
I rewatched the WAG AA last night and I’d forgotten about Sasada’s full twisting straight back beam mount. It was really sad hearing Mitch Fenner worry about Ferrari retiring![Broken heart :broken_heart: 💔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f494.png)
It was amusing hearing Biles described as having very little experience and quite the whiplash going from Biles to SCS on vault. Ross and Biles were so close going into the last rotation but there wasn’t much excitement elsewhere with half the top group group falling on beam. Was 2013 when beam started going downhill in terms of consistency?
Loved seeing Iordache at close to her best but sad knowing what was ahead for her.
I went to 2013 worlds and had a great time but I haven’t rewatched it much. The individual worlds just don’t have the same staying power. I’ve rewatched 2005 a fair bit but never 2009/2017 (again I went to both but they were quite forgettable comps).
What are your memories of 2013 worlds?
