Hello, what did you want to know? If you google “ FIG Ruby Pass “ it will bring up Ruby’s Athlete Profile from the FIG website. There’ll be some basic information and quotes. Good luck with your project!

Obligatory “was Netty in doubt for the all-around?” And “Could Hollie Dykes have beaten so and so if she upgraded her floor?”

Hi guys do you anything about Breanna Scott?

This question is very broad, I don't know what information you are specifically looking for.

Yes you do sound demanding. No one is likely to know anything you can’t find by googling. I’ve barely even heard of her

 

[hmmmm]

What is going on with these these posts?

This poster asked the same/similar questions on the chalkbucket forum.
I believe there was mention of being blocked from an athletes insta when someone suggested asking the athlete.
They now appear to be banned from CB.

I kinda just assumed that this poster is a teenage boy who has just “discovered” female gymnasts

Thank you, this is helpful information for Gymnaverse staff.

Thank you. Does this person think we all have personal ties to gymnasts and be willing to drop personal information even if we did?

I assume MC is correct. This poster is likely just a young kid or teenager and imo the best way to respond to him/her is not to respond.

@Luca There is a specific thread for you to ask questions about Australian Gymnastics, do not create solo threads. Also, as others have mentioned please research first. If you have specific questions about certain gymnasts (what competitions they competed in, floor music, skills, etc.) that would be appropriate to ask on this message board.


Thank you.

Please don’t forget that you were once that teenager on a message board, and many of us remember those days. We’re all here because we love the sport, not necessarily because we’re experts. Showing some grace might be wise.

Yeah, you haven’t read between the lines here…
The poster’s lack of knowledge is not the issue at all. I literally replied that none of of us here were likely to know anything that wasn’t available by googling.

If it is indeed the case that this poster is the same one who was banned from another message board for inappropriate and stalkerish behaviour, it would seem that my suggestion that they are not motivated by an interest in the sport, but by young women who wear leotards.

So yes, I absolutely object to that sort of motivation being given oxygen. It is not “harmless”.

I’m a little amused that, with no irony nor introspect, you think the appropriate response this to behave in a patronising and condescending manner towards me! It’s almost as funny as suggesting that I consider myself an expert on Australian gymnastics. I’ve barely even heard of them

Australia’s Ruby Pass ‘so proud’ of personal and team success at Paris 2024​

Written by John Crumlish for International Gymnast Online​

Saturday, November 2, 2024​

Ruby Pass may have been the youngest member of the Australian women’s gymnastic team at this summer’s Olympic Game in Paris, but she is already stepping into impressive new roles as a scoring leader and role model.

The 17-year-old Pass, who trains under coaches Misha Barabach and Tao Xiaomin at Premier Gymnastics in Morningside, Brisbane, was the only teenager on the Australian team that placed 10th in Paris. She was also its top all-arounder, going on to finish 13th in the all-around final.

Now working with her coaches to ready her program for the demands of the Code of Points, Russ shares her perspective on Paris, in-progress improvements and her impact on aspiring gymnasts.

IGO: Looking back on Paris, how do you critique your performances, especially in the all-around final? What do you feel could have gone better, even something that spectators didn’t notice?

RP: I would have liked to have done more numbers on hard landings before the all-around final, but I did have slightly sore ankles so I was being cautious.

IGO: Coming about a half-point away from a spot in the team final, your team reacted very emotionally. How did you personally reconcile the ranking, and how as a team did you reconcile it?

RP: Personally and as team we were so proud to have achieved the result at (the 2023) Worlds to qualify to compete as a team at the Olympic Games, so this helped, and personally I had to reconcile quickly as I had the all-around final to focus on. We were all so excited to share the experience regardless of the result, although it was still very emotional.

IGO: Following the intense lead-up to an Olympic Games and then competing at the Games, many athletes take a break from training, or at least training with that kind of intensity. How has your training changed since Paris, and when do you expect to ramp up again to a full training program?

RP: My goals have shifted since returning from the Olympic Games, but I feel my intensity at training has not changed – just my short-term goals. I enjoyed a short break after the Games, travelling with some of my teammates and then visiting home in New South Wales to see family, before returning to Brisbane and my training at my home club, Premier Gymnastics.

IGO: Having proven yourself in Paris, and with a new Code of Points to master, what is your and your coaches’ plan for revamping your routines for a similar or better result at next year’s World Championships in Jakarta?

RP: Since returning to training we have been focused on new skills on all apparatus as well as reducing the execution (deductions) on all my current skills. I am in the process of finalizing music and a new floor routine, and look forward to performing this at my next major competition.

IGO: On your Instagram there are photos of you after Paris, speaking with and interacting with young gymnasts. How comfortable or challenging has it been for you to now find yourself not only a role model, but someone from whom young gymnasts seek advice?

RP: I think it is funny actually. I remember when I was young looking up to Aussie gymnasts Larrissa Miller, Lauren Mitchell and Allana Slater, and hoping to one day be like them. I remember when I listened to Larrissa give a talk after Rio (2016 Olympic Games) and I was so nervous to meet her. So I try to make it easy for the younger girls to come up to me. If they are feeling shy I try to help them so they don’t feel nervous. I am very proud to now be on the other side like Larrissa and inspire younger gymnasts. I hope I can keep doing this.

IGO: What are the best pieces of advice you can offer to gymnasts who aspire to reach your level, or at least their potential, in gymnastics?

RP: Remember your goals and remember to have fun, because if you are not enjoying your training it is hard to progress!
