Best Leo: don’t know
Worst Leo: I wasn’t particularly appreciating my darling rebeca’s choices, though loving the handkie in the hair
Best EF podium: I’m going to say WAG vt cause I was so elated for Rebeca
Worst EF podium: MAG VT + FX / the tie breaking procedures literally pushed the person with the lower execution first both times, I truly think these are both plain wrong.
Biggest surprise: Obviously Simone not being able to compete, and also Rebeca stepping up to the plate I must say. She did throw the gold away but I legit didn’t think she’d go through two clean AAs, including great bars on the day that mattered.
Biggest heartbreak: Iordache
Gymnast you’re most impressed by: I’m going to say Rebeca for the reasons stated above
Gymnast you most hope to see continue on to Paris 2024: MELANIE PLEASE GYMGODS GRANT US THIS ONE WISH, MELANIE HITTING LIGHTS OUT IN PARIS
Final thoughts: I had been out of the sport for about 6 years, since approx 2015, and I must say generally I feel it is in a better place, purely from the sport side I mean. I thought the scorers were more or less for the most part understandable to me, and I really enjoyed the competitiveness of almost all events. MAG remains apparently better suited to the code than WAG, the competitions are clearly better and there are less errors, but this time around WAG seemed all in all in a better place. I understand part of this is Simone not competing, but still, I. think some further tweaking and it could be a nice, understandable, enjoyable sport, which for a while at least for me it wasn’t.
