British WAG (and MAG!) talk

[Samxo]

Vaults a possibility for Jess, but I’m not sure how many people are competing for a spot with the same difficulty as her (5.0 and 4.8) or higher

The block on her DTY has shockingly regressed. She now arguably has both a 3 leg sep and a 3 bent arm deduction on the table. With a tenth for pre twist thrown in.

 

[MaryClare]

How long do we reckon before Jen switches to Azerbaijan?

 

[Samxo]

I don’t think that will happen

 

[MaryClare]

They were ask in an interview and said they wouldn’t rule it out

 

[Samxo]

Yeah but if they switch now are they able to compete in the Olympics

 

[MaryClare]

Potentially yes

 

[Doug1233]

How long do we reckon before Jen switches to Azerbaijan?

Given the state of British Gymnastics, I don’t think she needs to worry for a good few years!

 

[MaryClare]

But they do seem hellbent on tailoring their selection procedures towards AAers.

Also, AZE pay a lot

Their technique is falling apart as such a rapid pace it’s almost scary.

They REALLY need this winter off. And a refresher on tech. Someone told me the Gadirovas basically said they wouldn’t do NCAA because they’re “really good” but they’re about to get beaten by three girls who couldn’t even win NCAA titles.

 

[RedBirdie]

Shocking to see how backwards their gymnastics has gone since Tokyo. Since its both of them, it screams a coaching issue to me. Makes me nervous about Ondine as she gets older.

 

[J175]

To be fair, I don’t think they were meaning they were necessarily better than any NCAA gymnast, but rather that they were too good to think about retiring from international competition. A year ago I don’t think many would disagree with that assessment. Something isn’t working at the moment though.

 

[Doug1233]

Pushing through puberty and pretending nothing has changed can have this effect.

 

[Doug1233]

I love Dom!

 

[Doug1233]

Jess’ Chuso was SO much better today. It’s beautiful!

 

[Doug1233]

I didn’t see the start of Alice on beam but it looked ok from just before the acro series. Looks like she was insanely overtime though??

 

[RAFIKI]

I was in Stuttgart when GB made their first TF. I never imagined I’d one day see them qualify in second.

Looks so much better than podium training where she chopped it badly. This was lovely and floaty.

I have an 8.2 for GMF on bars for a clean set. Was she close to making it in?
