I can't say this sentence fills me with confidence.(contingent on her registering to compete).
Well they did put in the effort to submit a petition. They probably had to wait for that to be accepted before filing to register.I can't say this sentence fills me with confidence.
It would be such an interesting and positive thing for the sport. Even the fact that we're having this discussion would've felt unbelievable, not that long ago. Well into the era when gymnasts were competing longer. Because that's only the half of it.I hope she and suni at the very least get to compete with Simone sometime. The three previous Oly AA champions competition has to happen sometime.
To put in in perspective, that would be like Pod, Raducan, and Carly all at one meet. That thought is WILD.It would be such an interesting and positive thing for the sport.

Those three all had such short international elite careers as seniors. Weird to remember that gymnasts were once pushed for a quick sprint and then done with the sport after the Olympics while still a teenager. Unless you were Svetlana Khorkina.To put in in perspective, that would be like Pod, Raducan, and Carly all at one meet. That thought is WILD.
I mean of course this still happens. But I remember when it was so surprising for a gymnast to succeed at the Olympics (even without winning AA gold) and then continue.Those three all had such short international elite careers as seniors. Weird to remember that gymnasts were once pushed for a quick sprint and then done with the sport after the Olympics while still a teenager. Unless you were Svetlana Khorkina.
Pod and Raducan had relatively long careers for the time as well!Those three all had such short international elite careers as seniors. Weird to remember that gymnasts were once pushed for a quick sprint and then done with the sport after the Olympics while still a teenager. Unless you were Svetlana Khorkina.
it’s crazy looking back now at how Khorkina was portrayed as being absolutely ancient when she was 24.Those three all had such short international elite careers as seniors.

I never followed her singing attempt. Could she actually sing?Carly's major international career was exceptionally short - around 11-12 months from 2003 Worlds to the 2004 Olympics and then she was done with everything gymnastics and tried for a singing career.
had the rules at the time not allowed her to compete senior in 2003, her senior entire career would have been Feb 2004- August 2004. She qualified elite in Spring 1999Carly's major international career was exceptionally short - around 11-12 months from 2003 Worlds to the 2004 Olympics and then she was done with everything gymnastics and tried for a singing career.
I blame WOGA. I wonder what her routines would have been like with the open-ended code.To be fair according to Carly she wanted to continue after the Olympics but was forced to retire due to back problems in 2006.
