Gymnast Social Media Megathread

[Denn]

Love it. It’s so floaty and easy-looking.

 

[Doug1233]

She looks … different…

 

[blake]

Could you elaborate on that? I’m not seeing anything.

 

[MaryClare]

I believe it’s a comment about her appearance

 

[blake]

I don’t see a difference in her appearance, so I was curious what Doug is seeing. The ellipsis’ in Doug’s post make me feel like he’s implying something that I’m not picking up, but I’m not great at reading tone.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

her arms look straighter on her bhs but that’s all I’m seeing

 

[Doug1233]

Maybe it’s the video. She looks (much) thinner. To me.

She’s training a gainer double full beam dismount. Not sure if she’s playing or not.

 

[KristyJ]

Honestly she looks the same to me?

 

[Doug1233]

in the gainer video she does. which is why i’m thinking the LOSO mount video might be adjusted somehow

Ian Gunter made it to ESPN for his use of Tik Tok!

I must say, I really enjoy his little videos. I see them on YouTube or Facebook, as I am not 12 and don’t use Tik Tok.

 

[Yarotska]

If whoever was recording used 0.5 zoom one time and 1.0 zoom the next, it could look wildly different depending on how close they are to her.

Fred Richard is a very entertaining guy. https://www.tiktok.com/@frederickflips?_t=8coja42mlWE&_r=1

And in real news:

Voinea wants to bring Amanar and Cheng to worlds.

 

[Doug1233]

Oh god it’s gonna be worse than Paseka.

 

[Livi]

She barely gets the pike around, but sure, let’s make it a Cheng.
Hope she doesn’t injure herself, but Romania’s trackrecord is not very pretty.

 

[RedBirdie]

Skye Blakely breaking out a nice Lopez.

 

[irichluck21]

That is pretty and might actually score better than her DTY, but it also gives her 2 vaults.

 

[Puffin]

It really is and she’s going to injure herself badly - I mean at Euros she had scrappy DTY/ Piked Omelianchik so I see little prospect of Amanar/Cheng given that she struggles to get the existing vaults around
