Gymnast Social Media Megathread

Advance apologies for butchering the skill names, but Sanna Veerman competed a piked Ricna to Pak to Maloney half (Seitz?) to Bhardwaj. Monstrous.

Holy shit. crap

I am losing my memory, but that's F + D + E + E + 0.5 now, right?

I still think it's ridiculous that doing a transition back to the high bar out of a Pak cannot get 0.2 bonus. I almost feel like the Pak itself should have a different value if a gymnast works out of it.

Jade will compete at American Classic

Jade will compete at American Classic

I'm really curious about how she will look. If Jade and Jordan are in 2022 shape, they really have a shot at Paris. If they are rough and are in 2023 shape, their Paris chances are not good.

Also, only 100 days to the to the Olympics. How did that happen?

Go Jade!!!!!!

..and how has it been almost 12 years since London?!

 

[RAFIKI]

My life is split into pre and post London. 12 years ago is wild.

I'm not sure this is the right thread, but it relates to social media and gymnastics. Has anyone else seen the Instagram account of this young girl doing gymnastics in her room? It's an enormous room with a balance beam and uneven bars. Her wall is covered with her pageant titles and tiaras. She's also apparently a young actress.

I don't want to link it because I find it pretty disturbing. I don't understand some parents.

Yes, for some reason it gets recommended to me all the time; very disturbing.

Zoe Miller is not doing elite anymore. Focused of healing her shoulder to be ready to go to college in the fall

I think this fits better here than elsewhere.

I wondered about this floor routine choreography.

Ellie lost her coach? I thought she was and still is coached by Kikuchi.

 

[rlayt]

Coach Keiji Yamanaka R.I.P.

Shocking news. Many including myself felt Keiji would live forever. One of Ellie Black’s coaches. A class gentleman beloved by all who worked with him. And one of my first mentor coaches. Kei…

The really sad thing here is that science on sports nutrition and wellness did exist back then. They simply did not provide it to the athletes.

Georgia Godwin (Aus) Achilles injury.


ETA: Mods, time for a no Paris post?

Just start a thread lol. Anyone can start a thread.

 

[RedBirdie]

Oh no! Just devastating.

 

[RAFIKI]

That video is heart breaking to watch. Gutted for her.

The pre-Olympic injury phase is brutal.
