Li Ya can still beam!

My first time uploading a video directly to the board, I didn't actually know this was an option until just now.

Suni with a Nabs + Bahardwaj + Shap half

She has to do the half twist at the end to get the 0.2 connection bonus. that's why she has changed it from Tokyo. I don't like that rule change...

That's hot

Not sure this is the right place but I'll put it here

Sylvia P is doing a fundraiser to help support athletes and their families of the Oceania gymnasts where they've each designed their own Leo.

No Isabella Brett...
Could be multiple reasons why.

I love that Suni Lee is going back to the Olympics after the quad she's had lol. I feel like we're back in the 90s when the Olympics were all that mattered and everyone just waits around for the selection cycle to start. Let's have the same Olympic team for Los Angeles as well, after they've had minor careers in some weird professional spaces like nursing or cinematography which will give them some personal experience to explicate in a strange and startling series of arm movements on FX that somehow cohere to satisfy the artistry requirements.

I haven’t seen that NZOC has made a decision yet. Leotard collection might reference Oceania simply as a way to include Georgia-Rose Brown as she will be representing NZ at the Olympics. All the gymnasts in the fundraiser train in Australia whereas Isabella doesn’t.

Lauren Hopkins is tweeting that the New Zealand is not sending Isabella Brett. I'm not seeing any link to an official announcement, though.

Isabella issued a statement on her instagram confirming that the NZL Olympic committee won’t approve her

Isabella' s statement

Really sad at this point for her but also perhaps a full spot to Oceania is not a given in the future.

Thorsdottier is out of Paris.

 

[Livi]

Eythora is out of the olympics

I’m too scared to watch the video.

devestating.

I’m too scared to watch the video.

It's not a very scary fall. She almost misses the beam with both her feet, does a tuck full and rolls out of it. If I didn't know, I wouldn't have guessed she broke her foot this badly on this.

Who knew you can actually dance on a balance beam?! That's such a shame, she would've had so many (relatively local) fans rooting her on in Paris.
