Gymnasts' career intentions post-Paris

[MaryClare]

Shushunova and Silivas before that.
Silivas won a medal in every single event in Seoul.
Shushunova won a medal in every single event in Rotterdam Worlds in 1987.
Both had world medals on events before this. Shushunova had a medal on every single event but bars in Montreal in 1985. There were no Soviets in bars finals in 1985 because Baraksanova and Mostepanova were pulled out of the AA for Shushusnova and Omelianchik. Once the two were pulled out citing injury they forfeited their event finals spot. Given the stranglehold East Germany had on uneven bars it was the smart decision, especially since the latter two Soviets tied for AA gold.

Ah man, that 1985 team optional floor rotation?

JUST PLAY IT AT MY FUNERAL

The medal on every event is an elite club for sure! Biles and Andrade had already accomplished it before Paris. The next ones back would be Mustafina and Khorkina, I believe, and then down to Milosovici and Podkopayeva. (I'm probably missing someone else.)

Milo has a world/olympic gold on every event except the AA... Does that apply to anyone else? I'm blanking if so(at least in the modern era)

1985 and 1989 Soviet floor rotations. Bliss.

I believe the only all-gold EF gymnasts are Milo, Caslavska, and Latynina.

Yes, Simone’s final FX salute was one of today’s highlights.

Ugh, no. I thought it was petty.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Petty in a good way though because I'm a little perplexed at how they dinged her for not saluting properly when she absolutely did

 

[irichluck21]

She made sure she was not getting another bullshit .3 ND.

Ellie Black is continuing
"As long as I'm loving what I'm doing and my body can still handle it and I have goals that I want to achieve, I'm going to continue doing gymnastics," Black said.

"For right now it's a little bit of a rest, but I'm not ready to be done with the sport just yet."

Have we seen the last of Ellie Black in Olympic competition? Maybe not

After competing in her fourth Olympics, Nova Scotian gymnast Ellie Black says she hasn't determined if a fifth Olympics is in her future. But she hasn't ruled it out.The 28-year-old from Halifax finished sixth in the individual all-around competition and sixth in the vault final in Paris. The...

What a Goddess. I had forgotten about that 1992 worlds in Paris.

 

[RichardL]

What a Goddess. I had forgotten about that 1992 worlds in Paris.

The Worlds where Zmeskal and Neculita were double EF moedalists (and the former two golds)... and Neculita won her floor bronze using the music that Zmeskal used in the previous season to win the Worlds AA. There was no Instagram back then so that was like following your heroes

 

[Annie]

Is Asia?

No idea but I would expect her to give it another go. The interview was just with Alice, who said she will go on holiday but will be back at the gym in September.

 

[Sasha]

Asia intends to keep going. happy dance

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Is Asia?

Says she wants to.



I assume she'll be throwing pointless, sore looking DTYs at the first domestic competition of the quad in February.
