Mustafina gave birth in June 2017 and was competing at 2018 Worlds the next year. Crazy turnaround.

And she did this in April 2018 at her first competition back!

I admittedly haven't experienced either, but the timeline for her post-pregnancy return seems even crazier than the timeline for her ACL recovery pre-London. Between the physical stress of giving birth and recovering from that, plus hormonal changes, sleep disruption, and overall life disruption, like - how?

I literally thought Jordan's announcement was gonna be "I'm pregnant". I'm just so used to baby announcements in this stage of life.

From social media: Hezly, Jade, Jordan, and Suni are all back in America, they didn’t stay for closing ceremonies. I can’t tell where Simone is.

Simone's at the Stade de France today watching track and field events:

I’m reading in a couple of places that Jordan is getting a lot of hate.

With articles out about Romania “being stripped of the bronze” by Chiles, it made me wonder if people would be cruel to Chiles.
And to be objective, Romania never had the medal. So saying Voinea/Barbosu was stripped of a medal is misleading.

A lot of the predictable racism is happening on Romanian Twitter.

A lot of the predictable racism is happening on Romanian Twitter.

It is horrible. They are calling Jordan’s bronze a DEI medal. Never underestimate the ability of the right wing, no matter what country, to fall back on overt racism.

It’s Romania. Nearly everyone is racist

Though there's a certain amount of marvel I have at people who couldn't hold a basic conversation in English, but can use racial slurs in perfect context.

It’s like when everyone was shocked by Ferlito’s racist remarks. Um, she’s from a wealthy Sicilian family, what exactly were you expecting?!

 

[RAFIKI]

I'm old and pathetic and had to Google "GRWM".

Same!

I kinda already knew Jordan's announcement as soon as I heard that she was planning to make one. She thrived so much as a part of the UCLA team that I had no doubt she'd go back. I'm glad to be correct on that. I'm excited to see her back in NCAA.

I don’t think doing what you committed to doing classes as a “big announcement”, but whatever.

Nedorosick signed with an agency. I hope he makes a lot of money.

I would imagine that GOA tour will be pursuing him. Unless he already signed

I so love Ana Barbosu.
Looks like she doesn't rule out a retirement, and someone somewhere mentioned that she's an excellent student, too, and may want to focus on her academics. I really, really want Georgia to recruit her. Someone please tell Cecile Landi to do so!

A lot of the predictable racism is happening on Romanian Twitter.

And Elon Musk made Twitter a safe space for racism.
