US Classic Session 2 thread

Alright, fair enough. But it's still a triple double. And she takes deductions on the layout double double, too, right? I feel like it's okay.

And I am 100% happier to have her overpowering it than doing whatever Josc was doing to her ankles with her tumbling today.

I think the Chusovitina is a net positive over the Biles II 90% of the time.

I feel like she wouldn't do the full-twisting variation though. It would be a layout double double. I mean, it's the Olympics.

It’s a shame we don’t have custom user flairs. Because I’d change mine to SABRINA VOINEA LOL

Konnor is basically a modern day Vanessa Atler for me, although she at least has some college redemption/success for us to enjoy at least. (And Atler always says not doing college was a big regret... all for that damn Reese's commercial cash).

I don't see the comparison to Atler.

Possible Achilles injury for Konnor? Grain of salt. Unconfirmed.

her foot wasn’t dangling when they wheeled her out which gave me hope it wasn’t achilles

Shilese's straddle position <3

With Laurent, no. But a smart coach would have her do the Chuso given she doesn’t have the margin she used to have anymore.

This is where I say I AM STILL PISSED OFF THAT SO MANY YEARS OF SHILESE JONES WERE PISSED AWAY BY CHRISTIAN GALLO.

That's all.

 

[QuietColours]

My fingers are still crossed it will turn out to be something relatively minor. I said I'd believe she was coming back when I saw it, and I saw it...

 

[Hatsumomo]

they just confirmed Achilles for Konnor

 

[navyblue]

Folks, it's okay that the triple double isn't perfect right now. She'll increase the hit rate on it. And it wasn't a fall. She still got a 14.8. Who is going to beat that internationally at this point???

Sabrina Voinea? LOL.

Yeah but historically we are used to seeing Simone bounce all over the place throughout her entire season including the Olympics, so i'm not so confident that drilling landings is something that she 'eventually' gets to, ya know?

And a 14.8 domestically with this rather uninspired choroegraphy I think actually is beatable. By Andrade and probably no one else.

how is Jocelyn walking

Broadcast just said it was per Courtney McCool

 

[Doug1233]

I WINCED at that landing

 

[Laura722]

Beautiful beam from Shilese.

 

[CameliasFingerpaint]

Dear god, is Laurent trying to kill Roberson? That vault was distressing.

 

[RedBirdie]

Roberson is going to get injured again. That vault was terrifying.

She is my favorite American gymnast of the past 5 years. Not even close in fact.

 

[Laura722]

So I guess Suni scratched bars. They never put 0.000 there.

 

[MaryClare]

Even Maria Paseka would be too ashamed to vault like that
