Ooh, 14.8 for McCusker.

Sorry… shameless site plug.

Theyve been so tight on bars today.

I dont understand 8.4…

 

[Sasha]

I guess UB has been low across the board today but I was hoping for better.

 

[Passion]

Suni Lee 14.733 BB

 

[Hatsumomo]

It’s kind of disappointing that Simone’s beam saltos are about as thrown as Shawn Johnson’s.

 

[Sasha]

Great dm but given the great beam work happening these days I’ll be pretty bummed if that’s our Olympic beam champion.

 

[RedBirdie]

while her releve was never good, she now really shows minimal commitment to fully extending through her toes and just slightly lifts her feet off the beam.

I’m not sure she shows even minimal commitment these day. Aly Freaking Raisman tried harder.

 

[Doug1233]

Back to foot taping!

 

[Sasha]

Will he upgrade???

 

[makam]

Holy fork, that dismount. 10.0 for that (-.1 for the step)

 

[Jack]

Yes, absolutely. Aimee knew how to address issues and clean everything up, which we haven’t really seen at all this quad from Simone.

But also Simone just did a double double off the beam like it was nothing so maybe who cares? I wish the two approaches could be married.

 

[Sasha]

15.133 for Simone on beam.

 

[Doug1233]

I’m super pissed about Riley’s bars score. That’s not fair. It’s not fair to compare that score against the international standard. Which they probably will be doing with Skinner and anyone else they consider for the +1.

 

[RedBirdie]

Simone overscored on beam. As usual. Sigh.

 

[Hatsumomo]

Yeah, it’ll be disappointing if a dismount, as impressive as it is, gives her the gold when the rest of the routine is lackluster and kind of sloppy.

 

[Jack]

The e-score bunching is absurd.

 

[lovegymnasts]

 

[Doug1233]

I don’t really care about them overscoring Simone. The scores they give here aren’t going to affect selection.

For Riley, the score is everything.

 

[Rich]

I wish they would show suni’s beam. 14.733
