Three original elements submitted in Men’s Artistic Gymnastics at Tokyo 2020

Three original elements stand to be named for their creators at Tokyo 2020 if the gymnasts are able to perform them successfully under the Olympic spotlight.

Andrade having a Cheng certainly makes the AA race a whole lot more interesting. It seems despite the initial hype Melnikova’s Cheng was spotted and she indicated she is unsure if she will perform it.

The top tier international girls could be in the fight for silver, not just bronze.

A fully healthy Andrade, with a Cheng, could get a 57.

 

[Gymfan93]

I’m rooting for Andrade. She’s threatened to be a major contender for so long, and it’s just never worked out because of injuries.

 

[Doug1233]

“ Carey’s original element is so complex that it would merit its own difficulty category, becoming the first K-level element in either the Men’s or Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Code of Points.

With 6.6 being the highest Difficulty score that a gymnast can currently obtain on this apparatus, Biles’s new vault has no comparison in the Women’s Code of Points. The Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Technical Committee used the Men’s Artistic Gymnastics Code of Points as a reference to determine the value this vault should have.”

 

[Doug1233]

Sanne is pretty smart in trying to get the 2.5 turn on beam named after her. I can’t believe it hasn’t already been submitted!

 

[QuietColours]

I was wondering if the Wevers are fully planning to compete their turns, or if they’re covering themselves in case they overrotate something

 

[arabiandoublefront]

Ava Stewart is like totally new to me, so I had no idea that someone had finally figured out a double front pike dismount off uneven bars.

 

[rue_des_plantes]

I still don’t think the Carey on FX is worth it for Tokyo. She should play it smart and just do Moors, Silivas, etc. It’s not like they’re going to pip Simone, and if they’re worried they can’t qualify through with her existing difficulty, then the issue isn’t on the D-panel. Then again, Carey’s whole shtick is D-panel on floor.

She should just do it at a World/Challenge Cup, if she is ever does it. Easier said than done with peaking, traveling, NCAA, and everything, but that’s exactly why those meets exist. There would be no pressure or consequences on the line, unlike Olympic qualifications and finals.

 

[ArnoldRimmer]

Could be. There has been at least one instance of a gymnast doing a 2.5 on beam purposely though, Ponor in maybe 07?

 

[JaJa]

Unless their 990s are not accurate.

 

[YurchenkoLoop]

Found it lmao

 

[Doug1233]

Ha that sigh at the end.

Jade can literally not give two single fucks about what Tom thinks. He can’t change her line ups, her scores, her nothing.

ETA: I wonder if her dad gave her a heads up, like “Tom might start trying to talk to you, just zone him out, nod and say yeah”

 

[JaJa]

Jade can literally not give two single fucks about what Tom thinks

My guess is she is not the only one . . . .I am sure most of the girls know he is a total zero

 

[Kittentoes]

Wow! Did she roll her eyes?

 

[glamafonic]

I am sure most of the girls know he is a total zero

Some of the girls (McClain, Alipio, Greaves) did an instagram live where they said outright that “everyone hates Tom.” So, yeah, I think you’re probably right.

 

[ucrgirl]

They would be fools to lie on the 990 given the scrutiny they hopefully are under with a lawsuit to settle with all the survivors. (Plus aren’t they in bankruptcy.)

 

[rlayt]

Skinner is really good at pretending to care what he said.

 

[RedBirdie]

OMG, Jade! She looks like it is taking every ounce of self restraint not to punch Tom in the face.

 

[JaJa]

I know. But I did not mean to imply a deliberate lie. There would be no reason for it. You would be amazed at the errors that get made. I just find it hard to believe he earns less than $100,000.00. It’s not that much money. But maybe he does.
