Gymnastics Apparatus Finals

[Theatregirl1122]

Unless Tsurumi or Douglas are going for more difficulty than prelims, they don't have the SVs to beat Musty! I'm so excited for her!

I wonder if Gabby will get an "AA winner boost" on UB. I don't love Tweddle's gymnastics, but it would be a real shame for her to not retire with an Olympic medal.

Love Gabby's leo!

[FiveRinger]

I love it! Finally a smile from Musty!

[Lara]

What is Gabby's D score vs Tweddle?

[Buzz]

GOLD FOR ALIA!!!

[kylet3]

Cmon Gabby, let Beth have this one! You have two gold medals already!

[AYS]

Gabby has her golds, I want Tweddle to stay in medal position.

[Buzz]

No medal for Gabby.

[DimaToe]

Beth gets a medal!!! don't feel bad because Gabby already has 2 golds :)

[Erin]

Gabby with a mistake - I think the medals are set in stone. I love Gabby, but I'm OK with this, she's got the medal she really wanted.

ETA - it will be interesting to see what happens on beam. Has there ever been an AA champ that hasn't won at least one EF medal? I can't remember if Amanar won any EF medals in Sydney, as I've tried to block that whole event from my mind...if she did, then I can't think of any.

[kylet3]

I think Beth has it...

[Mayra]

Beth medals! Musty wins!

Congrats!!

I was half kidding - but only half; I really don't know many women in Germany who look anywhere close to have the body for these sports - either too powerfully built, too tall, too broad...

I like the powerful built on a gymnast as long as it's put to good use, which I think it is with Seitz :shuffle:. But yeah, in some countries, powerul ballerina-types are in short supply. Berger seems to qualify, though. Once she learns to point her toes, that is.

Tweddle must medal.

gawd I love Musty's routine soooo much. Great composition and she executes it so beautifully.

great for musty. :)
