NBC - Day 11 - Wake Up!

[BigB08822]

For some reason, I've found him annoying, too. I can't put my finger on why, though.

It sounds like his voice is going and he is pushing through. It is just very scratchy. He has never bothered me before tonight so I think he is just getting sick or has done too much commentating the last few days. How will he survive the rest of the week? lol

No, they know parents of little girls will only let them stay up so much longer than their bedtimes, and the real fans will hang on to the bitter end to see one routine.

Well, Weiber's still an Olympic gold medalist. She was absolutely FAB in the team event, and I hope that's what in time she's able to focus on. I also love that Weiber messes up but goes STRAIGHT to cheering on her team mate.

STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree Jordyn, is a class act. If Aly decides to retire, I would love Jordyn to stick around not just for herself, but for the women's team, she really does care about supporting the other girls and I think she'd be a great leader in future years.

I understand you pay a lot of money to see an event so it's annoying when you've got two morons in front of you, but how do you tell the father of an Olympian that just stuck an amazing bit of tumbling to sit down?

I was really proud of her for that. These girls really do seem like an especially close team. Loved seeing the other girls freak out in the stands.

Aly was AMAZING! That was her absolute best and she left everything out there.

[BigB08822]

That 3twist by Ponor was so gross! I wasn't even sure what she was doing at first.

[Fergus]

Ponor channeling her inner Olga Markova.

[skfan]

stupid fashion question--does aly's hair bun look like a dagger to anybody else? ^__^

is NBC making up for past sins by showing same aly-catalina hug x2?

I'm hoping that right after that clip he turned around and popped him one.

Ponor's leotard has got to be one of the reasons NBC cannot show gymnastics before 10pm.

[Skittl1321]

Ponor was amazing. She has some crazy helicopter legs going on too.

[jeffisjeff]

I wondered this watching live, and again tonight, why is Ponor's right hip red?

[hirshey girl]

Gotta give Ponor credit. She sold that routine. Congrats to Aly!!

[Matryeshka]

Ponor says, I am here. I am woman, and I will shake my tushy and make sexy Bogy time and not look ridiculous doing so. I will give you the fever. And dumb observation: I like that the Romanians wear shoes.

I'd have given it to Ponor.

[BigB08822]

I am also surprised she didn't throw the full twisting double layout. It looked beautiful in the one video we got. Much much cleaner form than you would expect.

She probably has hair like mine. Thick, wavy and long.

[Skittl1321]

This leotards is ridiculous.

And no connection to her music. That could have been anything.

[Fergus]

Strange FX music from Ferrari.

I'm expecting Babs and Maurizio to skate out.....

[Prancer]

Shallow, but I find that one-sleeve leo really distracting.

It's not about "giving" it to Ponor. She only had 1 tenth more in deductions than Aly had. Aly simply killed her in the D score. Aly had 3 tenths more there. That is huge on FX.

[hirshey girl]

All I can say about Ferrari is that her leo is fug. Landings seemed low on her tumbling.
