This may have been the worst Worlds in the history of this sport that I doubt Montreal will be given a chance to host another event of this magnitude ever again. That said, these worlds has really highlighted just how lost this sport is. Injuries, bad organization, athletes suffering, the code turning gymnastics into who is simply left standing, lack of depth all around, no attention to form, aesthetics, and artistry, etc.
I was watching a bit of the 1992 Olympics all-around on YouTube in HD quality and my gosh the difference in just the demeanor and health of the gymnasts already made it a thousand times more watchable than what we had in Montreal. A lot of the difficulty we got here from countries that were up for medals weren’t that much greater than what they were offering in 1992 except they did it so much better in 1992 and performed with pride. Can’t perform with pride if you’re trying to not die thanks to this code(s).
