Gymnastic news #22 - Tokyo or bust

[FiveRinger]

I can’t believe that they just cut the live coverage off and made us change channels without waiting for a commercial. Ridiculous....and they cut in the middle of commentary reviewing Simone’s FX. Wow....

ETA: Upset that they cut the coverage off...surprised that they cut it off during Simone’s performance. Back to NBC.

OMG. What is going on with Simone’s eye makeup? Why would you intentionally make your eyes look like they have lines around them?

It's a bit of a vestige of the Karolyi days when Marta thought harsh eye makeup and a million crystals on their leos meant they looked "fierce."

 

[FiveRinger]

Did Simone draw those same lines on Jordan’s eyes?

I am really upset. I tried NBC after they cut off women's gymnastics (to make room for Shark Tank!) and that channel is showing a hospital program on ED! Then I tried NBCSN. They are showing Hockey as scheduled. Why must women's sports get the lowest priority? This is for the national championship, for heaven's sake!

Back on NBC.

Kara Eaker's beam set is gorgeous.

Not where I am. Idiots are showing a hospital ad about ED.

Since Carey is not doing her hardest vaults, it seems that she is not gunning for #2 in that AA.

#2 in the AA is at Trials, not nationals.

The GAGE leos look like they just repurposed some horrid figure skating dresses......

 

[Carolla5501]

Since the rest of us were watching women’s golf that went over before gymnastics I don’t think that women sports come second everywhere except maybe where are you are and maybe your complaint with your local NBC station. Shark Tank isn’t even an option where I am

You can live stream on the NBCSports App.

I think Vash was referring to Shark Tank on CNBC

If you tuned in to NBC right at 7:00 they even said gym was starting on CNBC due to golf running overtime.

I've been binge watching old gym videos on Youtube from the 1970's and early 1980's. Refreshing to see leos that weren't glitter-bombed.

The Olympic Channel is showing it again Monday at 1:30 PM EST and at 10 PM

Exactly. I've dealt with the frustration of tuning in for gym competitions in the past only to find they've been preempted by my local NBC affiliate for ACC football.

I was hoping we might start to see some unitards for the new era.

 

[rfisher]

Simone's eye makeup is way better than Nastia's dress.

Agreed! If you see Simone on her phone it’s because she is live tweeting

More space for glitter and beads to weigh the ladies down.

 

[just tuned in]

What is Nastia trying to tell us with her prom dress?

In other news, a woman just shaved her pubic hair on a commercial. Venus, for pubic hair and skin. I am dying.

Well, they must have decided that the Prevagen ads weren’t tacky enough. I didn’t realize until now that it is OTC, not prescription. American drug ads are so weird.

I haven’t seen Morgan yet......she’s doing beam and floor tonight, correct?

 

[mattiecat13]

Morgan

UPDATE: They just showed her beam routine. That was rough to watch. If she was anyone else, she’d probably wouldn’t get an invite to the Olympic Trials.

 

[BaileyCatts]

Was there no music for emma??, I didn't hear anything

 

[canbelto]

Why do all the floor routines contain those multiple wolf turns? it's getting old.

 

[Braulio]

In love with Leanne Wong's floor routine, that is the BEST choreo/artistry program for any american gymnast since Nastia 2008

Me neither. I wondered if something was wrong with my TV.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought it was great choreo/artistry!
