Give Nemour the gold. That middle combination of passes was fantastic
She was brilliant. I can’t imagine she’s going to be beaten. Qui is really the only one with a shot.

The homer-ism from the US commentators for Shilese on bars is killing me. Shi's handstands were loose and some of them almost went over, and her body was floppy during the catches. So please put a lid on it, Sam and John, about how she was underscored.

I personally love it for Wong, and I can’t imagine Shannon Miller without her huge bows. When she was older and competed without them as she was trying to make the 2000 Olympic team, it was like Samson after Delilah cut his hair.that there are still these silly hairbows in gymnastics like with Wong is so astonshing to me. It looks so incredibly childish
He fell off the podiumBut what's his dismount going to be? Gym fans be curious
Literally or figuratively?He fell off the podium
That worked when the D scores were comparable except those from the top two American entries. Not so much any more with Brazil, France and other countries upping their difficulty. Going forward, they’ll need a higher base to keep that advantage.elements are composed around the dance while every other team is the other way around
I get that. I wasn’t thinking about competitiveness as much as I was talking about philosophy and their entire approach to creating floor exercises. It’s such a notable difference even compared to some of the better dancers on the other teams and kind of a stark contrast to what gymnastics has been since the Soviet era ended.That worked when the D scores were comparable except those from the top two American entries.

Have you watched a lot of women's gymnastics ?I don't think I ever saw this many mistake
Scoring in gymnastics is really weird. By that I mean that a reasonable start value on floor is 5.0. The gymnasts do four tumbling runs and several dance runs. So that means that each tumbling run is worth, like, 1.0 and all the dance together is worth 1.0. Hard to fathom this compared to skating.

Another medal for Ukraine
I liked Romania’s in the all-around. More athletic-looking and less covered in bling.I’ve not been a huge fan of the US Leos at this event. In general, I think leos are going in a direction I don’t love. Today’s are really pretty, although completely not US themed.
This leo is really beautiful! In the last few years I’ve found the USA leos to be getting very fussy and over designed. This purple one is quite simple and really lovely.I’ve not been a huge fan of the US Leos at this event. In general, I think leos are going in a direction I don’t love.

Yup. A face palm “why didn’t we think of that” from team USA. Unless Kayla was also dinged up or had really poor warm ups, of course.I guess "china submits an extra athlete" happens in every sport.
So could the US have used Kayla DiCello in team finals if they had wanted?
Yes they could have. And then theoretically Roberson could have competed in the vault final had she been deemed recovered. This has never happened before as I recall. It is allowed according to the rules though.I guess "china submits an extra athlete" happens in every sport.
