Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Karen-W]

Hey, that was nice of NBC to replay Asher's vault since I missed it by tuning in 10 min late.

 

[Allskate]

Asher is on a roll!

ETA: Brett mentioned that he thought that Asher's vault might be able to win a medal. But, is that even a factor in team selection?

 

[Rukia]

Yul is always "handstands i don't know her" on high bar but whatever he was never going to do hb at the Olympics anyway

 

[Rukia]

Frederick you are a gamer do not let anyone tell you otherwise

 

[Sarah]

I love Frederick!

I'd say it is if Asher proves he can contribute on other apparatus. Certainly moreso than Nedoroscik.

Yeah Asher is able to deliver on other things too which makes him like a specialist with benefits

Assuming he gets to Paris and becomes a star, Fred Richard needs to seriously roll in the in NIL afterwards. Or maybe just go ahead and go pro. He has an appeal that other previously famous male gymnasts - Horton, Hamm, and even Leyva, didn’t have.

he's already pretty popular on social media so I imagine he'll just keep on keeping on lol

I'm going to be really sad if Nedoroscik gets a place over some of the more well-rounded gymnasts. He's not even consistent.

Is there a good place for pbp for the men? I can’t watch right now and the twitter accounts I know are not doing full pbp.

 

[Rukia]

Juda wants that Olympic spot

 

[Karen-W]

Juda wants that Olympic spot

He may want it but I just can't warm to him and would be happy with seeing pretty much any other guy except Nedoroscik make the team over him.

 

[Karen-W]

Tim's making me hate Nedoroscik - and I already hate the idea of him making this team.

 

[Rukia]

I mean if they end up taking Nedoroscik then they are going to be stuck with any potential situation that arises so Brett look at Alicia dissociating yesterday and think really hard about that

 

[ilovepaydays]

Juda wants that Olympic spot

Honestly, they should just go with the top five - especially if it’s Richard, Wiskus, Hong, Malone, and Juda.

Daggett is being ridiculous if he thinks Nedoroscik should be a lock on the team just for pommel horse.

 

[Sarah]

I really wish Khoi was injured and/or hadn’t self destructed on day 1…

 

[Rukia]

I do not accept this because I require Yul's presence no i do not care about actual numbers it's for aesthetics and vibes only

 

[Karen-W]

Well, if we're just gong on aesthetics and vibes then can we swap Wiskus out for Whittenburg?

of course we can i dare usag to do it

 

[Allskate]

I think all of the injuries over the last few days should make them very, very nervous about choosing a guy who can do only one apparatus. Just how rigid are the selection criteria?

 

[Karen-W]

Frederick had a disaster on the floor going by his score alone.

 

[Rukia]

Khoi's knee is seriously worrying me

Can we apply this to Khoi as well? Yul and Khoi are the two I want most on this team.

tim put your voodoo doll away brody is fine

 

[Karen-W]

Khoi! Big hop on the landing that he almost sat down! His high bar was going really well until that dismount!

 

[Rukia]

ok so why can we point out we're never letting Asher near the hb in team finals but we ignored that for Yul TIM

 

[Allskate]

Khoi! Big hop on the landing that he almost sat down! His high bar was going really well until that dismount!

I think he's really feeling the pressure this week.
