Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Theatregirl1122]

I still really don’t get Jordan’s “I’m that girl” thing.

 

[HeatherC]

LOL That was kind of awkward but I'm glad they gave the trampoline and rhythmic gymnasts a chance to be introduced and to speak while we wait.

 

[honey]

You know they are, even if the had the answer in 45 seconds. Gotta pay for that Olympic coverage and get those commercials in.

Well to be fair, they were 12 routines short tonight after all the injuries. They probably only budgeted for like 20 minutes of fluff and riffing originally

Ugh, if only Khoi Young had been able to compete like he is capable of. Stephen was selected only because of Young’s misfortunes on PH.

WAIT. What happened?! I knew Suni had issues with her team at Auburn, but not this.

We seem to be spreading a lot of gossip and not much substantiated information here and maybe we should just let it go

I still really don’t get Jordan’s “I’m that girl” thing.

It reminds me of the MST3K episode where Crow was trying to make up a catchphrase for himself and settled on "You know you want me, baby!"

 

[A.H.Black]

They will need some time for interviews.

Okay, that’s fine. Whatever it is, I hope everything works out for the best.

Sorry Alexi, ANL is going to sweep you into his harem, 'cause he puts the TRAMP into TRAMPOLINE.

Suni has mentioned being estranged from her parents in interviews. She said her sisters are "the only family she has left." It's not a big secret.

 

[HeatherC]

John Orozco's tears after he made the team in 2012 is still one of my favorite Trials Olympic moments.

Seeing Mckayla Maroney say that this is the best moment of her life back in 2010 is so hard to watch now, knowing everything that happened.

 

[canbelto]

Wow Carly looks so different now.

 

[HeatherC]

Aww, Carly and Shannon!!!

I think it's got to be Rivera who gets picked. She is in there regardless of whether you take the top one or the average. Also, she came in fifth in the AA this week.

 

[Karen-W]

Jordan's first out! Followed by Jade!!!!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

It’s hezly

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I called this team, I knew it. I knew it

 

[Karen-W]

And Hezly it is!

 

[honey]

Wish this guy would stop saying “gold medal champion”. It’s very strange wording lol.

 

[Karen-W]

And, of course, Suni & Simone!

 

[HeatherC]

Jordan, Jade, Hezly, SUNI, Simone

I am sobbing for Suni. SO happy for her!!

 

[Rukia]

Josc looks delighted to be a traveling alternate while Leanne has been here before

 

[museksk8r]

Can’t debate a top 5 AA finish comprising the Olympic team. Congratulations, queens!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Traveling alternates Joscelyn and Leanne

 

[Karen-W]

Joscelyn & Leanne are the traveling alternates.

 

[Spikefan]

These outfits are a look.

 

[peibeck]

Happy/sad for Leanne

 

[canbelto]

Hezly sure has that stoic Soviet demeanor down pat.
