As much as I enjoy watching Locklear on bars (form is gorgeous), I will be shocked if she makes another world team after this. I think Liukin will be like Marta and not easily forget or forgive this performance.

USAG has backed out of buying the Karolyi ranch. The statement says they will continue to lease until they find another facility.

Another lawsuit naming USAG and the Karolyis, claiming that the atmosphere that the Karolyis created allowed for the abuse by the team doctor to happen.
I heard several interviews post-Rio that all of the fierce 5 were planning to tour. Maybe Laurie would not be on every stop due to DWTS but I know that Aly & Simone were saying that they would be there. Also thought I read somewhere that Shawn Johnson was planning on touring?
According to another message board (gym related), people at Simone's gym knew for a while that she was leaving. Reportedly, she had only been working with Simone and had promised Simone's parents that she would stay until the Olympics (her family was supposedly already settled in Florida several...

Congrats to the US alternate!! That was awesome. Leyva certainly showed that he deserved to be there. Think USAG will take a closer look at the men's team now?!
