    Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

    NBC has been scaling back on all their Olympic sports. Since they chose not to air WC, there was no money for a better arena. It’s strange to do in an Olympic year but I guess everyone is downsizing.

    Ilia Malinin Fan Thread!

    I lost count of how many times I replayed the 4A. That was a thing of beauty. Congrats to Ilia on his SA win and being the youngest winner in its history.

    U.S. Men 2021-22 season news & updates

    ITA. Despite what people want to believe, it was Jason v. Malinin, not Zhou v. Malinin. Vincent was always on that team, even with the mess ups. I wish Ilia would have been chosen but it is what it is.

    Gymnastic news #22 - Tokyo or bust

    The USOC says that all the sports have to have a Trials. That’s the only reason they’re held. The team had long been picked and everyone knew it. The debate over that team was hotly contested and at that point in time, a lot of people did not have Maggie on their team. I was one of them...

    Love, Balls and Courting: Tennis V

    I was a fan of Djokovic but his actions over the past few months...I don’t think I can be anymore. I might still root for him a bit because I had an attachment but this whole mess was something else. This didn’t have to happen. I feel bad for the people who they’re all inadvertently putting...

    This is beyond heartbreaking. May he rest in peace.

    Gymnastic news #22 - Tokyo or bust

    Piling on the difficulty didn’t help her in 2016; in fact, she concentrated on that at the expense of form. It’s not going to be any different this quad. That triple-double is nowhere close to being competition ready.

    (Updated) Denis Ten Murdered: was stabbed in the thigh

    I just read about this and I sat still for several minutes. I couldn't comprehend it. What an utter loss. RIP Denis.

    Love, Balls and Courting: Tennis V

    I'm so happy for Novak. After all his physical and mental struggles it must be so wonderful to stand in the winner's circle again. After his match in Rome with Rafa, even while he wasn't at his best, that's when I realized he was making his way back. Congrats to him and Anderson, who played...

    U.S. Ladies [#21]: Wrapped Up with a Neat Little BOW

    Such overreaction everywhere. It doesn't matter who goes to Worlds because those 3 spots aren't going to be earned and they're honestly not needed.

    Mirai Nagasu Cheer thread: Return to Olympus

    Mirai is completely a victim of politics and getting punished more severely than others. I cannot understand why. She should have been up there with Daleman and Choi completely underrotated her 3T. I'm proud of Mirai for throwing the 3A and fighting after that mistake. I hope she has a...

    The Shibutanis Thread Cinco...Mambo!

    ITA. The Shibs have been the team that's most been under the microscope and they've always risen to the occasion. I'm so proud of them.

    Mirai Nagasu Cheer thread: Return to Olympus

    I'm so thrilled for Mirai! Her having a medal was all I wanted from this Olympics.

    RIP Dolores O' Riordan/Cranberries

    This really hit me. She had such a beautiful voice. May she rest in peace.

    Ross Miner Out Of Olympic Team (OFFICIAL)

    Using Sarah Hughes as an example doesn't paint the whole picture. She wasn't a favorite to win, no, but her resume was miles better than Miner. She was a multiple Nationals, Grand Prix medalist and won a Worlds bronze. She didn't come out of nowhere.
