Gymnastic news #22 - Tokyo or bust

[Aceon6]

I have to think there are many benefits and advantages to the health of the sport to have more mature women staying in the sport longer. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.....

If nothing else, the presence of adult gymnasts discourages coaches from abusive training methods and gives the tweens and teens someone to go to when they are concerned about things. Win win.

Totally agree! I can't imagine abuse going on in front of women like Chelsie, Simone, etc. now that they are grown adults. Of course we all know that abusers are clever about hiding what they are doing. But at least the presense of more adults can't hurt.

I am so excited to see how Chiles has progressed at the Classic!

Jordan Chiles rekindled her love of gymnastics by moving 1,800 miles

Two years ago, gymnast Jordan Chiles wasn't sure if she wanted to continue competing. After a big move, she's in contention for the U.S. Olympic team.

I didn't know McCallum had broken her hand.

Isanti gymnast Grace McCallum ready to go all out

Grace McCallum has gotten used to being patient. When the pandemic forced the cancellation of gymnastics meets around the world — and delayed the Olympics by a year — she kept plugging away, training at her Champlin gym to be ready when things resumed. Then she broke her hand in January, and a...

Knowing what they now know, I think you would see action from the older gymnasts. See something, say something in practice.

Agree. And kids are being taught that it’s more than ok to tell someone now, so we might see some changes.

I love seeing "older" women staying active in the sport. So much of the verbal and sexual abuse happens (starts) with the very young in the sport. I have to think there are many benefits and advantages to the health of the sport to have more mature women staying in the sport longer. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.....

I read earlier this week that the Japanese womens gym team that has been selected for the Olympics are all in their 20s. Apparently it's the first time this has happened for any country since the 1960s!

I'm a paid subscriber to Peacock (i believe it's $5 or $10 a month). Will the U.S. Classic coverage be available for paid subscribers? Or only the session 1, that is available for free?

I don't know much about gymnastics, but I'd like to see Simone Biles and Chellsie Memmel compete.

ETA: I don't think we have NBCSN or Olympic Channel on our cable package, so I'm dependent on what's on NBC itself or on Peacock.

It looks like both sessions are out there. Have you been out on Peacock to check?

Simone Biles is still not human. That vault was IMPRESSIVE.

Congrats on figuring out the magical mystery of successfully searching for anything on Peacock!

I found it just by going to the live sports. I'm so excited. We have a whole day of gymnastics after a drought sans American Cup (I think it was this year....). Anyway....I'm thrilled!

So you can't watch Peacock for free unless you have Xfinity or Cox? Says my system configuration is not compatible.

 

[Aceon6]

And we’re live!

If you have a smart TV you can get it by downloading their app (except for Samsung TVs). I do not have Xfinity or Cox.

Anyone else have a dead ‘cock? I’m getting the “something went wrong” screen.

I downloaded Amazon Silk internet with the Firestick, then navigated the browser to Peacock. Then I got an error message about a certificate? So basically, Amazon is not letting me watch Peacock, except for certain programs, but nothing "live." :-( Happy to be able to watch it on my computer, though.

Forget her name, but the woman who had the unfortunate belly flop on bars -- after gymnastics, so many sports she could do.

I’m a bit disappointed that we didn’t see more. It’s not like NBC can’t do it, as they often get you caught up on golf during a live broadcast. I guess I’m spoiled by the ESPN 4-box from NCAAs.

It was a little disappointing. If they would shut up (no offense Terry Gannon) there might have been time to see more routines. I hope we see significantly more than just Simone (even though I love her). Hopefully the producers will be prime time ready

Does it stream on demand? I can’t figure out streaming, what’s the point if you have to watch it at the exact hour and can’t tape it.

Session 1 replay is already available. No need for tape as most streamed shows are always there when you’re ready to watch.

USA Gymnastics says they have every routine up here on their youtube channel:

Thank you for those you posted. I looked on the USA gymnastics page earlier today and there was no indication there would be anything on Peacock. maybe I just missed it but I couldn’t find it

USAGym probably didn’t promote it because of their relationship with Flo. Always check this thread as @Sylvia was all over it.
