I’m conflicted, too. I think headlines were similar when Jennifer Hudson’s family members were murdered by her sister’s ex. ... And I don’t know how I feel about being to immediately make this comparison a decade later.A lot of people have been criticising the news item and I'm conflicted. The wordings of the articles and titles especially are legitimately questioned. But when a person is a public figure to the extent that Simone Biles is a public figure, any event that affects them closely and this deeply is a natural news item. I can't really see any way around it.

I'm not conflicted at all. Yes, Simone is a public figure and the media can and will ask about her. And they should, to a certain extent. But it chaps my ass that the media is asking her how she feels about her brother who has been indicted/charged with triple murder. How in the hell is she supposed to feel? Quit asking dumb ass questions. I'd tell the Twitterverse to leave me the f*ck alone, too!A lot of people have been criticising the news item and I'm conflicted.

I always think it is ridiculous that they choose the men's team this early and then leave the women hanging until literally the last minute. (IIRC, last year they didn't even tell them who would be competing and who would be the alternate until they were already at Worlds.)
I personally don't think the results have that much to do with the system - I think the women's results are better because the pool of girls they have to choose from is much, much larger. They have also had a lot more talent in the women's ranks over the past several years. As many have pointed out, there are enough talented young women in U.S. elite gymnastics right now that they could field two complete Worlds/Olympic teams and those teams would probably finish 1-2 in the team competition. Even if they fielded three or four teams, I think all of those teams could still medal internationally. The same could not be said of the options on the men's side.I guess but we see which system is producing better results.
The Soviet gymnastics era is still alive!Chusovitina is just plain amazing. Not the best bars routine, but to be competing so successfully after all these years. Wow.
When she finished 2nd in the vault final at '91 Worlds, her fellow finalists were: Milosovici, Onodi, Bontas, Boginskaya (!), Miller, Zmeskal, and Yan.
