Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Karen-W]

LOL - that boy in the red shirt during the replay of Yul's HB dismount!!!!

 

[HeatherC]

I wish they were showing more of the guys but having been to several gymnastics meets over the years, sometimes you have two BIG NAME athletes going up at the same time and it's super hard to watch in person....I can't imagine trying to show everything in a live broadcast. Thank goodness USA gymnastics puts all the routines on You Tube eventually!

Hoping Yul, Asher, Frederick, and Khoi all have great nights tonight and that MAYBE Peacock remembers that Paul Juda is also a top athlete and shows a few of his routines too.

PAUL!!!

 

[Karen-W]

@HeatherC asks and then receives Paul Juda's vault from Peacock, lol.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Colt Walker giving me alternate vibes.

 

[canbelto]

So ... is everyone from Stanford or what?

 

[Karen-W]

Nah - just 7 of the men, lol. They're all doing their rotation together.

Redemption for Yul on HB and Wiskus on rings.

Malone looks like a Ken doll. And talks like a christo-fascist.

 

[HeatherC]

So ... is everyone from Stanford or what?

Well, not really but it sure does feel like it at this competition, LOL

 

[ilovesalchows]

I’d be forging a relationship with Jesus if I had to land on that rebuilt knee too.

 

[Karen-W]

y'all really will be impressed by any basic white dude

LMAO! He is totally a basic white dude. But he's so pretty in that plastic way that's impossible to not acknowledge, ya know? He's like the prettiest of the pretty basic white dudes competing and Colt Walker is his younger, surfer dude frat bro, lol.

ETA - And Shane Wiskus is their slightly nerdy middle brother.

From certain angles he looks like a much shorter Tom Brady, another basic white dude jock.

Are you attending any of this in person? Isn't this happening in Ft Worth, which is sorta your neck of the woods?

TBF, I think there’s less than a dozen men’s gymnastics programs in D1 NCAA. The schools basically qualify for nationals just by existing.

I have a ticket to the high bar final in Paris. Now I will be thinking “ringarde” the whole time.

 

[Rukia]

normally I don't complain about name pronunciations unless it's funny but the way Tim pronounce Daiki Hashimoto's name is grating idk why lol

It's a bit of a haul (like an hour drive lol), but I considered going until I saw how much the tickets were. They were $$$. Seeing how empty it is, I'm not the only person who thought that.

 

[canbelto]

The US on PH is always the definition of struggle bus

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh, Asher!!!!! Fab on pommel until the dismount!

 

[HeatherC]

UGH, Asher really needs to get his act together....he was doing so well up until that dismount!

 

[Rukia]

ok well no one exercised the pommel horse apparently

 

[Rukia]

ok but what if we gave those diamond belt buckles to skam medalists this year

I mean they would have to be rhinestone but still it's funny (I hate those big belt buckles hahahaha)

 

[HeatherC]

He may not be everyone's cup of tea (which is perfectly fine) but if there's one person I want on my US men's Olympic team, it's a guy who is NOT rattled by anything and competes like a freaking BOSS. That is Brody in a nutshell and I respect that part of him so much.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Terry Gannon just gushed over the belt buckle that Brody won after winning Night 2.

Apparently, Terry has NEVER been to a state fair in his entire life.

 

[Karen-W]

So, if Brody is the ultimate basic white guy, does that make Donnell the ultimate basic black dude? He's so pretty toooooo.

lol the rodeo thing is funny to me too because like half the kids I knew in my tiny hometown did rodeo they'll just throw any kids out there

 

[canbelto]

I think Damian Lillard is the ultimate basic black dude. If you think "good looking black dude" he's basically the guy you picture.

Okay, someone needs to send this suggestion to the USFS stat! Diamond belt buckles instead of glass medals!

 

[canbelto]

Go Khoi!!

 

[Karen-W]

ok well no one exercised the pommel horse apparently

I guess Khoi did. Very nice routine!

 

[ilovepaydays]

Khoi needed that pommel horse routine. It’s basically the main reason why he will make this team.

 

[HeatherC]

KHOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was awesome on PH!
