Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Karen-W]

FML - McClure being interviewed and all but telling us that Nedoroscik's spot is getting safer the worst the rest of these guys do on pommel.

Donnell. ?. I so want him to make the team.

 

[Karen-W]

Oh, but, you know what? I want the USFS International Committee Chair being interviewed mid-competition during 2026 Nats for each and every discipline.

 

[HeatherC]

If this was a six man team, I'd be all on board with taking Stephen as a specialist, but with only five members, it's super risky and it makes me anxious and nervous for the other guys. Injuries happen (we just saw that with the ladies this week) and if someone goes down in Paris, it becomes such a nightmare (and we've already seen this happen too with Simone in Tokyo). Stephen seems like a super guy but I'm gonna need some AA's to hit pommels soon before my head explodes.

BTW-Carly Patterson, yes the one who won Olympic gold in 2004, fell off her signature event (beam) TWICE during Trials but she had done enough overall to prove that she was one of the strongest gymnasts and rewarded that choice with the AA gold and beam silver in Athens. Sending good vibes to the competitors tonight!

"what's your plan to get cpom the scores they deserve the people demand to know"

 

[HeatherC]

Yikes, glad Khoi stayed on the high bar but what a scary moment!

Who knows? We'll have to see what their FD looks like before I concoct any plans if that music rumor is accurate.

 

[HeatherC]

I would not be upset to see Shane make this team but let's see how he does on pommel, LOL

we survived wicked game dance party we can do anything

 

[Karen-W]

Yul killed it on parallel bars!

Do today’s scores carry over to Day 2?

 

[Karen-W]

Do today’s scores carry over to Day 2?

I believe that they count 3 of the 4 scores from Championships and Trials.

 

[HeatherC]

Do today’s scores carry over to Day 2?

Pretty sure that they do but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Karen-W]

I might very well slit my wrists before this weekend is over if I hear Tim with his stupid "gymnastics 101" canned line again.

 

[HeatherC]

We have an embarrassment of riches on parallel bars.....so many guys are doing good there tonight!

 

[Rukia]

Tim needs someone to hold his hand while Brody competes and like I get it, I feel that way when my faves are up but I also get paid nothing to talk about them

 

[Spikefan]

I am already tired of these commercials.

 

[HeatherC]

I like that they're taking a little time to show a few of the other athletes who aren't the biggest names here. Kai Uhmura is gonna be a star someday (I've seen him before and he's very good).

 

[Karen-W]

Wiskus was really happy with his pommel.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Oops misposted!

 

[HeatherC]

That HB routine was awesome from Frederick!!!

 

[Karen-W]

Richard KILLED his high bar!

 

[Rukia]

bless Frederick Richard we need some high bar scores lol

 

[HeatherC]

Donnell.....

 

[Karen-W]

Ugh - rough opening pass for Donnell on floor.

 

[Rukia]

I feel like Donnell's chances are slipping away.

 

[HeatherC]

Yeah, Donnell really needed to kill it here at Trials and day one has not been great at all.

 

[ilovepaydays]

Is Donnell going to be the best ?? male gymnast to never have made an Olympic team? ?

 

[Rukia]

I don't even recognize Nedoroscik without his glasses lol

 

[HeatherC]

I don't know if I can handle Stephen without his normal mane of hair, LOL
