[HeatherC]

THANK YOU ASHER.

"really good so far and that was a struggle" which is it Tim???? Pick one!

edited to add that Tim saying "You see that Brody is in second and that's shocking" babe this is a 6 event competition we know things change you're the only one shocked

Juda is pumped about his floor. Looked good what I saw while flipping between screens.

 

[HeatherC]

They better show us Paul's FX!

 

[Rukia]

tbh yul looked very nervy on that floor routine but he survived

 

[HeatherC]

Yul on FX is always such a treat. A little bouncy tonight but still good.

 

[HeatherC]

DANGIT.

 

[Rukia]

burn the horse we don't need it

Ayiyiyi! Khoi off the PH!

 

[HeatherC]

This is crazy.....Khoi, this is your event!!

 

[Karen-W]

OMG! This is disastrous for Khoi!

 

[pollyanna]

Gutted for Khoi!

 

[beckab81]

Hoping Khoi can come back strong on Saturday - they're only counting 3 scores, so his nationals performance + clean Saturday will get him there.

Mama Young knows. All in her baby boy's head.

And the US guys START on PH in the team qualifications at the Olys.....

that means they can only go up from there

 

[HeatherC]

Frederick Richard delivered so much better tonight than he did at US Nats.

 

[Karen-W]

At least Frederick did a great floor to end the night!

 

[HeatherC]

I am gonna go find some You Tube videos of Paul's good events tonight since USA Network decided to only show the not so good ones....

Oh did this already start? Am I missing this play-by-play thread? Well, I’m just going to ask this anyway is anybody watching the debate that’s going to start in three minutes

 

[HeatherC]

Paul is in FOURTH!!!

 

[Rukia]

I just don't see the need for a 1-event specialist at this point but also I'm not adding any numbers lol I'm going based entirely on vibes

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Is Peacock showing more gymnastics or are they showing the same broadcast as USA network?

How long is the play back good for? I think I’m going to watch you know who debate you know who

Timing of this was deliberate - Trials just ended for the night right in time for the debate, lol.

Ahhhh OK I watch on the way back. Hopefully it will still be up.

 

[Spikefan]

No music issues and all earlier gym stuff is up so you should be fine.

I have a spreadsheet where I'm going to play around with some team configurations after the debate is over.

Brody has top 3 scores in 4 apparatus and top 5 in a 5th one. Shane has top 3 scores in 2 apparatus, top 5 in 3 more. Frederick and Paul have top 3 scores in 2 apparatus, top 5 in 2 more. After that, it's sort of a toss up between Khoi and Asher - Khoi has top 3 scores in 2 apparatus, top 5 in 1 more; Asher has top 3 scores in 1 and top 5 in 3 more. Cameron Bock has top 2 scores in 2 events (pommel & high bar) but unusable scores in the rest of the events. He might be a dark horse option to help bump that pommel score up.

I was sitting right in front of where Khoi stepped off the podium after floor. Uh….he could not really use one leg. I think the injury bug got him
