Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Rukia]

i am not ready for the men yet but here we are

 

[Allskate]

Well, that was a depressing opening on Peacock compared to the other day when they were saying that Khoi was pretty much a lock, and now they're not currently predicting him to be on the team or one of the top contenders. I really hope he's okay and does a great job today.

 

[Sarah]

I think I’m more stressed about the men than the women…

 

[BittyBug]

??

 

[museksk8r]

I hate to say this, but apparently part of his problem is he doesn’t show much personality. He’s all business and they’re looking for entertainment

lol, if personality was a necessary trait in making a team selection, then Brody Malone would be in last place.

 

[Sarah]

Asher wants to be on this team. That vault was great.

 

[Rukia]

i'm watching eras tour dublin night 2 at the same time and Asher just vaulted to the end of all too well (10 min) wind in his hair he was there he was there

 

[museksk8r]

Yikes! Brody goes down on his best event, HB! Quite a shock!

 

[Rukia]

Brody is not having a good high bar at all

I'm editing this to add they kept showing Brody's dad and a girl they kept calling "his fiancee" and I have yet to figure out whose fiancee it is Brody's or his dad's

 

[Karen-W]

Dude, I thought this was starting later this afternoon. So glad I checked in and now I'm here.

 

[museksk8r]

And another major error by Brody. Ouch!

 

[museksk8r]

Asher Hong is off to a terrific start and he needs to have a fantastic night!

 

[Sarah]

I think it’s OK if Brody has an off day/weekend. He shouldn’t peak here. He was almost too good at US Champs. We don’t want him to repeat that.

 

[Karen-W]

Donnell has a solid mark for vault - best of the 4 meets for him!

 

[Sarah]

Nice vault for Khoi.

 

[museksk8r]

YES!!! Wonderful vault, Khoi!

 

[museksk8r]

Shane has been terrific here and consistent since Nationals!

 

[museksk8r]

That’s about as good as Juda can do a parallel bar set, his weakest event.

 

[Karen-W]

Really nice PB from Frederick!

 

[museksk8r]

Fred Richard being solid and reliable on PB! Great! ?

 

[museksk8r]

Sad for Donnell. I’m afraid whatever he does today will be seen as too little, too late.

 

[Rukia]

lol Brett seems a lot calmer than poor Alicia

 

[Karen-W]

Sad for Donnell. I’m afraid whatever he does today will be seen as too little, too late.

I disagree. None of the guys really did themselves any favors on Thursday night - that was one messy-AF meet for almost all of them. Only Hong and Wiskus really helped their cases on Thursday and neither of them are super-slam dunks, so they could easily get surpassed by the likes of Young and Whittenburg in final analysis.

 

[museksk8r]

LOL, Tim telling us not to panic because Brody is too valuable to leave home. We know you think so, Tim.

somewhere tim has a brody fanpage he secretly updates and i support him in this venture tbh let it all out tim

Oh, this is one time he's not wrong. He's obnoxious about his fanboying, but he's not wrong, lol.

Whittenburg did himself no favors at Nationals though. I’d love to see him make it, but he doesn’t appear to be favored by USAG.

 

[Karen-W]

Tim's so relieved there after the first two tumbling passes from Brody, he can't even contain his giddy laugh of relief.

 

[her grace]

Tim announcing that the viewing audience not wanting to hear about mistakes and Terry made my day be being all incredulous.

No, Tim, the problem is you don’t give any analysis about what the mistake was or what caused it, other than the super obvious “he took a step” and “he needed to grab the bar.” Try to provide intelligent insight and see how that goes.

 

[Rukia]

"he is really....doing a great job there" tim let your fan flag fly mama say whatever you were thinking originally
