Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

[Theatregirl1122]

at this point i'm afraid yul is going to end up alternate and i'll cry

TBH are there any teams that won’t make you cry?

 

[Rukia]

TBH are there any teams that won’t make you cry?

i did not come here to be called out like this

 

[Karen-W]

F*ck you, NBC! You only show us HALF of Donnell's floor and it's his highest FX between Champs & Trials?!!?!?!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm going to be really sad if Nedoroscik gets a place over some of the more well-rounded gymnasts. He's not even consistent.

This honestly bothers me so much. Like if you’re gonna be a specialist, you need to be locked in.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Finally! A commercial! I wanna put on my jammies.

 

[museksk8r]

Oh, shut up, Tim - Nedoroscik doesn't help anywhere else.

Right! Stephen should be attempting the highest difficulty in the world given he only trains and competes one event. Watering down his difficulty is inexcusable.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Honestly it’s been 16 years and I’m still a little obsessed with that 2008 team.

 

[Karen-W]

I am what could charitably be described as a casual viewer of men’s gymnastics, but it’s Olympic trials so here I am. Invested in the fates of people I know nothing about because that NBC Olympic fanfare just does something to me.

I admit I find the bro-y, chest pounding, fist pumping and yahooing after almost every routine to be absolutely

 

[Rukia]

ok my new solution to my team problem is just to increase team size

 

[Rukia]

wait we have 2 rotations to go i thought this was the last one when will my suffering end

 

[her grace]

Honestly it’s been 16 years and I’m still a little obsessed with that 2008 team.

Oh yeah. Artemev’s final routine on pommel horse to seal the victory

 

[museksk8r]

Amazing stick by Brody on vault!

 

[Karen-W]

ok my new solution to my team problem is just to increase team size

Honestly, for MAG, I would either increase the team size or give countries that qualify a team the opportunity to compete for 1 event specialist place.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

“Let’s not go into the math”

I’m begging to know the math

 

[Karen-W]

I'm sorry, but I can't justify Hoopes getting on the team any more than I can justify Nedoroscik making this team. Next, please!

 

[Rukia]

“Let’s not go into the math”

I’m begging to know the math

"let's not go into the math" as i explain my team of Richard, Moldauer, Young, Whittenburg, and Hong

[Allskate]

Khoi!!!!!!

 

[Karen-W]

Khoi killed it on PH!!!!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes! Do what you need to do to knock Nedoroscik out of the picture!

 

[Sarah]

Much better night for Khoi.

Can we just send extras? Kind of like China sent an extra pair one year at junior worlds?

 

[Rukia]

ouch that looked painful

 

[Sarah]

Ouch.

 

[Karen-W]

OMG! Major fall from Asher on PH!

 

[Spikefan]

 

[Karen-W]

Dude - we don't really want to have to count on any of these scores for qualifying either...

 

[honey]

“Now that’s bad” as Hong body slams onto the mat on his side. You don’t say, Tim.

[Sarah]

So Shane Wiskus is having the meet of his life…
