Gymnastics #24 - The Road to Paris

Has Morgan retired?

She was never on an Olympic team

 

[ilovesalchows]

Well you can test Hezly in prelims at least.

Whoa Josc just tied Jordan on bars

huh? Jordan had 14.200 and Josc had 13.025

 

[FiveRinger]

Not exactly on topic, but there's commercial. Do we know who the head coaches will be at WCC when the Landis leave? Just curious.

 

[Rukia]

Also I agree with the concerns about Hezley. I was about to ask if she had ever done a senior international. That's a lot to debut at the Olympics.

Oooohhhh! Tiana REALLY needs to work on those handstands on bars.

I kept waiting for the commentators to say something but nah I will just make my own. I love her beam and floor but bars definitely need work.

 

[Allskate]

I think Jade Carey is my Amber Glenn of gymnastics

I see them as totally different! Jade is so stoic and usually holds it together mentally. Amber is the complete opposite.

Not the same pressure as 3 up-3 count in the team final...

Whoa Josc just tied Jordan on bars

That is absolutely insane! I guess they didn’t deduct for her poor form and numerous leg separations.

YEP. But I think she still competes for Florida. She probably had the worst luck for Tokyo being pushed back a year.

i never needed to hear mike tirico say the words "daddy gang" ever pls someone invent a time machine so i can go back

It breaks my heart that Simone thought the world hated her after Tokyo. I was never mad at her (who the heck would ever be mad at her?!) but my heart hurt SO much for her after what happened over there and I cried when she got that bronze on the beam there because I could tell how much it meant to her.

Leanne attempts to dance on FX more than waving her arms in a corner.

 

[beckab81]

This floor routine isn't looking great for Leanne (but great final pass)

 

[danafan]

Rivera did compete at jr worlds last year, medalled on floor but got a zero on vault (didn't land feet first). She's also competed at team events in Jesolo and DTB. It's not like she has no experience.

The internet was FULL of assholes calling her a quitter

Two blondes that are capable of big tricks.

 

[ptvvibezz]

pretty alright floor for leanne

 

[HeatherC]

Very nice FX from Leanne!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Leanne is very poised. First 3 passes looked short.

 

[Karen-W]

Leanne wants that 5th spot - going for solid all-around - can fill in wherever!

It was horrible...she was a stronger person than I. The comments that people made, people calling her a quitter, that twisties were made up.....just vicious trolls. I'm so glad that she's come back for herself, not for us fans or the haters.

 

[Debbie S]

Right! She’s never competed in a Pan Ams, Worlds, or Olympics. Her mental fortitude under pressure at a major international has never been tested and she does still look like a junior competitor.

Which is why I think the committee will go with Leanne, assuming she hits tonight. At least she has been on a WC team.

And speaking of Leanne, great floor routine!

 

[Rukia]

The internet was FULL of assholes calling her a quitter

they still do it meanwhile my block list thanks them because that's an easy block lol

 

[HeatherC]

Jade is so calm on beam. Nice routine.

 

[Karen-W]

Wooo! Clean beam from Jade!!!!!!!

 

[Rob]

I think it's between Hezly and Tiana. They both have pretty decent beam average scores. Tiana has the edge on floor - which could be a factor - she's scoring higher than Jordan on FX.

Also - this does not negate me wanting Leanne to make the team, just that I have competing interests for that 5th slot, lol.

Agree, just depends on whether the weakness is bars, beam or floor, beam.

 

[canbelto]

I'm sorry, but Jade's beam routine is soo boring.
