Gymnastics News #15

The US is going to their strongest event HB and they are not too bad on floor. I do agree on PH as that will be what tests their medal chances.

:lol: she competes like a bamboo's ass. She needs to love herself and go eat a bran muffin. And then work on her endurance because she's going to be working double from here on out. I really don't want to see anymore of her crying or egotistical temperament in Rio, she's bringing this negativity to herself and it's pointless and only going to hurt her mentally.

Do some of the us gymnasts look like overly buff horses? Yes, but if she watched the Aly Raisman documentary and saw the leg conditioning drills that Mihai had her do, she'd understand that in actuality she's kind of just a waif without a cause. Aly would kill for her line, toe point, and fluidity but she throws it away and then smiles about it.

:drama:

I think that Khorkina should be the team manager and be paid to yell at them.

Mustafina would slap her into next week.

Wait you don't wanna see that in Rio? But the Russian drama is just as entertaining when they hit their routines!

P.S. I love Yin Alvarez! I think he was crying after Leyva's HB?
 
USA new levels of obnoxiousness. When the coach starts roaring a good minute after the performance whilst there are athletes on the pears etc....the guys are also the most inarticulate morons I've ever had the pleasure of watching...and listening to

Examples:
You do you baby
Let's go baby
That's what I'm talking about baby
And what...and what....

:rofl: That's because she is utterly and completely full of sh*t! She needs to let it go already! Seriously! I miss Musty because she wouldn't have any of this! Komova is gifted, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't have to work! Say what she will about the Americans (and I'm American and they are not my favorite team by any stretch) but they hit their routines at game time. She wouldn't make it through a weekend at Marta's ranch...lol.

ETA: Maybe Komova needs to be broken down completely and then rebuilt, if you know what I mean.

Uh what's wrong with that? I see not harm or disrespect on what you listed. :confused:

Should they say "you suck you big stupid" instead? I fail to see what is wrong with what you have listed.
 
Komova needs to embrace her inner bitch and flip the judges already. We all know it's coming. :2faced:

It reminds me vaguely of when Boguinskaya lost the world AA title to Kim Zmeskal and she boldly told the press that it the championships had been held in Europe and not in the US there is no way she would have won, lol.

At least Bogie backed it up with great gymnastics and didn't body shame her competitors...publicly. She probably wouldn't tolerate any of Komova's crap and make sure she'd be off the team for someone more stable and with more grit.
 
14.200 for Whittenberg. Uh oh... Well there goes the silver medal for sure.

Does is bother you when the Americans do it because you understand what they are saying? All of the athletes shout words of encouragement to each other. Frankly, I wish I understood what all of shouts. It doesn't bother me in the least. That's just part of being a team.

Well, that's quite a bit different because Boguinskaya actually performed extremely well in Indianapolis and it was a very close result that I think legitimately could have gone either way. It wasn't the most gracious comment, but it at least had some basis in the truth. Komova OTOH should really stay on her events before she starts talking.

Agreed....I did say vaguely.....lol.

And I wholeheartedly admit here (as I have upthread) that Komova is mean-spirited and needs a bite of a reality sandwich.
 
Crap. Well there goes the bronze.

I remember rooting for her instead of bland Zmeskal. Svetlana was so beautiful.
 
As happy as I am that the U.S. women won yesterday, the men's team competition has been more exciting to watch.

The U.S. men gave Whittenburg a second chance on FX: 14.200
Naddour: 15.100
Ruggeri: 14.633

I'm calling it right now: The U.S. men's team will be Mikulak, Whittenburg, Leyva, Naddour, and Wynn. Anyone disagree with me? Could Dalton or Orozco get in?

Dalton could definitely get in especially with how floor went today.

It bothers me when the coaches do it, when they have no athletes on the apparatus...and they're running past an apparatus with an athlete performing. But I take your point

I have lost all faith in Orozco. Ruggeri has pretty much killed any hopes for Rio.

I agree with Mikulak, Leyva, and Naddour.

Whittenburg for his PB skills. They other is up in the air.

I understand. We've just come to deal with Alvarez. American broadcasters talk about him almost as much as Leyva. I think even Danell is over it at this point. What can you do? He comes with the package.

ETA: Come to think of it, it might be why he hides under that damn towel.
 
If they repeat final rotation scores from qualifying:
JPN: 273.019
USA: 269.42
GBR: 269.378
CHN: 268.192
RUS: 264.361
 
This is so close. Exceptional viewing. I'm thinking the Russians might take the bronze, go 4th and US 5th. China with HB wont lose the silver, surely?
