Gymnastics News #23: Defying Gravity

Italy 2-fall bar routine

U.S. on vault: Chiles did well, Carey and Jones not quite their best, but good enough. No disasters.

Impressed with the last British vaulter—huge 2TY with great form.

Andrade’s bars were excellent

That's Ondine Achampong. I'm not holding my breath but quietly hoping she gets an amanar by next year.

Beam is eating them alive

 

[millyskate]

At least whoever is supplying the stream is doing a good job of trying to show the maximum number of routines.

 

[millyskate]

wow Villa just killed it on beam

 

[ilovesalchows]

Jordan seems to have hit bars.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Wong bested Carey's score on UB so that was a good call.

 

[millyskate]

I know people here are not fans but I love three up three count. So many things could happen, and they do!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Jones' dismount makes me nervous every time. She lands at the very front of that mat.

I’d like it better if it was 6-4-4. We used to see so much more gymnastics

 

[millyskate]

Good to see Canada doing so well! I loved Sydney Turner's floor.

Craig Heap's commentary

 

[ilovesalchows]

Jade was over time. I was worried with how cautiously she seemed to be moving.

 

[her grace]

That’s Carey’s first beam routine in team finals, right? Missed several connections and then the time penalty.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Blakely would have had a huge score if she'd stayed on. Hope she is able to medal in EF.

 

[her grace]

Nice comeback for Chiles on beam.

France and Canada had some good bar sets.

 

[ilovesalchows]

We have a race for bronze brewing! Would love to see Japan or Canada get it. Edge to Japan based on how bars v beam scores trend.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Alice Kinsella reminds me of the Hemingway sisters.

 

[her grace]

Rock on, Carey, with her tumbling!

 

[millyskate]

Japan what a shame.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Oh Japan. Ugh.

 

[Karen-W]

Such a shame for Japan!

 

[ilovesalchows]

Congrats to Canada!

 

[millyskate]

Team Canada is so emotional. So USA, GB and Canada get not only medals tonight, but team tickets for the Olympics

It must be particularly sweet for Canada who are realistically a bubble team on some days.

 

[Karen-W]

The reaction from Team Canada was everything.

Congrats to all three teams!

 

[honey]

Am I crying over gymnastics? Yes, yes I am. So happy for Ellie and the rest of the Canadian team! Everything had to align just right (primarily every other team melting down ), but a great reward for the only team without a fall in the final.

 

[skipaway]

So glad I tuned into this thread…I just put on Peacock and was able to rewind to the start before they remove it!

 

[Spikefan]

What are the statues they are receiving supposed to be?

 

[BaileyCatts]

Yeah, what are those crazy colored things? I can't make it out on my phone screen.

The coaches get a medal too?
