OT Artistic Gymnastics

[disneydance]

That's a great perspective. I had never looked at it like that before. But you're right. The strength required plus the attention to execution makes it an intense event. When I did rugrat gymnastics, it was definitely my least favorite.

Another question, why is Skinner the least liked gymnast on the gymternet? I don't follow the chalkbucket forums. @disneydance

Go to wwgym or gymscoop or intlgymnast. Her Twitter has been awful in the past it's honestly her attitude more than anything. She feels I entitled to things she hasn't earned. She also told her friends in a interview that she was on the 2012 Olympic team. She's known to tweet about her drama with boys and things she's written in the past are just cringeworthy. When she didn't make worlds in 2013 she threw a hissy fit on Twitter though I believe the tweets are gone by now. I could go on and on but people just can't stand her. Her nickname on the gymternet is YourKayla Skinhead or YourKayla Skimmer.

I had the joy to watch it in person at Pac Rims when she debuted the Cheng and I have to agree I honestly think she's going to take home 5 golds this summer as long as she hits!

I'm debating going but I just think the shows are so cheesy. It also gets out so late and it's a hour and a half drive and whatever traffic there is getting out my brother only lives a 5 minute walk away from the arena as he works in one of the buildings in the same area as the arena so he can just walks to work so I'm thinking about spending the night at his place. I'll have to see. I'd love to splurge and get the package you get to meet with the Olympians with that being the main reason I'd go. I've already seen Simone, Aly, Jordyn, Nastia and Gabby compete in person. They have all committed to the tour. As well as many others who will most likely be on tour so I feel like the only reason I would go would be to meet some of my idols. I wish I was going to Rio this summer but I've already been to a few Olympics including London and Vancouver, which was one of the most amazing experiences watching USA win gold but my parents will be in Europe that week unfortunately and I don't feel comfortable going alone and I don't think I could get anybody to go with me because it's so expensive.

I'm so excited for Laurie I feel like she sealed her ticket tonight. Also I feel like MyKayla's stock went down tonight as well placing 10th in the AA. As well as Laurie proving she is team finals worthy on floor as she tied with MyKayla. All MyKayla brings is a scary Cheng, and a ok Amanar. Martha technically doesn't even have to add her to the national team as all she's required to do is the top 6 AA though I heard Martha is inviting the top 12 AA as well as whoever else she feels to trials like which will definetly include Locklear. I haven't watched yet as I'm a west coaster and it won't be on for another hour on NBC but I've been watching the app all night and the app is pretty telling about what's happening. I'm guessing Simone had a bobble on beam but I'm not too worried she hits when it really matters.

I'm tempted to write Laurie's name in pen on the team. Aly firmed it up for me this weekend too. Gabby is still on for me even though she didn't really do herself any favors this weekend. Still think the 5th spot goes to Maggie OR Ashton/Madison. (LOL at them tying on bars).

Also why do they insist on trying to convince us Ragan Smith is a baby?

Over/under on how many times we will see the Orozco interview before the end of the games? I'm saying 12. It's beautiful but NBC is getting like a sick pleasure from it.

I get increasingly disappointed in Gabrielle Douglas each time I see her. I wouldn't be disappointed if she didn't make the team at this point. Maybe it's because she acts like she wouldn't be disappointed either.

Ooo wish I could shimmy on the app because that last sentence is the truth.

I think she's trying to play the "Oh well, I didn't really want to win the AA anyways. I was just here for my family," card and this is her set up. She's probably upset that her dream of defending her title is fading fast as other gymnasts are becoming noticeably stronger. It's tough, but nobody is top dog forever.

This will sound harsh but she won the AA title because she hit all 4 events while the rest faltered on some. If she won't increase her difficulty and execution, she will be overtaken by the others

 

[cheerKT]

I honestly think Aly will outscore her for the second AA spot at this point. I guess we'll see!

Simone Biles' double full in her floor routine should be required viewing for every Level 5 cheerleader who thinks their death spiral is a double.

It's a thing of beauty.

I agree and disagree with this statement, I think, Gabby is finally coming to the realization that the Rio Olympics is not going to be about her and will be the final coronation of Simone Biles, the Royal Highness of gymnastics...

The history books will remember Gabby's achievements, being the first Black AA, but there is that big ? now, had Simone was a little older, would Gabby achieved her accomplishments... I still LOVE Gabby, but unfortunately, she is a witness, to seeing history in the making... Simone may walk away from this Rio Olympics with 5 gold medals...Wow!

PS: Last time this domination occurred was with Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci, I still remembered the same look Gabby is displaying towards Simone, Olga Korbut had that same look toward Nadia Comaneci...js!
