I echo all that was said about Simone and would also like to point out I think it would have been a lot more "damaging" to those little girls having to see their hero push herself too far and break her neck on live TV....
I echo everyone's sentiments about Simone so no need to retype it out. She's the GOAT, in more ways than one.
One takeaway for me is that the dominance we've enjoyed for so long is simply not there anymore. The World (or....Russia and maybe kinda China even though they had a bad day) have...
I know you weren't going for an exact comparison, but I just wanted to point out that Ice Dancing is an olympic sport. It's literally figure skating footwork/spinning without jumps. And it's just as fun and appealing, at least to me.
Exactly. Like the US Men took exactly what they needed in the chance that Covid wiped out the whole team. 4 all arounders and a specialist. Leaving a spot open on the women's side when you could have plugged a specialist (RILEY) in there is pretty silly.
I would have sent Riley in the individual spot even with that fall. It made the most sense. And then to not even select her as an alternate......??? I don't get it.
I really do love both Grace and MyKayla. I think Grace could give you any routine you need in a team final if you wanted to rest Simone on bars or something or not use Suni on vault since she's still nursing an injury. She's consistent on most events (despite some missteps at Trials but she...
I think what bums me out the most about Morgan is that it makes me feel like had she skipped these comps (she's still rehabing an injury) and tried to petition straight to Trials they would have let her. No guarantees of course but it happened on the men's side with Colin Van Wicklen. Instead...
JADE CAREY TRIPLE DOUBLE ALERT
I wonder if she will throw it this weekend!
Also Riley's injury she sustained at GK Classic will keep her limited to only bars this weekend. She been through so much, I'm really rooting for her!
On the men's side, I saw Colin van Wicklen is out this weekend for...
Yep. My dog was trained super well to hold it all day. At my last job, I was able to come home over lunch and let him out. Then I changed jobs and it wasn't possible anymore, so he's been trained to go out with me in the mornings then again when I get home at the end of the day. Now I've been...
Very much depends on where you get your test. I've done three tests total, and never paid a single time. There are plenty of free testing sites available, most take a couple days for results. There ARE free rapid tests, but they are usually hard to book. They are often booked up for weeks out...
I think it's pretty annoying they bent the rules for Ohio State too, but people are gonna protect their cash cow, sadly. Also the reason why Clemson didn't want to play a makeup game against Florida State the week before the ACC title game, so they could "rest", after throwing such a fit that...
