I've seen about 5 episodes and I actually love this show. Those twins really make me laugh and that Dani girl is just such a sweetheart. Coach Ali seems great too! Seems to be portraying cheer pretty accurately too.
Yeah - they seem to imply that Angel is better cause they say something like "if you're impressed w/ Simone, you'll be blown away by Angel" in that article. Ummm - not sure what to say about that.
Didn't like Madison K's Leo - that red v looked like she had on a medal w/ a red ribbon and was kind of distracting the whole time she was on the ground.
Felt bad for Gabby - and dang was that hold she did impressive to save things. Her leo was gorgeous too,
Madison had to be a little...
And just cause she won the captain vote, doesn't mean it was unanimous. Wasn't it close between her and Simone? Makes me think it was 3 to 2... Maybe Aly voted for herself and only and 2 of the remaining 4 vote for her? ;)
Re: the behavior of the girls on the sidelines/stands/interviews, etc. I think there's clearly some type of divide between Gabby and the other 4 girls. It almost looks as Gabby, for whatever reason, is not part of a clique that the other 4 have. I actually feel bad for her, cause maybe she's...
Something that stood out to me was how close Laurie's beam and Aly's vault scores were to Simone's. I wonder if there is a chance that Laurie could win gold in beam EF? Hey - I'm just grasping for any possible upset/excitement I can find at this point - this team finals had to be the least...
They can't make it any more than 2 per country cause then one country would sweep the medals. I actually think we're lucky they don't make it one per country - especially in the EF where only 8 make it in.
Yeah - I hate to say this, but I think there was some serious execution underscoring in the earlier sessions compared to our session. It should be more consistent across the board when they are all competing at the same time in the various finals, but I feel really bad for anyone who didn't...
Yes - 2 per country is in effect for EF too. I have heard that the USA was one of the countries that pushed the hardest for that rule back in the day cause Russia was such a dominant force and we felt it was unfair for them to dominate so much - guess it came back to bite us - irony.
So Geddart sabotaged his own gymnast? What motivation would he even have for doing that? Dude doesn't seem to have much luck w/ his Olympians - Jordyn last time and now this girl ;).
I can't read that web page cause it's in Romanian ;), but that is great news she's doing all 4 events. I can not wait to see what she does on bars!!!! I so hope she's able to qualify for the AA finals.
Kind of like world's coverage on ESPN where they only show the top 4-5 teams, when there's a lot more in the finals. Of course, I guess they sometimes show short little snippets of the other contenders - probably should have done that here.
When you say they have "placed athletes in 3 area gyms to poach", do you mean that this gym sends in some of their athletes to the competitor gym for things like open gyms or tryouts, and then once in, those "mole" athletes convice the hosting gyms athletes to leave and come to their gym?
I mean, she made bars finals last Olympics and I think her routine this time is just as difficult. However, who knows what the other countries are beinging this time versus last - you got to figure china and Russia will get their 2 and that leaves 3 spots after Madison. The coaches should be...
Yeah - it will literally be up to Marta which of the 3 other AA-ers, besides for Simone, that she wants to "allow" to go for the AA in qualifying. She at least has to let 1 + Simone go so we have our 2 AA shots (cause as others have said whoever we have do AA will make the top scores), and we...
Interesting - so once podium training starts, the alternates have zero chance of competing at the Olympics? That's really not an alternate then IMO, but just someone who has a small chance of going until the very last minute that disappears. I guess they protect against injuries at the 9 day...
