I really hate this policy @Ticketmaster_AU. I wanted these tickets, and can't have them just because there's a seat left? Yet, in other areas of the stalls there's clearly been one seat left? You should let people have the tickets. Someone will come alone.

She was so right. I am glad we have the preferential voting system in Australia. Because I don’t want to have to settle between the two major parties either. My vote can go to a candidate/party that I align with, with preferences below, and it’s never going to be a wasted vote.
i hated that people crucified chappell roan over the correct take

OH MY GOD. Fix the damn umpiring. This has been ridiculous. #AFLWDonsPies

One of these auskickers has got a massive future in the AFLW. Reading the play in both offence and defence, kicked 2 goals (and played it up to the crowd, who all responded!), directed her teammates where to go, and was all round great to watch! #AFLWDonsPies

This is my favourite floor routine ever. I would watch this over and over again. I do find it sad that there has been an evolution in the sport away from routines like this. I don’t think something like this will ever be seen again. There is a whole thread here of great routines.
This is going to be a thread. This is always the first that comes to mind. Omelianchik, the 1985 world champion on floor. youtu.be/8las-xOxNpI?feature…

This place is truly cooked. It’s making me hate gymnastics.

The comments show that there is still a bias towards only balletic movement being considered artistic. These movements align with the music, use her whole body, and she is presenting out to the audience. This is artistry. That final corner choreography is particularly fabulous.
I fear this was the last time we had a true, Olympic-caliber floor exercise. No tacky AI music, no ridiculous DJ-beat... Red Poppy with extraordinary passes, artistry, and choreography... we will never have it this good I miss you Aly Raisman

My quote tweet is not an endorsement of the OP’s opinion that this is the last Olympic calibre routine. I am not in agreement with everything they say. As it says in MY post, it was shared in reference to the comments.

Jade needs to do the upgrades, and get an acting and/or dance coach. She has the goods, but needs to acknowledge that the performance side is needed in this COP far more than it was needed in Tokyo.
If I were an athlete known for vault and floor attempting to make the American Olympic team for 2028 I would be extremely alarmed about the results of the World Championships If I am JR, I would focus on beam If I am JoCh, I would focus on bars If I am JaCa….what is the path

Jesse's routine was so good! Glad I woke up at 3.20am to watch it 😆
Replying to @thegymterdotnet
Jesse Moore in fifth on high bar is the second-best in Australia's history! The only one better was Philippe Rizzo winning gold 20 years ago. Camilo Vera in sixth was one spot away from matching Jossimar Calvo's fifth-place record from 2013, also second-best in program history.

Yulo got the 5.6, but at what cost?
The vault downgrades will kill this sport. Ellie last night. Harry Hepworth tonight. I hate it here.

I was posting a tweet, and this popped up. Natalie Woods leaving seemed inevitable… surprised they didn’t wait until next week to announce it though!

Going to the Potterless live show in Melbourne with my teenage son is such a great memory. This is a great way to send the show off.
On the 10th anniversary of Potterless’ 1st episode, I’m happy to announce #WizardOff, a charity live stream on Dec. 20, 2026 supporting Trans Lifeline. #JKR is causing harm to trans folks across the globe, so let’s push back with some charitable fundraising and counterprogramming

I watched Targhetta's routine twice, thinking that was the best PH routine I'd ever seen. Then Manukyan closed it out with THAT. WOWOWOWOW.

How did she even get a vault to her feet? Extraordinary. Could easily have ended as a 0.
Ragazzi io non so nemmeno come sia riuscita a fare lo Yurchenko teso fatto così e a non morire sulla tavola, bravissima a tirare fuori qualcosa da una situazione così. #italgym

I’m very happy for Skye, and devastated for Nemour. Vault obviously affected her bars too—a clean bar routine would have put her into bronze. Looking forward to the comeback.
