Mentally I am still here
There is a perfect parallel universe somewhere in which Simone, Vika, and Rebeca (aka the three most naturally talented gymnasts of our time all got to compete against each other while healthy and at top shape during the 2016 quad

If I erased all of Vika Komova's injuries, the first thing she would do immediately after is get injured again
You can give one athlete a completely injury-free career. Every injury they ever suffered is erased. You get to see how great they could’ve been. Who are you choosing?

The thing is McKayla is remembered for her TF vault just as much. Her wins are iconic enough to not be overshadowed by this fall

Do you guys remember when 2 years in a row Russian gymnasts just ran into the vault table and got zeroes at worlds/Olympics? Like ???????????????????????????
kramarenko was surely a good gymnast but we all remember one sole thing she did

2012 gymternet in shambles over this discourse
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.

All my love to Aly but this routine, even though spectacular, lacked good posture, fluidity of movement, complex choreography, and expressiveness and pretending those qualities are only necessary for "balletic movement" is doing a disservice to all other styles of dance

You guys live such miserable lives oh my god
Pet peeve of mine is adults that make a very big deal about their birthdays & expect that their friends are obligated to participate

I am sure this is responding to nasty comments I missed but there is surely a way to acknowledge that a team can achieve great results without negating that inflated homescoring is and has always been a major issue that has historically led to major losses
USA - doomed to be unable to contend globally due to horrific domestic judging - will leave the World Championships with seven medals, including two golds.

Like, I haven't been around but I am sure that most people were not seriously saying that USA, as a team, cannot conted globally and I don't see a point in acting like this was the case
