I tried to use quotes, but for some reason it didn’t work. I am sure you don’t realize it, OP, but you are telling a mom whose kid is an elite on the national team she is patronizing because she is telling the truth about gymnastics. And others are also telling the truth about gymnastics. No...

No, if you had read my reply, you would have seen that I meant the kid was a 3 when mine was, and then did 7-8-9 and HOPES, while mine did 3-4-6-7. Simply illustrating how talented those crazy kids are.

All I will say, because I’m afraid of anything else sounding just awful, is NO. You do NOT say anything. Period.

I agree with the others to give it a shot. We drove that far for four years and don’t regret it at all, even though mine ultimately transitioned to dance (which is now “only” 35 minutes on a good day). I am glad we gave her the chance to succeed and feel we would have regretted not doing it.

I thought they said Konnor’s injury was worse than they thought and she needed surgery on the last episode of Golden but I could be mistaken.

Simone has said she will do the tour….it’s a very, very watered down version of gymnastics, so it should be fine. Suni is going to Auburn, and will not be on the tour unless something changes.

Kayla has one more year of high school and is committed to Florida.

Shilese was supposed to go to Florida, right? But, never signed a NLI? If I’m not mistaken, Konnor also had surgery.

Riley is in Florida already, I believe to start college. Emily Lee ruptured her Achilles, no? So, she probably won’t be there. Skye has also been injured, and I believe had or is having surgery.

This list is pretty good. It’s older so there MAY be one or two inaccuracies, but it’s helpful. https://emethgym.com/team/team-parent-resources/skills-defined/

If Simone hadn’t been there for team, AA, and presumably EF, people would criticize her more, that’s a certainty. They would say she is “pouting” and “not supporting the team.” She cannot help the media focus on her. I’m 100% sure she didn’t ask NBC to broadcast her ankle being taped multiple...

Based on episodes of Golden, Suni’s family definitely is not well off, and I found them to be very nice and down to earth. Simone’s adoptive parents were quite well-off when they adopted her and her sister and obviously, she is a multi-millionaire. That shouldn’t be held against her.

Guess I was wrong when I said it wouldn’t end up that way!

That’s tough. I would love a podium of Andrade, Suni, and Melnikova in whatever order but doubt it ends up that way!

So, on another forum, someone broke it down and US and ROC tied for first with D score, but US was 4th for E score, mostly because of floor where they were last (in team final). Their E scores were 2nd on every other event. I just found it interesting because I think traditionally, we have...
