Katelyn Ohashi was the one who had to tell Miss Val to back off of Kyla about her weight. I’ve heard both of them talk about that moment on podcasts. It always rubbed me the wrong way. There was Miss Val saying how she’s changed and how she feels terrible about weighing girls in the past because...
Ribs actually pop in and out for some people more often than you might think. Our chiropractor pops them back into place for people all the time. My daughter had it happen once last year, and it was an easy fix for her. I have no idea if that's what's happening with your child or not, but I...
I would tell the coach that if he can't follow doctor's orders then she won't be going to practice until she's fully healed. You have to be able to trust that the coaches will do what's in her best interest, and that means following medical advice fully. Did you explicitly tell coach what the...
That one just blew my mind. They can't show bra straps, but multiple inches of underwear is okay?? Interestingly enough, the two juniors from MG Elite had on different leos today. Did anyone else notice that? Both were beautiful, but Olivia's was cut SO high. I do not understand.
Yes, the leo bothered me a lot. I noticed in the still pics yesterday that she was starting to spill out the sides of the top, and it made me super uncomfortable for her. I don't care if Riley designed it herself and had full control - someone should have stepped in and overruled it. I know they...
Are you talking about rec classes? I'm guessing so since you mentioned that they re-evaluate every two months. From what I've seen of rec I would think that is pretty unusual. Many gyms don't even have regular evaluations for rec classes, and if they do they aren't so specific. They have general...
They really did do well! The depth of the field was just incredible. I can't remember a more exciting all-around competition for the men! I kept thinking the men's AA was so exciting because no one was making mistakes, and the women's was exciting because they WERE making mistakes, and you...
I completely agree with you. I know it's hard, but they should at least tell us the other two scores if they aren't going to show all routines. The FIG scoring is hard because you can't go back to see what anyone scored unless they are ranking top three. At least if you can, I can't find it...
I have the Olympic Channel and I'm watching the men's team final live, but it's so frustrating! As usual, they are only showing select gymnasts. It would be nice if the US coverage would show all of the US gymnasts competing on each event. I mean, there are only three of them to show. I know...
I laughed at that part, too...and then I looked in the stands and realized that he probably wasn't too far off. Surprisingly, when I watched the live stream of the girls this morning there weren't too many people watching them, either. That really shocked me. I guess there are just so many days...
I would have a major problem with no spotting on bars. You even see the elites getting spotted at major meets. Anyone can peel off or miss a release skill at any time. Even on the other events - there is a big difference from doing drills to doing the actual skill independently. My kid can do a...
I have definitely noticed a lack of "middle-tier options" in our area as well. The gym we are at now doesn't even have anything for rec gymnasts beyond intermediate classes. The only advanced classes they offer are in tumbling for now. I guess they figure that by the time you have advanced...
Glad you made it! It looked like there was a much bigger crowd today vs day 1. Did they mention at the end when they're going to announce the team? Or did they already announce it and I missed it?
Nevermind. I realized that Day 2 is actually tomorrow instead of today. How many men are getting selected for the team out of the 8 guys there? Is it 5?
They aren't using live scoring on the myusagym app, so it's nice that they are flashing each score on the screen for a few moments as they come up. I love how they cheer each other on!
Tim definitely can be condescending for sure. He made some remarks about Allan Bower the other night that were pretty harsh. He prepped it by saying he knew it was going to sound bad, but it was really a compliment, but I never really got the compliment part. He just talked about how he was not...
