Women Latest Simone Video

[vagymmomma]

Aliya's recent bars video made me think "Wow". Now USAG drops this new video of Simone and I am thinking the same thing. Aliya gets bonus points for popping out a kid, but Simone is adding difficulty ... after a year off!! Double double off beam?? Shaposh 1/2? The new generation of American girls is quite amazing, but Aliya and Simone just take my breath away.

Can't wait for the next Olympics.

Amazing! I loved hearing Laurent speak about Simone and training her. He knows what a singular amazing athlete she is, but also knows he has things to offer her and things he can help her improve. Very inspiring.

On a different note...is Ashton now training at WCC?

Was asked to leave her former gym apparently.

Simone is on fire. Cannot wait to see her compete this year. Now it might be worth by tickets and a hotel.

We are going to US Classic!! I cannot wait to see her!

I'm excited to see where Laurent can take Simone. She is just amazing.

Wonder what the story is with that? But I imagine ti is good for her and Simona to train together.

That video was incredible.

I love that she is upgrading. She’s so amazing. What I loved most about the video was when Laurent talked about how he believes in her and now she needs to believe in herself more, particularly on bars.

All gymnasts need to know that their coaches believe in them.

The story is out there, but I am not going to share it here.

I just read the rumors, none of it is good on any level from any side.

I thought she had peaked, especially since she had taken 18 months off, but that yurchenko triple and double double off beam made me think otherwise... she's on fire!!

Ashton is a 20 year old woman now. Perhaps it is good for all sides that she has moved on to a different place than the gym she started at age 11. A fresh start for all. I wish the best to all involved.

Simone’s upgrades are incredible for such a short time…I wonder if she will compete the TTY? I think it will be good for her to have a training partner in the gym.

Absolutely critical.
