gymnastics

Imagine using the situation Kerri Strug sitiation as an example of what someone should do. Besides, we all know that probably all these people who are hating on Simone Biles and using Kerri Strug as part of their argument would be incapable of even walking without limping when they had a broken...

For the sake of the argument, assume you like cheerleading or gymnastics or dance or something with a routine. Would you rather walk into a routine with a major deduction every time, but win by default, or walk in with no deduction but lose every time? :susPepe:

It’s called gymwheel. It looks very impressive, and I’m sure it looks much easier than it is. It must take a lot of strength and control.

I just got 2 new skills in the span of 2 days. Technically one new one and one old one that I stopped being able to do, but same thing :lisalaugh: First, I got my whip pass, which is a round off, whip, back handspring back handspring back layout. For the non gymnastics/cheerleading savvy people...

He told my little brother that if you don't have a standing back tuck by like 13 years old then you'll never get it. I landed my first one yesterday at the ripe old age of 21 :sanapray: It's not consistent and I take a step forwards out of it but it's getting there. This is a standing back tuck...

And manages to win a bronze medal on beam :maheart: Congrats to her, I'm glad she's feeling at least a little better, and I'm glad she stood up for herself and did what she needed to.

I feel bad for Jade Carey on vault, she could have done so well. Nerves are a bitch. Congrats to MyKayla Skinner though, it must feel good to go from not competing to being a silver medalist. And of course congrats to Andrade for her gold, it was deserved. Bars was a bit of a mess. It's a shame...

It was a good competition, the top 4 did very well. I'm happy for Andrade to medal, though I was expecting her to get first. If only she didn't go out of bounds, but I'm happy for Sunisa Lee also. Overall, it was a very good competition, I enjoyed watching it :sanapray:

I wasn't that surprised that Russia won, but I wasn't expecting Simone to pull out. With her they might have had a chance but without it was an easy victory for Russia. I wonder what'll happen for finals, Simone said she'd be back but we'll see how she does then ig :susPepe:

I think mines obvious, gymnastics :lisalaugh:

I think so many people are shocked by the fact that Russia is a full point ahead of the US, they've been so dominant no one expected this to happen. Hopefully they get it together for finals, it would be really disappointing if they have another meh day.

For those who don't know, gymnastics is mostly a young person sport. Aly Raisman was considered pretty old, and she was 23 in the Olympics. But Oksana Chusovitina is next level impressive. At 46, she's the oldest competitor for gymnastics at the Olympics, and it's her 8th Olympics. And she...

Based on what vaults she warmed up, it seems that she may go for her amanar and cheng on qualification day, not her double back :wimwim: Of course she might still go for it but she easily might not. Watch me be wrong

Team: Grace McCallum Jordan Chiles Simone Biles Sunisa Lee Additional ones: McKayla Skinner Jade Carey I'll post some videos of each competitor in the spoilers of the events they will likely compete. And now for the event specialists I think it's kind of stupid having 3 vaulters and...

The race for the 4th team spot is intense, McKayla Skinner is making a case for herself but you never know what'll happen on the second day, especially with beam :susPepe: @Tickita I assume you're watching?

Gymnasts have better form on tumbling that’s true. But that’s because they’re trained that way, not because they”appreciate art and history”. Find me any gymnast who deeply cares about those things. I’ll wait :nayeonisdone:

What a queen :sj_weary:

I had one that would always yell at us and tell us we weren't doing good enough. One time, I slipped off the high bar and landed on my head and she didn't care, my brothers coach had to go make sure I was okay. Later the same day, I asked if I could go home because I couldn't do anything because...

The official thread to talk about anything gymnastics. Types of Gymnastics Artistic Possibly the most popular. The women's contains 4 apparatus: uneven bars, vault, balance beam, and floor; while the men contains 6 apparatus: pommel horse, rings, parallel bars, vault, floor, and high bar...
