JD Vance is the most successful American under the age of 40. Veteran, college in two years, Yale Law, hedge fund, memoir that has sold more than 2 million copies, senator, now prospective VP. He should have overwhelming gratitude for this country. Let's see if he shows it.
also, 4 seconds is FAR too small of a margin of error for the amount of variables that can alter that time. did the timer start early? was there a delay in posting the scores to the scoreboard? a delay in announcing it? did they log the inquiry times absolutely correct?
feet flexed… not a single individual gold to her name… e scores in the 7s… carried by simone in every team final… knees bent… split at 150… mormon tithes overdue…. crypto husband… failing youtuber… fake tan prices being inflated… and yet she continues to yap
Athletes have begun arriving in Paris ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics. The Onion met up with Simone Biles to discuss mental health, the pressure to succeed, and her experience at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
she is not precise, tight, or clean, and never has been. she is simply jealous that gymnasts who prioritize mental health have done far better than her in competition
i am of the opinion that all three gymnasts should be awarded bronze medals. and if the FIG wanted to spare the embarrassment of 5/8 gymnasts in a final medaling, they shouldnt have committed such obvious judging errors.
it’s amazing to think about how many little kids are going to fall head over heels with gymnastics over the next week (: someone’s olympic journey starts here
imagine being 16 and randomly getting 6th at nationals and being like yippee i’m going to my first trials, this will be awesome experience for 2028!!! and then go on to MAKE THE TEAM.
maggie nichols has such fucking admirable strength and courage. the pure class it takes to stand there and congratulate your friends of an olympic spot you were wrongfully never even considered for is incredible. she deserved every bit of joy and success ncaa was able to give her
i’ve been trying for 3 straight seasons to ignore overscoring and just try to enjoy the gymnastics, because i don’t like associating anger with something i love so much, but this is my breaking point. what the fuck.
i feel truly sorry for the utah gymnasts who immediately defended their coach at the expense of their teammates, and hope they seek the help they need to correct those habits and heal from their own trauma
> spend 500$ on trials tickets
> skye injured in podium training
> shi injured in warmups
> kayla injured on first routine of the meet
> leanne 13.1 floor
> josc cheng gets outscored by leanne
> furry in arena
THIS is why we need one touch warmups. she was inches away from paralyzing or even killing herself.
@gymnastics
continues to disregard its athlete’s safety.
i’ve said it 8 bajillion times and i’ll say it again. ncaa NEEDS event finals to ensure fair comparative judging so that event titles are earned based on routine quality, not what session of semifinals they’re in 🙃
i keep forgetting that ncaa gymnasts are also actual students at my school. bc i see one and i think “wait why are you here” and then i remember they’re also degree seeking university of minnesota students
ucla’s popularity is owed to the black gymnasts who’s routines went viral, and now they have to risk all that they have accomplished just to speak up. it’s horrific
