Very happy for Mustafina, she won the bronze as predicted. I hope that Biles will win all the golds and then retire afterwards. I know this is somehow normal in artistic gymnastics, but i just cant watch women looking like 10 year olds doing sport.

Biles GOLD, Raisman SILVER. What a competition for them!!

 

Thank you again

 

 

Can someone help our men be that good?? damn!

I think mens artistic gymnastics is much more competitve, so it should be difficult to become equally dominant on the mens side. In addition to that you need different strengths in mens artistic gymnastics, so you cant just copy the training methods.

More details coming up about Van Gelder..

Apparently it was his coach who had a big role in him leaving the team. "I've been there for Yuri for 10 years, supported him for 10 years, always wanted nothing but the best for him for 10 years and that has not changed a bit now. I would have wanted nothing more than lifting him up in the rings next week for the routine of his life, but not at the cost of everything."

 

Also, people are angry at our NOC for sending him home, but it looks like they did him a huge favour. According to some rumours, our NOC decided not to have Van Gelder tested for recreational drugs after his night out in the local nightlife, which could lead to huge legal problems for him and a possible future with his Brazilian girlfriend.. (I don't know the legal details though) 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
