I know that it shouldn't matter the story of the gymnast, but see someone from a nation with poor sports infrastructure, who really suffered  to attend the competitions, risking and presenting a very complicated  Vault, risking their own health. It is for me the most beautiful thing.... breaking barriers. That's why I'm always going to be supporting Yami or Paseka. Obviusly it's better to see someone like Rebeca Andrade with beautiful vaults (I think she'll get Silver medal in World Championships and  the Gold in PAN AM games).

I understand why you support Yamilet Peña. I also cheered for her and I always cheer for India and even Iran (even though I have a million reasons to dislike their government) whenever gymnasts from these nations compete. But Paseka comes from Russia, which in my opinion is THE place for gymnastics in the world, and she's clearly a favorite of Rodionenko, so I'm not really impressed when she throws huge difficulty (and when she's forgiven by Rodionenko when she doesn't perform too well). I know nothing about her story, though.

Now, we have a long way until the World Championships but I really hope gymnasts start throwing more difficult vaults, or else Paseka is going to get away with poor execution every single time she performs the Cheng. As far as I know, Andrade is not training a second vault and she probably will not upgrade her first vault to an Amanar this year. I hope I'm proven wrong, though, but I'm hopeless for anything but an all-around medal for her (and, even so, not that hopeful, lol).

Valentina is a bad person. I want her to retire soon. She always has a hurtful statement for every occasion. She doesn't respect the rivals, not even the Russian gymnasts.

I don't think Masha is ValRo's favorite, she's only there because of the difficulty of her vaults, when even throwing the TTY is no longer a guarantee of a medal,

then she's going to take it away from the Russian team forever. As happened with gymnasts like Nabieva (Just to give an example).

 

I also think that the Russian team should do better, well with good infrastructure, good coaches ... but as long as ValRo exists, none of that will do much good. She causes a lot of psychological violence in Russian girls. 

 

I also hope to see more difficulty. Although I understand that many girls and their coaches don't want to take risks and eventually get injured because the goal is qualification to the Olympic Games. I want Yeo to be performed, SeoJeong has a lot of chances with that new Vault.

Really? I thought that Barbosa's triumph in Cottbus would give his coaches a lot of confidence so that he already competes as a specialist, she's really better than almost all the VT specialists I've seen on the entire quad. On YouTube I read a comment where they claimed that she would be even increasing her difficulty in VT.

I saw her very strong in her last international competition, she no longer has a weak event. Rebeca has everything to shine like a Super Star in Stuttgart.

Oh, this is and old peeve of mine. I don't like her antiquate mind and the way she treats the gymnasts, but this could be a problem with Russian coaches in general, especially very old Russian coaches.

Again: I'm cautiously optimistic, but with Rebeca you never know. She is the unluckiest gymnast I've seen. She always gets injured right before Worlds. I hope she can keep her level of performance and stay healthy this year. I've heard rumors of a Cheng and an Amanar for her, but I really doubt this is part of the plan this year. Maybe in 2020.

Zonderland  

[dcro 10,210]

Silver 

 

It's quite clear that Srbić can't beat Zonderland when the Dutchmen goes clean. So, really, he should treat every silver medal like gold.
