umm... hard to say, she had an incredible jump in team final, and equally impressive in the first jump in the final.... but she fell on the second..... she probably deserved the silver just for the first jump but she in no way deserved a gold.....

 

anyway maroney kind of went insane after, if you want check out a podcast where she talks candidly about usa gymnastics and all that, GymCastic podcast episode 187, it was right after she announced she wont be going after a rio spot

Douglas only made 1 final, 3rd currently in Uneven Bars

Sorry, i dont quite get what you want to tell me ... ?

Is it about Douglas not making all around final? I am sad for her, but she was just too bad on floor to beat Raisman.

Also looks like after everything that our officials try to do for gabby she still didnt make the all around final and it will be simone and ally!

I still dont get why officials should have preferred Douglas. In my opinion it wouldve been best to allow everyone to make the all-around and then the best will qualify anyway. Its the same with the german team. If Schäfer and Alt wouldve been allowed to do the all-around, they probably wouldve made the final instead of Seitz and Scheder.

I have to say that i am really sad for Schäfer, she was very close to make 2 individual finals (floor and beam) + she was "robbed" of the individual all-around final.

It was a joke that McKayla Maroney got silver and not gold. Get a grip, dude.

Ok ... dude ... if you say so then it must be true.

I guess they should have given her the gold even before the competition started? Its really an insult that other gymnasts even dare to compete against the american gymnasts.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
