Nikolova loses everything due to a very unfortunate error in the hoop, it went completely off her foot, it always hurts to see her in tears

She would still be second even without that error, the difference was too much.

I'm sorry but where exactly did you see that? Nikolova was by far one of the most loved gymnasts here by fans and the media.

After the frist routine at kriss and cry I was very surprised, because the Brazilian public seemed to me to be competent and very close to the athletes, even the lesser known ones

Honestly, when I wrote the post I thought she couldn't defend the silver, then Sofia did a few too many little dirts

Nikolova is the same age as the German and a little younger than Raffaelli but in the photo next to them she looks like an 8-9-year-old child...

I rewatched this moment and I still can't see it, just some mild reaction after the score (maybe they didn't like her score?). The reaction after her routine was huge.

routine had enormous potential. Unfortunately, their performance was truly disastrous

One big difference between the group and the individual results for the long run  is that starting in 2026 and all the way to LA the apparatus will be 5 -balls 3-hoops 2-clubs what force every team to do a whole different routines and what can explain why it seems that some of the “major” usual contenders didn’t really preform well in the WCh

Ukraine won our first gold from 2002 in groups, what a surprise on our Independence Day 

However, artistry score is undeservingly low, but who cares when we still at the first place after couple of 4th places from Taya

I don't really follow this sport, but from what little I've seen, it seems to be very controversial.

I think that's normal in any sport with judges, but here it seems somehow intensified.
