Bárbara's best event is ribbon, so it's now between Rut and Bárbara. Oh I remember her ribbon routine. She’s very elegant and has a great energy. Let’s see what happens. I just won’t listen any other rude remarks from the comentator like the one he did during men’s trampoline final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even cursed at some point, which is something that is taboo in any professional coverage in sports in Brazil. Terrible commentator. I really don't remember what he said, or most probably I just lowered the volume so I didn't have to listen to him, but I apologize in advance for his behavior.

All through the coverage he has been rather annoying and at some points plain unprofessional, unlike his partners, who have made insightful comments, the women in particular. The only comment I liked from him was when he mentioned you yesterday He basically said he wished Gluckstein to fail his routine so just one of your gymnasts could obtain bronze. At least this time, he was more respectful and declared he expected the odds were in Brazil’s favor during the Mexican gymnasts performance. Still nothing worse than the Chilean & Argentinian women narrating for Panam Sports spanish broadcast. Those are dumber than Patrick Star thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrv86 2,939 Posted June 12, 2021 #14 Share Posted June 12, 2021 After a 14 year wait, Ruth Castillo will make the debut of her country in Rhythmic Gumnastics. I’m sorry for Barbara Domingos, but I’m glad the oldest rhythmic gymnast still around will go to Tokyo hckošice, thiago_simoes and RiSeGwangFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes for your group in Tokyo. Thank you! Prior to the beginning of the event, I thought Brazil would qualify an individual and Mexico would qualify the group. Then Rut Castillo had the best competition of her life and the Mexican group did not qualify -- even though their level is still fantastic -- and everything I thought I knew about gymnastics is a lie now. I seriously hope the Mexican group doesn't feel discouraged by this result. This is one of the best groups in the world, period. I think that the five balls routine is still not as mature as it could have been, and it hurt the group's chances a little bit, but as the (very unprofessional) Brazilian commentator mentioned, 2024 will be this group's time to shine. Also, I hope Mexicans realize how monumental it is for Mexico to qualify in rhythmic gymnastics for the very first time. Brazil has never qualified an individual, at least not in the "true" sense. All of our individual performances at the Olympics resulted from invitations. Also, it is also a huge achievement not to qualify through a naturalized individual. Of course, it's okay to qualify through someone who went through the process of naturalization. I'm not judging this. But qualifying an individual born and raised in Mexico, who trained in Mexico, in this sport, is absolutely incredible. Kudos to Mexico and to Rut Castillo!
