2016 Rio: USA Women's Gymnastics Team Qual

[Layback11]

No, I can't.

Laurie just vaulted and my neighbor is cheering Massialis' opponent getting a hand injury.

Oh.

The somewhat violent-minded neighbor who said she wanted someone to die?

 

[invisiblespiral]

Oh.

The somewhat violent-minded neighbor who said she wanted someone to die?

Yes.

And now she has accepted that Massialis is going to lose.

My little pet peeve... why does these grown girls/women, want to wear sparkly little bows in their hair? Really? Figure skaters don't, so why do they? There are better things to put in your hair...

 

[Seruleane]

Biles makes everything look so easy!

Dear NBC,

If you MUST sign me out at random intervals for no reason, please do not subject me to eight million ads. It is quite disruptive to my live-blogging.

The same reason skaters wear costumes with bare backs and crystals, I guess.

I don't mind sparkly stuff but what really bothers me is the design or the chosen colours. I never get the obsession of USA girls with the uber bubbly pink leotard or the over-patriotic flag ones. Like blegh.

We just got Celine Van Gerner's beam. (I still want to see Eythora.)

I am surprised that she didn't fall off.

 

[MalAssada]

Coolest turns ever.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Sanne!

(I want to see her do the Li Li.)

 

[Layback11]

Beautiful routine from Sanne!

I don't mind sparkles, I follow skating lol, but it's the bows I don't get. I think it's also the contrast. These super hard muscular bodies and then cute little girl bows on top... figure skating outfits look good...

 

[Layback11]

RAISMANAR!

Ooh, Sanne's submitted an inquiry...she already got a 15.066. If it's accepted, that'd be a huge score.

I saw half of Raisman on bars and really wish that Brazil-feed was showing Netherlands on floor.

Her requirement was denied, I'm pretty sure.

 

[ioanablabla]

Who the beep directs this thing? They show me nobody when gymnasts are on the apparatus grrrrr frustrating

 

[Layback11]

Her requirement was denied, I'm pretty sure.

It was.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Dear sportv: I'd rather see Netherlands on floor than random people standing around.

 

[Layback11]

Lieke's floor is forever my favorite <3
