Aurelie's score was raised to 12.066, and if Canada does well on floor (high 38 score or so) they have a shot to make Team Final because France is absolutely melting down (it's been so hard to watch)

ahhh shoutout to Papa Yeo from Olly on the International stream, he was saying he doesn't know how he does the commentary for his own daughter

 

[Ichatdelune]

KBS is finally showing gymnastics and Olly is talking about Mr. Hongchul commentating aww

Re: Daddy Yeo's commentary: quite calm and collected in general, but he will scream if his daughter hits

As he should

 

[Ichatdelune]

As he should

I remember Tokyo fondly, me and him trying to scream louder than the other after Seojeong landed her first vault

Cripes camera don't do a closeup on MDJDS when she's in tears my heart cannot deal with it

OK... Seems like the vault and bars really helped Canada.. because so far, they are in 5th place and should be qualified ... YAY !

 

[Ichatdelune]

Daddy Yeo's hot take: there should be three vaults for finals, handspring/roundoff/Tsukahara each

Messrs. Hongchul and announcer need to learn how to pronounce Rebeca Andrade properly, seriously you're going to say her name a lot so do it correctly

I'm currently dying right now (my fencing crush is one match away from his long due individual gold medal) but I need a place to write one of my manifestations, which is RHYS MCCLENAGHAN POMMEL HORSE GOLD MEDALIST PLEASE

Edit: My fencing crush delivered (sob) and now all I need are medals for my beloved gymnasts, Rhys's had better be gold but others I can live with less

We'll have to have a friendly rivalry here - I'm all for Stephen Nedoroscik GOLD on horse.

I know pommels are men's beam and anything can happen but I assume that the podium will be a combination of IRL-USA-GBR, we'll see in what order. Also it'd be lovely if Woong gets a good score by the way

The muscles on these gymnasts are extraordinary. Wow. Maybe I just haven't watched gymnastics for a long time. I'd love to know what kind of diet they have to achieve and maintain these builds for many years. Almost no body fat how do they control it for so long? With all this muscle they seem to avoid injury as well. They're incredible.

 

[reneerose]

I hope Simone's calf and foot hold up. Don't wanna see her get injured trying to get Gold again.

Oh, you sweet summer child... I wish they did, I really do
A lot of muscle or no muscle - ACLs tear either way

Pretty much every meet, a gymnast gets injured mid-competition, either in MAG or WAG. I've seen a lot of ACL and ligament tears, but also injured ankles or feet, broken legs, concussions... Even here, there was a Mexican gymnast who reaggravated an injury and had to be carried off the mat and Elisa Iorio for Italy suffered a sprain during QF and will be out most of the Team Final, and that's just what we know about. Gymnasts are insanely strong and incredible athletes, but they deal with so many injuries, both minor and major. They're just really good at hiding it and acting like everything is fine.

I have three screens on at the moment but let's see how the men's TF goes

@figureskatingandrainbows Niji your son(?) is on fire
