Yeah, I'm not looking forward to what happens next because so many people are getting hurt now. But I am looking forward to poring over the CAS judgement.

Also is nobody gonna talk about how they reviewed the routine for ~45 seconds when they were (allegedly) supposed to watch the whole thing from start to finish and the gogean happens after the 1 minute mark

Post-Olympics, I want to catch up on Worlds this quad I missed. What should I watch from 2021-2024?

Honestly I love how we’re all getting old on here together and still blogging about the Olympics. It was fun when I was 15 too, but I’ve been following the same people on here for years, and now some of y’all own houses and have kids, some have moved around the world, changed careers, dropped out of school, entered and ended relationships. We’ve all got so much going on in our lives and yet we’re all still here watching gymnastics together.

Simone’s calf also seems like it was about to give out on her

First and foremost, I'm glad she's alright and appears to have finished the Games (and her entire career to date) relatively unimpeded by injury.

And now let's be real - even when Simone has had two wholly working legs she's had trouble staying within bounds at times. This time a competitor was close enough behind to take advantage. In my view Rebeca's eventual success has been a long time coming and I'm glad it's happened once during the overlap of their careers.

tbf the last competitor is entitled to enquire and Jordan's team clearly did it immediately

Also what the fuck were they doing not finishing inquiries before putting up the next score?!

[mnesiptolema]

It finally happened. What a contest. Andrade has been so close behind Biles for so long that I'm glad execution has pipped difficulty at the final post.

[mnesiptolema]

bit of an eff you to the judges from Simone with this salute lmao

[mnesiptolema]

Not a huge fan of Alice D'Amato's gymnastics but it's so lovely when people have newfound success. What an unbelievable Games for her

[mnesiptolema]

the fact that Alice is laughing makes me feel better about laughing with her too

[mnesiptolema]

I'm laughing uncontrollably that was so weird
