Special shout-out to Morgan Hurd for proving to all the glasses wearing athletes out there that glasses are NOT an obstacle. And you don’t have to feel pressure to spend heaps of money on contacts if you don’t want to! ❤️❤️❤️🏅

Just a reminder that Aiko Sugihara did an entire floor routine with a tissue stuffed in her nose to stop a nose bleed and did well enough in it to be the first alternate to floor finals.

So I totally agree we need to cancel Worlds after 5 million injuries this evening, but I MET THE QUEEN!!! Also met Nile Wilson, Max Whitlock, Arthur Nory, Oleg Verniaiev, Shallon Olsen, Amy Tinkler & Jorge Vega Lopez who was a total cinnamon roll and I want him to make vault finals! (He's in 6th right now so fingers crossed!)

more thoughts on the arena
okay so here’s how i’m feeling - ASIDE FROM the lighting being a safety issue
part of the appeal of a major championships for me is seeing how the organizers decide to set up the arena
this worlds feels anticlimactic because it’s just essentially a repeat of glasgow
besides there being less pink
and it is really shitty cause normally, when you look back on a worlds, you get a certain feeling just from seeing that unique arena again
it just feels like we’re watching a worse version of glasgow and it’s like okay i’ve seen this before
there is nothing unique to montreal about this worlds essentially
ALSO
not being able to see the audience AT ALL it so shitty
it makes the arena feel empty and almost... sterile in a way?
like remember at euros when we saw the romanian fans basically praying before cata’s beam dismount?????
part of the fun of a major worlds is SEEING THE FANS THERE, the ones who bring flags and make signs and dress up and give standing ovations
but with an arena this dark that is all taken away and we are left with emptiness
so that’s how i feel about that
