Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Found the NBC front angles of Suni TF & AA dismounts. Can't find QF cause NBC deleted their daytime/ET coverage & only have international feed, but iirc it was basically the same as TF- off to the side & out of line with the beam, but better form, rotation, and landing. Her AA dismount is actually extremely interesting. One foot actually IS IN LINE with the beam so this shouldn't get downgraded to the side variant. However one leg is clearly TUCKED. And she is still twisting into the ground and UNDERROTATED.
So QF/TF should have been credited as a LAYOUT Gainer FULL off the SIDE of the beam (B), but AA should have been credited as a TUCKED Gainer HALF off the END of the beam (doesn't exist in the code of points, but I think would be B like gainer tuck or pike at the end of the beam).
But wow welcome back Maria Paseka and Shawn Johnson Amanars getting reincarnated into Suni's starfish gainer pucked 3/4 off the end of the beam! Also judges are extremely harsh on rotation even if they aren't on alignment/layout position so idk how this got credit even more now, especially when Kinsella and OYS triple twists on floor got downgraded.
Also at this point we have to accept that Suni's "Steingruber" is as bad as Shallon's "Cheng" cause it's completely unrecognizable & she's creating her own random skills/variants. It sucks cause I thought it was better at the domestic meets unless they just never had front angle.
I feel like the judges are going to keep crediting her dismount the entire Olympics, but then will eventually release a help desk where they say her dismount should actually be downgraded. Like when ZQY Yurchenko Loop got counted as fall, but then FIG released a help desk saying it shouldn't have counted as a fall.
So I'm pretty new to the gymternet and I've been wondering: where did the nickname 'Beefarm' for Paseka come from? What's the backstory for that?
Paseka (with the stress on the first syllable) means apiary/beefarm in Russian. And her last name is Paséka (stress on 2nd). So machine translators always rendered her name as Maria Apiary/Beefarm in articles lol. It started all the way back in 2012
McKayla Maroney, Simone Biles, Cheng Fei, Rebeca Andrade, Aly Raisman, Shawn Johnson, Gabby Douglas, Jade Barbosa, Jordyn Wieber, Elizabeth Price, Maria Paseka, Jade Carey, MyKayla Skinner, Kyla Ross, Anna Pavlova, Jordan Chiles, Alicia Sacramone, Aliya Mustafina, Oksana Chusovitina, Giulia Steingruber.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
also technically not in competition BUT. that wtf moment when you find out Paseka is actually valuable somewhere besides vault. arguably the best gymnastics she has ever shown. incredible toe 1/1, every pirouette should look like that. girly can also drill a double front dismount like it’s nobody’s business.
I love Masha I really truly do but dear God in heaven W H Y is she returning to training when her back is held together by nothing but single-ply toilet paper and the lord's prayer? Someone protect this girl from herself 🥴
from what i understand her last surgery was a quite successful and she's held pretty secure with those screws idk but unlike you i do not love her and simply wish her vaulting would be a thing of the past :')
Zhenya was asked if she watched summer Olympics before and what victory inspired her the most and she said it was our Artistic Gymnastics Team Silver because she knows a lot of girls from the team and for them it was really a big achievement
