I kind of like this routine. A shout out to my second hometown favorite band, Bel, Biv, Devoe ( Sorry BBD but I’m am Aerosmith girl at heart but you and New Edition are a close second) though I’m not sure, ” But I know she’s a loser (How do you know?) Me and the crew used to do her and Keepin one eye open, still clockin’ the hoes is appropriate music for a floor routine.
Okay I decided to start a new twitter just for this blog. It will again be private. Just send me an e-mail if you want to follow it gymtruthteller@gmail.com. You can find it here This e-mail is for twitter only. The other email is for anything else ( the_real_gymtruthteller@yahoo.com)
I’ve gotten multiple complaints about not being able to discuss Nassar and his victims so I’m giving you one place to discuss ANYTHING related to it. So here you go, The Larry Nassar Situation. You have to be approved already to post and I won’t be reading so keep it civil….
Now back to, When I dial my babies number I get a click every time, MR Telephone man…….
5.9 start value with 8.1 in deductions. (My math is a 14.00) I know they are usually critical in China but this is some bull shit low balling. Besides the dismount it was amazing.
Who knows the first songs name ? I like it.. ( That looks like Chow in this video too) I find it hilarious that I had to go to China to hear an American song for the first time. Not only that it’s 4 years old.

Trinity Thomas who IMO is one of the cleaner gymnasts we have was murdered by the judges at the Tokyo Cup ( Chellse Memmel was a judge) but she’s still better than all of us combined:) Video one, Video two….
Trinity Thomas on Floor If you look to the right there are more videos…
Russia won the team event at Jesolo with Brazil second and Italy third followed by China and Romania. NaziFloGym owns rights so don’t expect videos to stay up if you find them.

I have been attempting to write this blog for days. It’s not possible to write it without offending someone because chances are my opinion will always be the one opinion someone will take offense with and frankly I’m sick of writing on egg shells so here it goes.
I’m sorry these girls were abused. I’m sorry this all happened. I’m extremely sorry so many parents couldn’t see the warning signs that their kids were being abused to the point they were throwing their heads against bathtub’s just to avoid going to camps. I’m sorry so many adults saw the warning signs and either didn’t care enough to notice or they chose to ignore it because they cared more about their children or gymnast becoming famous then their well being. I’m sorry it all happened but you know what my sorry doesn’t mean jack shit because it happened and no one can change what these girls went through. It will never be over because the lasting effects of abuse stay with you, forever. The best you can hope for is to be able to live with what happened to you and survive it.
That being said there are plenty of places to discuss the subject but the witch hunt will not continue at this blog. If you want to blame Nastia for defending her father take it to the former gossip capital of the world. Their hypocrisy is well known if you do a little digging… If you want to harass Terin Humphrey for using her brain and not discussing the case she might have to testify about in a court of law, try one of the gymnastics Magazine’s message boards where the woman in charge of the board is friendly with those same hypocrites. This place is done with the subject.
This blog will be staying up for a few days so if your have any thoughts on the subject get it out of your system now. This will be the last blog where the subject can be discussed. I’m sure many of you have issues with this and as usual feel free to be honest about it. For me personally I want this blog to go back to the subject of gymnastics.

My only coverage of Worlds or Olympics in the year 2018 is going to consist of this blog titled, Wakaba Higuchi was robbed. I much prefer this Skate to the winner but per usual no one will say a word because North America sticks together. I know she fell in the SP but she still should have won the LP and since she didn’t I am calling the fix is in.
The US lost their 3rd spot thanks to Mirai Nagasu and Mariah Bell even though neither was particularly hideous they were just out skated. No triple Axel by Mirai. I will never understand how judges can give negative GOE and positive on the same jump. How does one judge see it as good and the rest see it as bad? Mirai’s triple flip, triple toe was under- rotated on the toe yet judge 6 gave her a plus 1. Whatever judges.
Alina Zagitova showed up to Worlds after winning the Olympics which is more than any other Gold medalist has done in the last 10 Olympics that I can remember (ladies wise) but what a disaster for her. I still say Medvedeva should have won the Olympics but as far as Gold medalists go, Zag is at least watchable.
I thought Satoko Miyahara should have won bronze at the Olympics so I am glad she placed third here. It’s nice seeing two Japanese girls on the podium for once because they usually get screwed.
Bradie stood up her LP. Props to her and I did laugh at her getting better PCS then Mirai after all those whiner Nagasu fans insisted the Olympic and World judges would show her when it mattered. Yep. Didn’t happen that way.
And I still don’t think Carolina Kostner is any where as great as the world claims she is so I am always fine with her choking:)
I’m glad the Shib Sibs stayed home because I literally have no interest in Dance at all and I will NEVER understand what the hell it is is so great about Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue who I find slow and boring.
As for the men if they want to turn this sport into a jumping showcase they can keep it. PLEASE Shoma Ono. Show up tomorrow and show the ISU what real skating should be.
Bars looked beautiful. Killer handstands, beautiful lines. Great form. 5.3 + 8.35 = 13.65 score. Her beam was in the 11’s but even with the usual strict judging so far I thought this was semi low. If she had hit the dismount most it would have been was low to middle 12.
I was ready to call her out on another performance she didn’t do her job (which she technically didn’t) but besides the falls I thought she looked good. That was the best beam routine we have seen from her in forever and her bars looked great til she fell. With the exception of her first handstand she was hitting them all. Maybe someday she will become consistent though at this point I doubt it. I wonder why she didn’t do the Amanar.
Who can explain to me Melinikova even getting close to the same execution score Chiles received on Vault? Someone tell Seitz that in 2018 there is no excuse for doing a Yurchenko full. Watching Voss and seeing her scores reminded me of the US and the Scam Cup. Hey we almost made it through an entire competition with out a wolf spin on beam ( damn you Melnikova) She had such a good routine going til the fall then she fell apart. I fell asleep during this Beampocalypse I had to go back and watch again. I love we are getting real beam mounts. Yep time for a scam cup score for Seitz on beam. Chellsie Memmel moved to the Netherlands and changed her name to Tisha. Melnikova getting a 13 with that floor was interesting. If she had not tumbled forward 6 times that might have been in the 14’s. Voss would have won if she didn’t fall on floor.lol Yeah, okay. I can’t believe I sat through this whole thing. Someone tell the boy sitting next to Elisabeth’s mom he’s a rude SOB sitting on the top of that chair. The lady behind can’t see.
I am not usually an Alabama hater but some of their Floor scores rival the overscoring Florida gets every meet. Kiana got her College retiring gift early.
