Is it a conflict of interest to have Gabby’s ex-coach judging her at the American Classic?. Gabby called Kittia up and asked for her advice on bar construction a few months ago. And now she’s judging her routine at this most recent meet. Of course, no one cares.

Watch this routine by Zhou Yaqin from Chinese Nationals. Her execution score was 8.226 (Start value 7.2) Then I want you to watch Jade Carey and Gabby Douglas on beam from the most recent US Classic. And you wonder why as a fan I get so frustrated with this sport. I know the more you compete the more deductions but for Jade to get 8.050 in execution and Gabby 7.550 with nearly falling twice, it’s just like COME ON. Someone sent me this list of the judges.
By the way, the beam judges were Aimee Boorman, Shari Mann, Maria DeCristoforo, and Sylvia Topolova. Floor judges were Pat Panichas, Kittia Carpenter, Liz Crandell, and Pam Evans. On bars, the judges were Silvia Brestyan, Yazaira Cabrera-Davilla, Chelsea Davis, and Amy Young, and on Vault the judges were Anna Li, Loana Cruz, Ashley Johnson, and Amanda Stroud. Bolded names are ex-gymnasts I know, and Ex coaches we all know, including Gabby’s ex-coach (Kittia)
ALL I want when watching this sport are judges who do their jobs and it’s clear the beam judges didn’t. Neither did the Bars (two falls) or Floor. I am fine with her vault score. At Classica and Olympic trials I will be taking pictures of the judges.

Thanks! Stream here, beginning with quals on May 2nd. It is free after registration, at least in Europe.

I have tried in the past. That never works for me.
April 29, 2024 at 7:12 PM
I don’t know if they will stream it on the Spanish National channel. Maybe in the webpage, because on the main channel is Madrid Open (tennis) and damn Nadal and Alcaraz take precedence. I have seen in the webpage they will put the finals on TV and 2.00 in the morning. But RTVE webpage with geographical blockers should be available for you. No channel in USA is streaming the Europeans? Or a channel on YouTube?
By the way, dobleenplancha has an entry with all the participants. Spain is sending our A team with Ana Pérez, Laura Casabuena and Alba Petisco. France is sending their A team too except for Melanie.

April 29, 2024 at 7:08 PM |
And now I need your opinion on the beam judges.
April 29, 2024 at 7:13 PM
Which ones? Yours (meaning, USA judges) or normal ones?
April 29, 2024 at 8:31 PM
Both really because look at the Chinese girl and then look at jade and especially gabby and tell me where is the fairness ???
April 29, 2024 at 7:14 PM
No USA or Russia in Europeans, and GB is on shambles, so I am a little curious about which team will be the favourite for European judges this time. The safest best is Italy (they are playing at home), but Italian judges at Serie A are very…eccentric, so you never know.
April 29, 2024 at 8:32 PM
No Russia equals ASTERISK
April 29, 2024 at 7:17 PM
By the way, the Netherlands is sending a new gymnasts named Floor Slooff. Nice kid. And completely new team for Germany.
April 29, 2024 at 11:27 PM |
Gabby still twist really early onto the table just like she did with her Amanar (Shawn did as well). It makes her Vault kind of low and not as neat.
April 30, 2024 at 8:49 AM |
Lilia Cosman looks sharp at PT!
April 30, 2024 at 5:00 PM |
Leanne is training a Moors on floor. I wonder if this means this would replace the double double ( I would hope she would do both)
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6ZBWcQO5vy/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D
Amelie Morgan has decided not to try for the Olympics.
April 30, 2024 at 8:50 PM |
Probably in replace of it, but I hope not.
April 30, 2024 at 8:35 PM |
Amelie Morgan gave GB the middle finger. GB is so fucked. It seems less a matter of injuries and more like that federation is full of assholes, and a full grown adult doesn’t need to take shit from anybody.
April 30, 2024 at 8:50 PM |
She knew there was no shot at a medal. No need to come back.
May 1, 2024 at 5:53 AM
A lots of federations and gymnasts know that they don’t have a chance at medals (unless there is a general meltdown), but being an Olympian forever is usually pretty important. For her not wanting to endure just a few more months with the British Federation for being for sure an Olympian, in an Olympics in her own continent, and for the British Federation, given their poor state, not going into their knees to beg her to stay, is really weird. GB is in no state to be picky.
May 1, 2024 at 6:18 AM
She already is an Olympian and a medalist and with that she has a legacy . She doesn’t want the ruin it just to be one again . Shes not exactly a medal threat individually .
May 1, 2024 at 6:20 AM
It is GB the one who has the problem, not her. She simply gave them the middle finger, something for which she most probably has a good reason. GB is a federation that have very bad press in general.
May 1, 2024 at 6:54 AM |
No, Mara, no!
May 1, 2024 at 9:30 AM |
As is the life of gymnasts I like to watch . I hope she’s okay and gets to compete .
May 1, 2024 at 8:29 AM |
Seems like Casella is doing his Casella things again, taking Andreoli out the possibility of doing AA. Iorio has to be in the UB line up because they had taken her only for that (I mean, she can do a good AA, but the others AAers of the team are better, so she has been taken especially for the UB), but Asia has less potential AA score than Andreoli, and UB are not her best even (vault/floor especialist, after all), so it doesn’t make any sense to take Andreoli out of the AA game and keep Asia, when Andreoli can potentially do better, and she will probably be the two-per countried person for the AA in favour of Alice and Manila, that are AAers.
May 1, 2024 at 8:29 AM |
May 1, 2024 at 8:36 AM
Iorio will probably be the one that is going to be sacrified for the Olympic team if Martina is well enough to earn a spot. The problem will arise if Giorgia is well, as she is one of the favourites who was cheated out of Tokyo because Cassella is an idiot. Italy is not going to get any of the D’Amato twins out. Manila and Martina are considered very reliable and who counted a lot for the team in bad moments. The decisions will be between Andreoli, considered very promissing and with a great potential, but with quarrels with the federations since her team as a junior and considered less stable than her teammates, and Giorgia, who is a favourite, but it is a beam/UB especialist (she can do floor as well, but her teammates have higher start value) and who would have roughly the same chances as Andreoli to be on beam final.
May 1, 2024 at 9:14 AM |
WITH AN OLYMPICS LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AWAY, WITHDRAW HER, DON’T LET HER DO FLOOR EITHER YOU SICKOS! And get a real doctor, for fuck’s sake. This kinesiotherapy bullshit would explain a lot of things regarding injuries and the Romanian Federation.
May 1, 2024 at 9:46 AM |
I don’t even know what to say
May 1, 2024 at 10:14 AM
Give the middle finger to the Romanian Federation is always a good answer.
May 1, 2024 at 7:54 PM |
Someone posted on Twitter the list of people currently included in the British national team. You have to take off the Gadirovas and Ondine because injuries, and Amelie because she is not trying for the Olympics, so
GB only really has Kinsella, Ruby Evans, Becky Downie (who is a especialist and can’t do AA), Abigail Martin and Poppy. The scores lower a lot with the rest. GB is very, very fucked.
May 2, 2024 at 7:02 PM |
Isn’t Poppy out with an injury?
May 2, 2024 at 8:13 PM
I looked for some information and you are right, she is injuried. She broke her L5 and her hip (Ouch) on January, so she must still be out.
May 2, 2024 at 4:07 AM |
Good morning, fellas! Happy quals day! I am trying to follow as much as I can, but the web is divided by events and it doesn’t follow an specific team, so I will do my best.
May 2, 2024 at 4:12 AM |
I need a gymnastics spotify. I spent more time than I am willing to recognize remembering that the music I was hearing came from the song of “Abba”, “Money, money, money”.
May 2, 2024 at 4:19 AM |
Spain on UB in the next rotation! I think I will stay in this stream for a little while…
May 2, 2024 at 4:20 AM |
We don’t wear a horrible outfit! I am so surprised, our outfits are usually very horrible! So glad.
May 2, 2024 at 4:26 AM |
The advertisments in this plataform are a nightmare. I missed Laura because of advertisments, but Ana Pérez did very well. Glad to see her on and about after her injury.
May 2, 2024 at 4:29 AM |
13.066 for Ana. Alba Petisco next.
May 2, 2024 at 4:35 AM |
Very nice routine for Alba. A very little problem in the middle, but she controlled it very well and finished without further issues. More difficulty than the last time I saw her compete.
May 2, 2024 at 4:36 AM |
Will I need to watch the finals in this shitty stream the next few days because the fucking Spanish National television is kissing the fucking rich’s asses at Madrid Open?
May 2, 2024 at 5:42 AM |
I found the correct hashtag on Twitter, Thank God. It is #Rimini2024. It works better than that awful stream. It seems that Nina fell on beam and UB.
May 2, 2024 at 5:58 AM |
People on Twitter saying that she will have a plus 6 routine on Paris because she still have a couple of months to go. One: this is not her return to elite. She has been competing at World Cups and she earned her spot on the Olympics through World Cups for beam, but she has been competing. If both her UB and beam are this shaky at this point, this isn’t something she is going to fix in two months. And also, UB is the most competitive event right now by far. You have people throwing high sixes and low sevens of difficulty like it was easy. If she hasn’t mastered a high difficulty routine less than three months before the Olympics, she will most probably be out of the final. Unless there is a general meltdown, of course.
May 2, 2024 at 5:47 AM |
13.166 for Alba Petisco on floor. Very regular on the low 13s this competition.
May 2, 2024 at 6:00 AM |
Vansteenkiste’s floor routine is very theatrical, I miss those kind of routines, they are very entertaining.
May 2, 2024 at 6:06 AM |
Juas, juas, the put a Kiss Cam and the public is like: I have self respect, I am not doing that. This kind of thing are vey alien for the European public. The young couples are doing it, but most of the rest are giving it the side eye or just waving. Fellas, that is an USA thing, we don’t do that here.
May 2, 2024 at 6:14 AM |
If they do that in Spain, better be prepared for some jokes of very dubious taste, that’s for sure. I still remember the horrible image of a football fan showing his nacked buttocks to a football players ready to try to score a goal. He failed, of course, after such horrid and traumatizing image. Nobody blamed him, of course.
May 2, 2024 at 6:26 AM |
Spain takes the lead after rotation 1, almost three points ahead of Belgium. The big federations are still to go.
May 2, 2024 at 6:26 AM |
Laura Casabuena didn’t compete on beam, which has me a little worried, but she competed in other events, and she seemed to be fine. If she is even a little injuried, reserve her, for God’s sake.
May 2, 2024 at 6:31 AM |
Alba Petisco leads subdivision 1 AA with 52.699.
May 2, 2024 at 6:44 AM |
I will stay on beam to watch Romania…
May 2, 2024 at 6:57 AM |
Lilia Cosman did very well, and still got a medium 7s, but Barbosu and Amalia both fell. Voinea didn’t fall, but had a huge break, so they are going to hit her badly with that. They gave a 14.10 with a 6.5 difficult score, but 7.6 of execution, without falls. Beam is going to be a massacre.
May 2, 2024 at 7:43 AM |
How did Mara do on floor ?
May 2, 2024 at 7:47 AM |
Never mind . They pulled Mara off floor . These scores for the descriptions seem very high . Now I remember why Romania annoyed me in the past.
May 2, 2024 at 8:14 AM
They pulled Mara off. I hope my sickos comment scared them off.
May 2, 2024 at 8:18 AM
Constant on middle sevens for mostly hit routines. But there were some connections I wouldn’t have awarded for a 6.5. Still dobious, though.
May 2, 2024 at 8:16 AM |
Barbosu fell on floor and beam, and downgraded second vault for Voinea.
May 2, 2024 at 8:21 AM |
Romania on UB. Lilia Cosman with a clean routine, even if it was not packed. Amalia did very good, with a stuck dismount and I appreciate the return of tik-tok legs (I understand it is a personal choice, but still). Very good so far for Romania.
May 2, 2024 at 8:25 AM |
They are making Sabrina wait a lot, a lot…
May 2, 2024 at 8:27 AM |
They gave Barbosu a 6.8 E score without a fall… I find it extremely low, but this camera is not the best to see UB, so I wonder what I missed.
May 2, 2024 at 8:38 AM |
Ah, I read she hit the floor…that is what I missed, the angle of the camera is not good to watch UB
May 2, 2024 at 8:29 AM |
Sabrina lost control in a part of her exercise, but did good otherwise. Some open legs that I could see, but no falls.
May 2, 2024 at 8:34 AM |
Spain is currently on third, after France and Romania. With Alba Petisco still on AA second place after all French and Romanian gymnasts, with only Sabrina Voinea ahead of her. Barbosu is two-per-countried by Lilia and Voinea.
May 2, 2024 at 8:55 AM |
Comments for GB’s fan saying that they are ready to see their team shut the people’s mouths…and here I am ready to see how they fall behind Spain. There is a say in Spain that any good Spaniard should pee in the direction of England. I am of that minset right now. .
May 2, 2024 at 9:46 AM |
Italy, GB and Ukraine are on the last subdivision. Not many interesting gymnasts on the third I am afraid, so I think I will wait out until the last one.
May 2, 2024 at 9:54 AM |
Thanks for all you do . You’re my Vice President 😉 Well, you’re a vice President, just not the useless one we have who slept her way to the top.
May 2, 2024 at 10:39 AM |
May 2, 2024 at 10:39 AM |
May 2, 2024 at 12:06 PM |
The.Fuck? They have even more problems that I suspected.
May 2, 2024 at 12:01 PM |
Last subdivision is about to start and Spain is still on third. Italy for sure will get ahead, but in the finals we only need to Romania or France to have a meltdown to medal!
May 2, 2024 at 12:04 PM |
I am this close to never buy a Germaine cream again just because of the advertisments, sending them to the horrible place in my memory where Oreos are, but this will be worse because they actually are amongs my favourite brands. But they are a pain in the ass.
May 2, 2024 at 2:45 PM |
Think about how skinny you will be 🙂
May 2, 2024 at 2:46 PM
They should begin to advertise Nesquick and Nestle chocolate, to see if I begin to hate them. That would help.
May 2, 2024 at 12:16 PM |
I think I will stay with GB, that begins on vault. Italy begins at the same time on beam, with Andreoli first (Casella is really mean, put the one you consider less stable first). You are a mean one, Mr. Cassella.
May 2, 2024 at 12:18 PM |
13.633 for Georgia Mae Fenton on vault (4.6 Dscore).
May 2, 2024 at 12:20 PM |
Kinsella got a 14.00 with a DTY.
May 2, 2024 at 12:23 PM |
Abigail Martin 13.8. No poblems with Ruby either. Good rotation on vault for GB, let’s see how Italy is doing on beam
May 2, 2024 at 12:23 PM |
I know I am Spanish, I don’t have moral authority to complain, but holy smokes do the Italian scream. They almost shattered my eardrums.
May 2, 2024 at 12:25 PM |
Hit routine for Andreoli and for Manila, that with 14.200 is one of the highest scores for beam of the meet.
May 2, 2024 at 12:26 PM |
People of the organization: D’Amato, A. isn’t clear enough. I think it was Asia, but not, sure.
May 2, 2024 at 12:27 PM |
13.233. Definitely Asia.
May 2, 2024 at 12:31 PM
Made an inquiry for Asia that was accepted. Score raised to 13.733 because of a no credited element.
May 2, 2024 at 2:49 PM |
Which twin got hurt and ho badly and on what?
May 2, 2024 at 3:12 PM
The one injuried is Asia, the same one who torn ACL on vault at Worlds. We don’t know how bad is it, but you usually avoid being carried away on a coach’s arms at your home country in front of your family if it is not necessary, so I would guess it is pretty bad.
May 2, 2024 at 12:30 PM |
Very good routine for Alice, very nice. Much better than last year.
May 2, 2024 at 12:32 PM |
Alice 13.766
May 2, 2024 at 2:50 PM
She had the perfect opportunity and still couldn’t capitalize.
May 2, 2024 at 12:32 PM |
May 2, 2024 at 2:44 PM |
SO happy she is getting some media attention because you know it helps making this team
May 2, 2024 at 7:04 PM
100% she could also make bows to match with all the Olympic leos!
May 2, 2024 at 9:03 PM
Those bows are $ 25 bucks. That is crazy. They were 12.50. Still glad she is having some success.
May 2, 2024 at 12:50 PM |
Ruby had some problems with the handstands, but good dismount.
May 2, 2024 at 12:52 PM |
Very good set for Georgia Mae Fenton. Manila’s music is on the background and she has part of the “Interview with a Vampyre” soundtrack at the beginning. Kudos, sister.
May 2, 2024 at 12:54 PM |
13.733 for her.
May 2, 2024 at 12:55 PM |
Nice routine for Kinsella, a little short on the dismount and big step, but otherwise good.
May 2, 2024 at 12:56 PM |
Oh, fuck, seems like Asia is injuried. Need more data.
May 2, 2024 at 12:57 PM |
I am watching someone blond being carried out in Italian’s coach’s arms. Dammit, can’t be true.
May 2, 2024 at 12:58 PM
May 2, 2024 at 12:58 PM |
I missed Becky Downie because I was preocuppied with Asia, but so far it seems that no problem.
May 2, 2024 at 1:01 PM |
Have to say that Cassella carrying Asia out in his arms despite him having all the years in the world and more has some kind of merit.
May 2, 2024 at 1:05 PM |
Reports of Cassella carying Asia out were widly exaggerated. It was the floor coach.
May 2, 2024 at 1:13 PM
No!!!!!!
May 2, 2024 at 1:19 PM
I read she was wheeled out of the arena. Alice was crying, but had to pull off because she was next on floor and they couldn’t put Iorio in so fast. And now she has to do vault and UB too.
May 2, 2024 at 1:02 PM |
14.500 for Becky Downie on UB.
May 2, 2024 at 1:03 PM |
13.400 for Andreoli on floor. After Asia’s injury, I suppose Andreoli will compete AA.
May 2, 2024 at 1:13 PM |
May 2, 2024 at 1:14 PM |
She’s posting the routines in this thread.
May 2, 2024 at 1:22 PM |
Good videos there. Stream is horrible and every time you refresh it there are at least three advertisments.
May 2, 2024 at 1:16 PM |
Good to see Marta Pihan still competing. Everyone uses to think about Chuso, but I hardly remember a year when I didn’t see Marta Pihan around.
May 2, 2024 at 1:23 PM |
Both Ruby and Georgia Mae off beam.
May 2, 2024 at 1:25 PM |
12.466 for Georgia.
May 2, 2024 at 1:28 PM |
Messy routine for Kinsella, but she didn’t fall. She had to put a hand to stop her wolf turn, but I doubt it is counted as a fall, it was not obvious enough.
May 2, 2024 at 1:31 PM |
Some breaks for Downie, but her routine was better than the ones by the rest of the team. That should tell GB something.
May 2, 2024 at 1:33 PM |
12.933. Kinsella has 12.80. I think none of GB beam routines was above 13.
May 2, 2024 at 1:47 PM |
I am happy to see on Twitter that my dislike for Casella is widely shared among the spanish/italian speakers of such social media.
May 2, 2024 at 1:53 PM |
12-833 for Georgia on beam and I think it is a little high.
May 2, 2024 at 1:56 PM |
13.233 for Abigail.
May 2, 2024 at 2:01 PM |
13.100 for Ruby, much better than the last time I saw her. Kinsella on.
May 2, 2024 at 2:08 PM |
Manila Exposito becomes the new European AA Champion, with Alice on second, and a very, very overscored Kinsella on third.
May 2, 2024 at 2:54 PM |
So there is no separate AA? Is there a separate Team?
May 2, 2024 at 3:13 PM
The Olympic year is Team Final year. Things got mixed with the delay of Tokyo, so they are trying to get back on track putting the AA and the quals at the same time. So separate Team Final this year.
May 2, 2024 at 3:25 PM
Got ya. Thanks
May 2, 2024 at 2:45 PM |
May 2, 2024 at 2:56 PM |
So Alice got third AA? I thought it said 4th? (2 per country?)
May 2, 2024 at 3:14 PM
Manila Exposito won gold, Alice d’Amato won silver, and Andreoli was third, but she was two per countried, so Alice Kinsella, overscored as hell, won bronze.
May 2, 2024 at 3:26 PM
Remember when I told you this would be the Italian National Championships 🙂
May 2, 2024 at 3:43 PM
Well, if people keep getting injuried…Andreoli might cletch the position, Martina would take Asia’s and probably Giorgia Iorio’s.
May 2, 2024 at 2:47 PM |
May 2, 2024 at 4:30 PM |
May 2, 2024 at 8:18 PM |
As a somewhat curious fact for you, my dear English-speaking friends, Manila’s surname is “Expósito” (Esposito). In Italian and Spanish, that was the surname given to the babies who were abandoned and the identities of their parents were unknown. The word is still used to talk about abandoned babies, especially those surrended to the government or given away to an orphanage. Although Manila’s parents are known, this surname probably means that one of her ancestors by a male line was abandoned.
May 3, 2024 at 12:36 AM |
You have all the respect in the world for Valeri, Konnor? Is that why you were liking tweets about being anywhere Liukin wasn’t? She’s such a liar.
https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/konnor-mcclain-finds-happiness-ahead-final-push-paris-olympics
May 3, 2024 at 8:10 AM |
This is Giulia Peretti, one of the young stars of Italy. If Casella doesn’t keep effing up, Italy has a great future.
May 3, 2024 at 10:36 AM |
Confirmed: torn ACL for Asia. She will miss the Olympics for sure.
May 3, 2024 at 10:57 AM |
That’s like. 3 in the last few months
May 3, 2024 at 12:43 PM
Many ACL torns, yes. The push in the last few months before the Olympics doesn’t help.
May 3, 2024 at 8:57 PM |
Tomorrow is event finals. Italians are weird and they always finish with team finals, so Saturday event finals, all the same day, and Sunday Team Final. Things begin at 16.25 Spanish and Italian hour.
May 3, 2024 at 9:05 PM |
That’s weird. Do they always do it this way?
May 3, 2024 at 9:11 PM
I am not sure if they always do it this way, but often enough that I wasn’t surprised when I read it, especially if there is no AA. Money-wise, is better, because people has more time on Saturday, and Team Finals are a better offer for a Sunday than EF.
May 3, 2024 at 9:35 PM
Please explain to me why the D’Amato sisters are scored so well when Manila and Angela are so much more enjoyable to watch? Manila I remember seeing before and it registering that she exists, but that is it, but at this meet everything I have seen so far is so much more watchable than D’Amato. I haven’t seen her beam yet, that is next but it just seems like she should be the star of this team. Now I can’t remember her beam but I think I remember being impressed with it. I’ll let you know.
And I am not the ignorant American gymnastics fan that only cares about the Americans but for some reason the Italians and French just leave my memory after watching them once and I think that is what happened to Manila because did she win beam at a major competition in the last year or 2? Maybe I am just getting old. lol
May 4, 2024 at 6:38 AM
Both are very young. Manila and Andreoli are both 2006 babies, so they have been only two years in the elite, whereas de d’Amatos and Giorgia are older and have been in the elite for more years. Manila is usually pretty well scored. Last year she got in both the European and World team, got silver on beam and she usually gets great scores at Serie A and other competitions, so she is pretty good. She is considered in only two years as one of the fundamental ones of the team and I don’t think she will left behind (without an injury, of course), for the Olympics. She is very good and pretty well scored.
Andreoli the problems she has is usually of consistency. She is capable of a lot of difficulty, but have problems to hit in competition completely. Most times is not that she falls or something flashy; she controls the elements pretty well, but she packs important deductions that make her exercises not be as well scored as they ideally would be. If she could hit very well consistently, she would be the best scored out of all the team, with the exception perhaps of Manila. She is pretty young, so they are fixable mistakes and they have already made new routines for her taking out some of the problems, like they are doing with Matina and UB, so she should be on the rise. The problems with Casella, as far as I have heard, steam from her time as a junior and for the problems with Casella and her parents, so Casella doesn’t like her very much, but he will call her if needed (as we have seen here). I hope that Andreoli gets better and have a great competition, so Casella can’t throw the consistency card around to eff with her. She was a star as a junior, very good, and I hope that with more experience she can thrive as a senior.
The French have been the same for a while. Take a look to their new UB worker, the recently turned senior Ming. That is art (if she didn’t change the exercise). The rest are our usual suspects, Coline, Boyer, Charpy and Morgane. I suppose that Ming will be the one sacrified for Olympics when Melanie comes back.
May 3, 2024 at 9:06 PM |
Here is an article on Lilia Cosman. She seems to think she is already on the Olympic team, so does her mother. Maybe Romania told them she was?

May 3, 2024 at 9:12 PM |
I would be extremely surprised if she wasn’t. I suppose the current Euros team will be Olympic team, unless someone gets injuried, of course. But I would say that Lilia, Ana and Sabrina are sure bets.
May 4, 2024 at 10:25 AM |
Apparatus finals are about to start. It is rumored that Andreoli is warming up on beam (she was two per countried) with Manila. No news about Alice, but she is training her 6.00 routine.
May 4, 2024 at 10:26 AM |
Oh, dammit, the female commentator for the Spanish National Channel is the idiot one. She was saying that she didn’t know if Ondine could get to the Olympic with an ACL tear. How the fuck are you going to be ready in two months with a recent ACL tear, lady?
May 4, 2024 at 10:27 AM |
Vault final. I think this is Colline’s to loose.
May 4, 2024 at 10:30 AM |
13.699 on average for Ming. The vault judges aren’t throwing 9s to everybody. What is this miracle?!
May 4, 2024 at 10:33 AM |
Very elegant Sarah Peter for Hungary, but low scoring vaults. Still, very, very clean. Nice, overall. She reminds me of Isabella Severino, who I loved. 13.033 on average.
May 4, 2024 at 10:36 AM |
Valentina Giorgeva is getting specialized on vault and she is the one who got a place on the Olympics through vault. Only seventeen, I expect to see more of her. Very powerful gymnast. 14.066 for her first vault. Very nice second vault, she should be on the podium despite her second vault being 4.4. 13.799 on average for her.
May 4, 2024 at 10:39 AM |
Marlene Gotthardt, fifteen years old, comes from the generational renovation of Germany. Huge jump in the reception, but she controls it. She seems so young…fuck, I am getting old. The second one is good, but very low scoring. Good for a first experience, though. 13.166
May 4, 2024 at 10:41 AM |
The Spanish Lady is making me nervous. “Lets see another gymnast…”. It is Ana Barbosu, if you don’t know who she is, it is a problem. And you are not going to watch a many more scoring vaults. Vault is currently the apparatus with less competition in general. You are fucked if you try for UB, but in vault, for an European, with Asia and Gadirova out, you have a chance.
May 4, 2024 at 10:46 AM |
Coline on. It is hers to loose. Almost stuck for her first vault, a little short, but very good. 14.366 for her first vault. A little step in her second vault, but it is hers.
May 4, 2024 at 10:49 AM |
Good vault for Barbosu in her first vault. 13.700. 4.8 for her second vault. Very clean second vault. 13.66 for Ana, for fourth place.
May 4, 2024 at 10:53 AM |
Karina on for Germany. Very pretty vault. I hope Germany nortures this new generation, as they have a lot of potential. Very high FTY for the second, she is training for a DTY, and she seems to be ready. 13.466 on average.
May 4, 2024 at 11:01 AM |
A Yurchenko full in a vault final? Is this 1992?
May 4, 2024 at 11:18 AM
Vault is in crisis. Remember when vault was a very stacked final? Now, it is the best way to medal. Even internationally there aren’t a lot of vaulters.
May 4, 2024 at 11:23 AM
Just chuck a Cheng and finish third behind Simone falling and Andrade. That’s how you do it.
May 4, 2024 at 11:52 AM
That’s how Yamilet Peña and Dipa Karamak did it, they got difficulty for vaults they never landed. But it is not worth it risking your neck. But the coaches will see they can get a medal easier right now training two vaults and in the next circle we will have a lot of vaulters again, and less UB workers. It is the circle of gymnastics life.
May 4, 2024 at 10:56 AM |
Camille Rasmussen for Denmark, out of podium at the reception. Not a very good vault, very messy. 13.333. The second one is not very good either, she almost ate the vault. 13.166 for her.
May 4, 2024 at 10:57 AM |
Coline gold, Giorgeva silver (very happy for her) and Ming, on her first year, gets bronze. Barbosu, as usual, gets fourth. It has to be frustrating that it happens so often to you that it is almost a common joke at this point.
May 4, 2024 at 11:16 AM |
UB finals is about to start. Much more stacked than vault final, that’s for sure. Alice, Iorio, Georgia Mae Fenton and Filipa Martins. Zoja is here, the one fucked up in Olypic quals, so I hope she medals here, only because of that.
May 4, 2024 at 11:17 AM |
Becky Downie is first, but I don’t put a lot of trust in her exercise.
May 4, 2024 at 11:20 AM |
Downie fell. She hit in quals, so it was bound to happen. She will do good again on TF.
May 4, 2024 at 11:22 AM
She is inconsistent and would never be on a team where the team could win a medal. This Olympics where they will be lucky to finish top 6 I can see them taking her for a chance at a bar final but doubtful a medal but if someone gets injured , she can’t back anyone up. And GB has been falling like toy soldiers.
May 4, 2024 at 11:50 AM
GB have a lot of gymnasts that are inconsistent and have long career. Dammit, Becky is 32, she is not going to get consistent now. But I haven’t seen a competition where Kinsella doesn’t fall, for example. GB in general is inconsistent. And when a lot of people is inconsistent in a team, I blame the coaches. You train that too. The Gadirovas have other coaches, and they are much more consistent that the rest of GB. That can’t be by chance.
May 4, 2024 at 11:23 AM
13.633 for her.
May 4, 2024 at 11:24 AM
Ridiculous score for a fall. This Europeans is going to be in for a huge awakening come the Olympics.
May 4, 2024 at 11:53 AM
I am NOT happy with that. But at least this is a packed event, so their shaeningans will not give GB a medal with her this time.
May 4, 2024 at 11:26 AM
They have given her full 6.6 difficulty, which is unfair because she wasn’t even close to completing one of the elements that gave her a lot of D-score, including the connection.
May 4, 2024 at 11:25 AM |
Very clean exercise for Filipa. I think she took something out, but still a lot of difficulty. 13.700 with 5.4.
May 4, 2024 at 11:28 AM |
Great set for Iorio, wonderful dismount, loved it.
May 4, 2024 at 11:29 AM |
14.366. 6.3 difficulty. A fair difficulty, unlike Downie’s. Why are the Italians favouring GB, it goes against everything we Mediterranean people feel, it goes against our DNA.
May 4, 2024 at 11:32 AM |
Kevric for Germany didn’t do a good exercise, but she is sixteen and with a bright future. All the German team is new and very young. She saved the exercise and didn’t fell, which in some moments was a miracle. 13.866, she has a very high D.score.
May 4, 2024 at 11:33 AM |
UB judges: if we go again to the system that you don’t really mind the execution, but if you have a high D-score you medal, it is a mistake. You know what happened with vault.
May 4, 2024 at 11:41 AM |
I know how it works but certain gymnasts always seem to get gift scores and you know how that drives me nuts:)
May 4, 2024 at 11:36 AM |
Good for Rafa, the male commentator and Spanish ex-gymnasts, calling out how unfair is for a gymnast who didn’t fall and one who did ending up with the same score.
May 4, 2024 at 11:37 AM |
13.700 for Weslund.
May 4, 2024 at 11:38 AM |
Zsoja fells, I shouldn’t have said anything.
May 4, 2024 at 11:38 AM |
Very nice the rest of the exercise, with stuck dismount. A pity her fall.
May 4, 2024 at 11:40 AM
12.700. With a 6 of execution? Is this people mental?
May 4, 2024 at 11:42 AM
That is more realistic than Becky falling and getting in the 13s.lol
May 4, 2024 at 11:54 AM
She didn’t get a fucking 6 and Downie did worse in the rest of the exercise.
May 4, 2024 at 11:42 AM |
Alice on. Italy is incredibly consistent. Very calm, very well done. Downie could never. I am very mad at Downie score, she fell, she shouldn’t have been credited a fucking 6.6.If she medals with a fall I am going to get incredibly destructive.
May 4, 2024 at 11:43 AM |
14.600, Alice on first. I liked Iorio’s better, but pretty good both of them.
May 4, 2024 at 11:44 AM
Lorio has been a bit lowballed compared to the sister all meet.
May 4, 2024 at 11:43 AM |
She’s second to last so she won’t medal but the judges are doing GB no service by overscoring this team and thinking this will hold up at the Olympics.
May 4, 2024 at 11:45 AM |
Nice set for Giorgia Mae-Fenton, with some problems with the handstands and a huge step in the dismount. (She tried to hide it, but it was very obvious. Imaginary point for trying, though. IMAGINARY, JUDGES, I SAID IMAGINARY).
May 4, 2024 at 11:46 AM |
So I have been watching some European videos on youtube and I am sorry (not sorry) but this girls gymnastics is just gross. She is so sloppy.
May 4, 2024 at 11:56 AM
It is GB. GB hasn’t be consistent in all their history. They get by by high D-scores in especific events, and by the Gadirovas being coached by other people. Even Elizabeth Tweedle (God bless her, the stupidity she had to endure at GB federation, loved her) had more than questionable form and dismounts.
May 4, 2024 at 11:58 AM
But GMF is very elegant, very long lines and packed difficulty. Judges love this kind of gymnasts, because they are all more than a little chauvinistic, especially European, old school judges.
May 4, 2024 at 12:03 PM
The bars was messy skill wise but her form looked better than it has in the past.
May 4, 2024 at 11:46 AM |
13.900 for Giorgia. Gold for Alice, Silver for Iorio and bronze for GMF.
May 4, 2024 at 11:58 AM |
May 4, 2024 at 11:59 AM |
The mascot for Rimini 2024 is a monkey who gives the gold medalist big bananas…I am so proud of myself for not having said anything inappopiate and of very bad taste yet.
May 4, 2024 at 12:03 PM |
You deserve a cookie for that. I am surprised someone is crying racism over this
May 4, 2024 at 12:05 PM
We are Europeans, we have other codes of symbolism. You should see which ones were one of my favourite sweets since I was a kid. If someone is going to take offense (I doubt it, because, again, Europeans) would be more for the giant bananas being handled out to some minors. I am surprised no one have done a very bad taste joke as of yet.
May 4, 2024 at 12:03 PM |
Beam final next. Two Spanish gymnasts here! Pray for us.
May 4, 2024 at 12:06 PM |
What happened to the girl who qualified for the Olympics, Laura ? Her last name starts with a C. I am too lazy to look it up
May 4, 2024 at 12:10 PM
Laura Casabuena is here, but had a minor injury in her buttock and her place at the Olympics is only for her, so they are trying to keep her healthy.
May 4, 2024 at 12:08 PM |
So for beam I have hope for Ana Pérez, who ended up with the fourth higher score. Alba Petisco is here, too.
May 4, 2024 at 12:09 PM |
It was said that Andreoli was warming up, but both Alice and Manila are here, so I don’t know what that was about. I hope Casella is not playing mind games with the kid.
May 4, 2024 at 12:11 PM |
Ana Pérez had it very though with injuries, so it would be glorious for her to medal here.
May 4, 2024 at 12:13 PM |
There seems to be very little interest for Europeans this year. Is it because the Russians, and Gadorova’s aren’t here? I haven’t even heard much complaining about the scoring being unfair. I have to admit, I am disinterested. Most of these gymnasts have zero shot at EF or medals when the United states, China and Brazil are in the mix. With the Olympics being in France, I think Coline Devillard might have a shot at making finals on vault, and maybe Sabrina on floor, or beam, but not much else.
May 4, 2024 at 12:14 PM |
It’s the Italian Nationals 🙂
May 4, 2024 at 12:14 PM |
Marine Boyer on. She mostly hits, but there are some dubious connections and some breaks.
May 4, 2024 at 12:14 PM |
She’s another one I find over scored.
May 4, 2024 at 12:15 PM |
Love the mint green outfit, by the way.
May 4, 2024 at 12:17 PM
You have to sign in to watch and it’s a Saturday, so today, I give no efforts, including while sitting on my ass:) I will live through you. I’m also too lazy to get up and eat (I am starving)
May 4, 2024 at 12:15 PM |
14.033. If they are putting that bar, they better do it for everyone.
May 4, 2024 at 12:17 PM |
Wonderful exercise for Manila. That beginning, those wolf turns…Manila is great.
May 4, 2024 at 12:18 PM |
Even I like her 🙂
May 4, 2024 at 12:27 PM
That is the highest of praises. Stop the World! GTT actively LIKES SOMEONE!
May 4, 2024 at 12:29 PM
I like a few gymnasts.lol But yes, I am critical. I sat through years of Bela Karolyi’s gymnasts getting ridiculous scores because they were coached by Bela, and that made me harsh 🙂
May 4, 2024 at 12:51 PM
You usually don’t like anyone born after 1995. This is a miracle performed by Manila.
May 4, 2024 at 12:19 PM |
14.400 for Manila. GO, MANILA, GO!
May 4, 2024 at 12:21 PM |
I’m taking 5 tenths off everyone’s scores from this meet for the judges inability to be logical to see how these scores match up with reality.
May 4, 2024 at 12:21 PM |
Alice on. Not her best set, with several breaks, especially at the beginning, but she nailed her most difficult elements and her upgraded dismount.
May 4, 2024 at 12:23 PM |
13.266, lots of penalties for her. 0.4 less than in quals, she especially didn’t connect the elements at the beginning.
May 4, 2024 at 12:25 PM |
Ana did very good, but with a huge break in the middle and I think she didn’t connect some things, but she did pretty good. And no wolf turns, so this makes her routine 10% better.
May 4, 2024 at 12:26 PM |
12.933, around 0.3 less than in quals.
May 4, 2024 at 12:31 PM |
Great routine for Sabrina, it is her highest D-score routine, with one of the most difficult acrobatics to date. Only one huge break of form, but there are elements of very high difficulty that she manages to do with security. She will probably get into first for the difficulty alone.
May 4, 2024 at 12:32 PM |
Need to get that video.
May 4, 2024 at 12:33 PM |
14.166, so into second. They have being very rigorous with the E-score, a little way too much in my opinion.
May 4, 2024 at 12:34 PM
Her form is usually very suspect but Jade is just as bad and judges don’t care, so..
May 4, 2024 at 12:49 PM
She is getting better. She is a new senior, after all. And with many problems with the federation. Jade has always been that way.
May 4, 2024 at 12:40 PM
Sabrina is adorable.She’s very likable but girl, your form, FIX IT, or at least attempt to fox it.
May 4, 2024 at 12:35 PM |
May 4, 2024 at 12:36 PM |
The monkey has given Marine Boyer a fake chicken…I want to know what the people in charge of mascot things have been smoking.
May 4, 2024 at 12:38 PM |
Amalia on. Nice enough set, although a little low in the jumps.
May 4, 2024 at 12:40 PM |
The comments saying that the promising junior gymnasts are seniors at last. How fast have you forgotten about Staniuslescu, Duta, etc., whom you presented as the new gold medalists and disregarded as soon as the problems began, eh?
May 4, 2024 at 12:41 PM |
And the juniors they have at Europeans weren’t scored well so not sure the future is bright either. Though I found them watchable enough.
May 4, 2024 at 12:51 PM
They are good. Pretty good but Romania needs to be realistic and know that they are not going to regain the place they had before 2010, because of their own idiocy. And they can attempt to get individual medals with Sabrina or Ana, but that’s it. Romania Federation seems to live in delulu land in which if the wish it long enough, they will regain their previous place in gymnastics. And the need to realize that is not going to happen. These girls need and deserve and realistic federation who treat them properly.
May 4, 2024 at 12:43 PM |
13.500 for Lilia Cosman, not Amalia.
May 4, 2024 at 12:43 PM |
Lilia isn’t given the Romanian name, extra tenths like her teammates are. #JusticeForLilia
May 4, 2024 at 12:52 PM
She got better score than in quals. They took her out of beam rooster for TF. There are something there they didn’t like. They put Amalia.
May 4, 2024 at 12:43 PM |
Alba did good. No falls, with some breaks but good job. A beam final without falls. Do the wonders never cease?
May 4, 2024 at 12:45 PM |
13.033 for Alba, better than in quals.
May 4, 2024 at 12:45 PM |
That is a miracle.
May 4, 2024 at 12:45 PM |
Gold for Manila (the most deserving gold I have seen in forever), Sabrina silver and Marine bronze.
May 4, 2024 at 12:58 PM |
Apparently, the monkey’s name is Luigi.
May 4, 2024 at 1:02 PM |
That makes sense
May 4, 2024 at 1:03 PM
I suppose that if that happened in Spain we will have a bull named Manolo or something like that.
May 4, 2024 at 1:11 PM
WE would have some dumbass name spelled weirdly if it was the US.lol
May 4, 2024 at 1:22 PM
Kaileighinged or something. Why in USA is normal to try to be original with names? Don’t name your kids weird things. They are the ones who have to live with it.
May 4, 2024 at 1:23 PM
If you’re black you don’t get normal names and if you’re white, they try and be unique and spell a name like Mary, Merray.lol Parents are stupid and have 0 respect for what their kids will have to deal with.
May 4, 2024 at 1:42 PM
Don’t fuck with the kids. Period. We don’t care if you are trying to be “original”. In Spain there is a law in which you can’t name your kids something that will be harmful to them. I find that most of this original shit fall under that cathegory. I read a post on “Am I the Asshole?” in which a person had named her baby “Harlot”. How stupid do you have to be?
May 4, 2024 at 1:43 PM
There is someone instagram that named their baby, Poo.
May 4, 2024 at 1:01 PM |
Floor final about to start. The tittle should be between Sabrina and Manila, but Andreoli should be there, too, if she whips out her most difficult routine.
May 4, 2024 at 1:06 PM |
I feel like if she hits they will give this to Sabrina. Form doesn’t matter to judges , only start value so they could have given her beam if they went their usual way of BS. We will see. Maybe Alice can upgrade a few tenths, she’s last I believe.
May 4, 2024 at 1:19 PM
No Alice, Andreoli. Alice was two per countried.
May 4, 2024 at 1:20 PM
When I say Alice I mean Kinsella.
May 4, 2024 at 1:22 PM
I call the D’Amato sisters (are they twins) by their last name.
May 4, 2024 at 1:37 PM
Ok, got it. Well, now we know the one competing is Alice. Poor Asia, she was with Martina in the stands.
May 4, 2024 at 1:39 PM
With Europeans being at home, I can see why everyone competed. Those girls are always getting injured. Casela> Marta
May 4, 2024 at 1:07 PM |
Andreaoli did get a 3 tenths deductions which would have tied her with Sabrina (TwO feet, OOB?)
May 4, 2024 at 1:20 PM
Yep, OOB. Without OOB, she wouldn’t have the deduction and better E-score.
May 4, 2024 at 1:02 PM |
Kinsella is there, but I don’t like her usual overscoring, so I hope for a podium in which Andreoli is there. Everything that means pissing Casella off is good for me.
May 4, 2024 at 1:03 PM |
And I like Andreoli, dammit, so rooting for her and for Manila.
May 4, 2024 at 1:11 PM |
That is true.
May 4, 2024 at 1:06 PM |
Ming first, she had problems in the first pass, and then with an strage problem in the second. She stuck the last one, though. Not her best set, and she is going to get slammered in E-score, but for her first competition as a senior, she did great.
May 4, 2024 at 1:07 PM |
12.700.
May 4, 2024 at 1:11 PM |
Voinea on. She is extremely enjoyable to watch. Of course, then you see Jade medal and want to burn the judges’s stand down. Better form, especially in the last three passes. She get OOB in the first pass, and didn’t finished the triple turn, but very good exercise.
May 4, 2024 at 1:11 PM |
13.900 for her. We saw her mother, and holy shit that lady needs to go easier on the eye color.
May 4, 2024 at 1:13 PM
Her mother seems to be toxic, always starting trouble. She needs to stop because I can’t imagine those girls on the Romanian team are can be nice to her over the shit her mother has pulled.
May 4, 2024 at 1:36 PM
Knowing Romanian Federation, without knowing which was the issue, I tend to go with the mother. Romanian Federation break people and they are this way because of their own fault.
May 4, 2024 at 1:13 PM
Sabrina upped her start value by a tenth, same execution as prelims. AND, And OOB
May 4, 2024 at 1:14 PM
13.700, sorry, with a 5.9.
May 4, 2024 at 1:13 PM |
Sabrina’s beam:
May 4, 2024 at 1:14 PM |
Ok for Abigail Martins, OOBs too.
May 4, 2024 at 1:15 PM |
13.200.
May 4, 2024 at 1:16 PM |
Noe she is the one I can’t watch. This routine makes Jade look like she isn’t overscored.
May 4, 2024 at 1:17 PM
A very british floor. And she didn’t get the gifts Jade gets.
May 4, 2024 at 1:18 PM
She did in prelims. That routine was a slop fest. I laughed at the score.
May 4, 2024 at 1:17 PM |
WONDERFUL, MANILA! LOVE YOU, QUEEN!
May 4, 2024 at 1:18 PM |
That Jade or Simone or Kinsella got ahead of routines like Manila’s should be illegal in this sport.
May 4, 2024 at 1:19 PM
I can’t wait for Sabrina’s mother after this meet.lol
May 4, 2024 at 1:18 PM |
13,833 for Manila and into first.
May 4, 2024 at 1:23 PM |
Morgane on. She did well. I enjoy her floor more than Melanie’s. God, flashback of Melanie’s horrid music of last year. They better fix that shit for the Olympics. I usually don’t care for the French being disrespected, but it would be disrespectful for the French star to be given that music in an Olympics in Paris.
May 4, 2024 at 1:23 PM |
French are overrated dancers. (runs and hides:)
May 4, 2024 at 1:26 PM
Do you really think that a Spaniard is going to tell you off for insulting French people? You wound me.
May 4, 2024 at 1:27 PM
LOL.I havn’t been in history class since the 80s. I remember nothing.lol
May 4, 2024 at 1:43 PM
Spanish people and French people don’t get along. Or British people and French people. Or Italian people with French people. Or German people with French people. French people don’t play well with others through history in general.
May 4, 2024 at 1:46 PM
So France is full of assholes? Got it. 🙂
In the US are Politicians are always trying to start another cold war with Russia. And China. Biden is a POS, Senile, war mongrel so he can line his pockets. I need to stop now.
May 4, 2024 at 1:24 PM |
13.300 for Morgane.
May 4, 2024 at 1:26 PM |
Alba on. She did great! Better than quals.

13.233 for Alba and into fourth.
May 4, 2024 at 1:30 PM |
Andreoli on. She did good but but a little short on the jumps. If she has problems in her ankles and she is competing, Cassella, I will find you and send Liam Neesson after you.
May 4, 2024 at 1:32 PM |
13.633 and on third for now, with Kinsella to go.
May 4, 2024 at 1:34 PM |
Kinsella hits. Better than in quals, I think, but Andreoli also scored better.
May 4, 2024 at 1:35 PM |
So Italian National championships it is ?
May 4, 2024 at 1:44 PM
We still have the Martina, Giorgia, Iorio question.
May 4, 2024 at 1:46 PM
Why did Lorio only do bars here?
May 4, 2024 at 1:49 PM
Iorio is a bar especialist. She can do everything, but her scores are lower than the rest of the girls, so she was scheduled only to compete UB, but was able to step in and do vault when Asia got injuried. Tomorrow she is scheduled to do floor too instead of Alice. So she can do AA, but her scores are lower than the rest, so she usually doesn’t compete it.
May 4, 2024 at 1:52 PM
Do you think she will be the one left out? With all the injuries, it’s just stupid to take a one event gymnast.
May 4, 2024 at 1:59 PM
It is not really a one event gymnast, because she is able to do AA. It is not like when you take Downie or stuff like that. She is able, is just that she scores lower, so you can take the risk knowing that she can deliver
AA if necessary. It is just that if you are deciding between gymnasts, you see which one could give you most chances for a medal or to boost team scores, and Alice, Giorgia and Manila can give you roughly the same score as Iorio. They need the most a vaulter, because Asia not only give them chances of vault medal, her highest scoring vault gave them a boost. Or an UB especialists to take out Martina and Angela if needed for team final, as it is their worst apparatus. But they really doesn’t need anything, because Manila Alice, Martina and Andreoli are AAers with high scores in all events, so they can take whoever they want.
May 4, 2024 at 2:02 PM
Unless it’s a splast fest, bars is the one event where you need a 6.8 to medal, so Lorio would only matter for team.
May 4, 2024 at 2:05 PM
If you are well covered with the other four, it is just a matter to see which event is the weakest for the main AAer, or take the next highest scoring AAer just in case.
May 4, 2024 at 2:09 PM
Dies Italy have a trials for the Olympics?
May 4, 2024 at 2:12 PM
I don’t know. Most of the European federations have an internal control. The national championships can be done before the main continental championships or the Worlds/Olympics or not, and those results are not binding. I remember that Russia used to have Russian Cup and Russian Championship before the European/Worlds and the only spot guaranteed was for the main AAers. The rest of the spots were awarded internally. Think about Italy like that.
May 4, 2024 at 1:47 PM
You know I am team Maggio. They are send the D’Amato no matter what, and I think Manila just certified her spot. Should be interesting.
May 4, 2024 at 1:51 PM
Manila is going, no questions asked. Alice is going, too. Andreoli should go. And Martina, is she is okay, is going, too, so four AAer. The remaining question is if you take Giorgia for UB/Beam, Iorio for UB, or see if you can get someone with more power for vault especially.
May 4, 2024 at 1:52 PM
I don’t know how Desireé Carofligio is, but she used to have two vaults. I haven’t seen her since 2022. A vaulter would have the best bet to replace Asia.
May 4, 2024 at 1:54 PM
Do we know how Maggio looks yet?
May 4, 2024 at 2:02 PM
She looks good, she was at World Cups recently. Last seen at Doha. She did bad on UB, but it had always been her worst apparatus (hence why Iorio/Giorgia would make sense for team final, but they could use Andreoli, Alice and Manila without issue).
May 4, 2024 at 1:55 PM
But if I have to bet right now for the Olympics, the team would be Manila, Alice, Andreoli, Martina and Giorgia. Because Casella loves Giorgia (I do too) and he owes her one (I know that is not a excuse, but she is pretty close to Iorio, so in similar circumnstances, she is going to be the one taken to the Olymplics). But most probably injuries will decide the spots.
May 4, 2024 at 1:56 PM
So say Martina can’t make it back, then it will be Lorio?
May 4, 2024 at 2:00 PM
Probably, but Martina would have given more to the team.
May 4, 2024 at 2:00 PM
Iorio would kept her spot, and Giorgia would take Asia’s spot, although they would have better rounded up with Martina.
May 4, 2024 at 1:37 PM |
No podium for Kinsella. Gold for Manila (Yes, queen, love ya), silver for Sabrina and Andreoli bronze (in your face, Cassella).
May 4, 2024 at 2:13 PM |
May 6, 2024 at 1:27 PM |
Love that!
May 5, 2024 at 9:49 AM |
Pretty late to the game, because it is Mother’s Day here in Spain and I am at my mom’s. Almost half of the team final underway and it seems that everyone and their mother is falling or having not very good routines, except for Italy.
May 5, 2024 at 9:51 AM |
Downie hits, but by their scores Kinsella and GMF had to have some problems.
May 5, 2024 at 9:57 AM |
Iorio is so nice to watch. So quiet, so calm…Hitting hadstands in a way GB have never even be able to imagine…
May 5, 2024 at 10:03 AM |
After two rotations, Spain is two points to the podium, with some of their best apparatus (vault and UB) still to go.
May 5, 2024 at 11:09 AM |
Italy won gold, even with Iorio doing floor and vault, and GB only went for silver because France was unable to stuck anything but vault, where she has two especialists. Bad day for Romania, too, with several falls. But even with the best GB has right now, Italy went over two points, so when USA, China, Japan, Brazil, etc., are in the mix, they are going to get a dosis of reality.
May 5, 2024 at 11:17 AM |
Of what we have seen in this Europeans, Italy and Manila get on top. Manila is wonderful, all my love to her (Casella, stay away from that kid!) Italy needs a vault/floor worker to compensate Asia, as we have seen Iorio brings down the final scores, although in an Olympic final they would have brounght Alice to the floor. Martina can do that work nicely.
May 5, 2024 at 11:19 AM |
I am not sure the Olympic judges will score Manila as well as she was scored here . She has some great routines in the 14s here but the real judges are much more strict , and frankly they cheat for the names .
May 5, 2024 at 11:25 AM
Manila is a name now. If Italy plays their card rights (and Casella is on charge, so no), they can become the new European power, and the judges are really looking forward having another European power to favour. They have done it for GB (they have gotten more gifts here than Italy herself) but GB is on the downslide right now.
May 5, 2024 at 11:50 AM
There is a name and there is a name . She’s not going to get the special shit Simone and Rebeca get .
May 5, 2024 at 12:30 PM
Nobody is going to get away with the shit Simone and Rebecca does. Maybe Downie or Nina.
May 5, 2024 at 11:52 AM
A better example , Sanne Wever. Olympic champ , still over scored but not even close to medals in real meets . Top 8 if lucky
May 5, 2024 at 12:31 PM
But Sanne fails a lot. A lot, a lot. She has a lot of problems to be consistent and her exercise doesn’t allow even a mistake, or the D-score falls dramatically. When she rarely hits, she is given a lot of leeway.
May 5, 2024 at 2:30 PM
But she doesn’t get the benefit the US girls do .
May 5, 2024 at 2:55 PM
But that is not personal leverage. That is the “Big Countries” leverage. USA is always given the benefit of the doubt. Always, even when they don’t even need it.
May 5, 2024 at 8:11 PM
Not always .Leanne got hosed last year especially when you look at the results this year
May 6, 2024 at 7:07 AM
That was inside information, because USA lowballed her too. I don’t know what is happening there, but someone inside USA doesn’t like Leanne. But the gifts that Simone, Jordan, Morgan, JADE have gotten over the years…it is so obvious that USA is favoured, especially know that the other countries that usually got gifts, like Romania and Russia, aren’t really competing at its level.
May 5, 2024 at 11:21 AM |
I can’t find individual scores for team finals . I’ll look when I get home but I am supposed to take my niece to the movies tonight so maybe tomorrow . Romania finished 4th , falls or not they should feel at least some pride .
May 5, 2024 at 11:23 AM
Everyone and their mother fell. On one Twitter account it was says that Germany is the only country that didn’t take any falls. I didn’t see Italy fall, but they must have before I got it.
May 5, 2024 at 11:21 AM |
The teams that we will probably seen at the Olympics as we have seen here, or with one substitution or less will be Romania, GB, France (Melanie will probably be the only substitution, for Lorette most probably, as Ming’s vault is more necessary than Lorette’s bars), Spain and Italy (with Martina for Asia and maybe Giorgia for Ilorio).
May 5, 2024 at 12:29 PM |
Read that Andreoli fell on beam and that was Italy’s fall.
May 5, 2024 at 7:11 PM |
But she went for the hard routine, so…

May 7, 2024 at 6:43 PM |
To be quite honest, I find it difficult to take seriously something called “Core hydration”. Good recommendation in the face of the summer, though.
May 7, 2024 at 11:56 PM
It’s really just water. lol
May 8, 2024 at 3:57 PM
But it sound so unserious. Can’t they say “USA Classics, supported by Core Hidration” like always? Why they have to change the name? That is only going to confuse people and won’t make anyone buy that water.
May 8, 2024 at 4:26 PM
It’s all about the money. they get money for naming rights
May 8, 2024 at 5:50 PM
I understand the logic, I just don’t think it is useful for marketing strategies. Some people is not going to get this weird named thingy is the USA Classics and the constant interruption of brands while you are enjoying something so like make me hate it (hello, Oreos).
May 8, 2024 at 6:28 PM
Poor Oreos.
May 11, 2024 at 1:03 PM
Oreos doesn’t deserve your pity.
May 8, 2024 at 12:04 PM |
They really didn’t make this fair with the sessions!
May 8, 2024 at 12:06 PM |
May 8, 2024 at 2:12 PM |
Hezley is the only person with a chance at this team not competing in the second session. Someone on Reddit claims that USAG randomly picked these sessions after putting the last 2 Worlds teams in the final group. No one believes this is true.
May 8, 2024 at 12:11 PM |
May 8, 2024 at 2:10 PM |
I dislike that girl. She is the most obnoxious person at Reddit. She also used to run an account called, Gutsu Fan at youtube, and posted as Kotchekova fan at IG Message board. She hates Shannon Miller.
There was a discussion about gymnasts robbed of medals, and for the first time she said nothing. I was in shock that she could shut up on the subject. She was called out a few times on the subject so maybe she finally learned that harassing people people just makes you hated (Reddit is not like this place, you can’t have an opinion the majority doesn’t agree with or the mod bans you)
