“Imagine feeling like you have no power and no voice. Well, you know what, Larry? I have both power and voice, and I am only beginning to just use them."
Sam is on floor doing the passes he missed in the AA final. Just proving to himself that he can do it and ending on positive floor. He's raising is arms in victory. Simone just yelled "You know you are doing Pbars right?"
Skinner's Olympics most likely ends here (unless an American is too hurt to compete in a final). She did it. She made it. By her scores at Trials, she should have been on the team but now and *forever*, she will be an Olympian.
Every college gymnast’s MAG & WAG season just ended. For seniors, careers ended unceremoniously with a press release. Please send messages of love and support to them. Safety first is always the best policy (for once! Organizations doing the right thing!) but the 💔 is deep.
1/3 “USA Gymnastics has terminated its agreement with the Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas. It will no longer serve as the USA Gymnastics National Team Training Center." - Kerry Perry USAG President
We asked Euros WAG competitors: "Who is the first gymnast you think of when you hear the word "POWERFUL?"

in many languages 🙈
DiCello hit her routine without getting a one-touch. First two up in warm up went their overtime, so she couldn’t touch. Another example of how USAG is failing. Being athlete centered doesn’t mean you stop providing structure. Tom should have told the others to stop.
Ebee standing ovation from the crowd. All the fans. She just paid for her degree in biomedical engineering with gymnastics. She can actually make the world a better place. Thank you Ebee for your career and all you will continue for us in the future.

What Simone did was selfless. Simone posted the lowest score of the entire 1st rotation. She stepped back, took care of herself & gave her teammates a chance at a medal.
“I usually persevere and push through things, but not to cost the team a medal.”
There are 8 WORLD CHAMPIONS in college. Let's mention that every time they complete. "Former national team member" doesn't cut it.
1. Alyssa Baumann
2. Madison Desch
3. Brenna Dowell
4. Maggie Nichols
5. Madison Kocian
6. Kyla Ross
7. MyKayla Skinner
8. Sabrina Vega
The way Jordan Chiles is performing ....just think if we'd gotten to see all of our favorites make it to adulthood in elite rather than get injured or burnout. Getting better and better going into Tokyo and now killing it. Almost like gymnastics is for grown ass women.
If you just want to chant the name of a hero who’s here tonight who has NOT been acknowledge by USAG in any of these game or awards breaks, she’s in the box between 141 and 143, her name is Aly Raisman.
Watching Heath, the Australian national all-around champion, standing on the floor in street clothes while his team does podium training without him…. it’s heartbreaking and wrong.
Skinner says she wishes she knew what criteria they were using to select the team, saying if they were going to use rank 1-4 she wishes Tom would have just said so. Was surprised to be selected as the +1

Ditching the Marta way for dancing between rotations and opting to give gymnasts more experience rather than punish them for mistakes = LARGEST MARGIN OF VICTORY EVER. Even over men who have 2 more events than women! 🙌🏼
Largest gymnastics team event margins of victory, Olympics or Worlds under Code of Points
2018 USA women -- 8.766
2016 USA women -- 8.209
2008 China men -- 7.25
2014 USA women -- 6.693
From the time Simone won her first World title here in Belgium a decade ago, she has not lost a single all-around competition 🤯

Jordyn Wieber Is Countering An Abusive Gymnastics Culture By Coaching
"Always think of [the woman] as a person before an athlete; caring about them as a person and a human being that has feelings and thoughts and emotions before a gymnast"
Chris Books and Jordyn Weiber just walked toward each other from across the arena and had THE most romantic congratulatory hug in history of Olympian Champions who move mats and Oklahoma NCAA MAG champs
There are only 4 white women out of 22 in the second session at Classic. This IS what gymnastics looks like in 2021 🥳. Shout out to all the leo manufacturers and coaches getting skin tone mesh leos.
SIMONE JUST DID THE HALF ON DOUBLE FRONT FULL OFF! If she does this at Worlds she will be the first gymnast (male or female) to get it named after them!!!!!
