Tweaked her ankle 

[Underdog 28543]

Saw that... Sucks.  Girls struggling a bit on floor exercise, Lee stepped out of bounds and Carey tumbled off mat. 

[Underdog 28543]

Gritted herself through that routine.

I think swelling is starting to kick in. She looks to be laboring on it a bit more 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Woke up with some heartburn and flipped this on.


wtf did biles just do?

Girl on beam watching Biles on vault.

I’m a big fan of Suni Lee

Nailed that landing, good routine and sucks her or Chiles could be left out in All Around. 

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

The white girl scares me. 

[Underdog 28543]

Carrot Top had a kid? 

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

France choked so hard

Yeah, in all sports. 

[Deej 76748]

You're using the term "men's" gymnastics loosely, I guess. 

[TexArcher 37761]

Gymnastics is the best event in the Summer Games.  I like every single event.

No one watching the men?

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Yep. Beanie campbell crushed that iron cross

[Captain Ron 12862]

just flipped it on now. They are talking about the bronze being in reach. Is no other medal truly reachable?

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

That nerdy SOB did it

[Captain Ron 12862]

Our last guy on pommel horse looks like a cross between Clark Kent and Harry Potter.

[Captain Ron 12862]

14.866

[Captain Ron 12862]

Looks like we lock down a bronze. That final routine looks good enough to lock up silver, but not take gold.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19100]

Bronze. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

LOL at China blowing the gold on that final rotation. Though I have to feel for Su's family and the labor camp they are going to be assigned to for their son's failure.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19100]

That’s huge. 

[Ted Lange 16082]

That was awesome.   What a seemingly great group of guys.

I watched the men's team all around. US was fucking clutch on the horse this time around. Kept them in the medals.

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Actually wild to have 4th best overall score but can’t compete 

[Underdog 28543]

Yeah, that's a tough one.

[The Dog 44017]

 

[Stringer 1438]

I came in late to the broadcast on Saturday and honestly wondered if he was on the team or a Make-A-Wish kid celebrating with the team.  Legend.

Tell me you only follow gymnastics at the Olympics without telling me …

It’s not a screw job, those are the rules.

It doesn’t make it a good rule or a rule that should be debated and potentially changed. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

They are carry over rules when the eastern bloc dominated gymnastics. I get why they exist; I think it sucks that we’re now the targets, but so it goes. We likely didn’t hate them too much in the 70s and 80s.

Fucking assassin!

This next one has a cool angle of his performance bc you can watch his teammates going crazy!

Very cool. 😎 I thought after the second day we didn’t have a shot at the team medal. 🏅 fuck ya we did! That gives men’s gymnastics such a boost. It’s been 16 years. Something to build on. A little taste of success suits them. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

The Women start in just over any hour.

I wonder if the rotation works well for us:

1. Vault
2. Uneven Bars
3. Balance Beam
4. Floor

Finally - the scoring is a little faster online - https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/results/artistic-gymnastics/women-s-team/fnl-000001-- - than if you're watching on TV

[Buzzrock 14901]

If you recorded it, the full mens team event is worth watching even if you FF the other teams. Dusty as hell within the first ten minutes.

[Captain Ron 12862]

YIKES. Injury to a Brazilian Gymnast in warmups.

I'm really far from any sort of expert on the strengths of US Gymnastics.

I THINK I recall that Vault and Floor are our tops events. So, that lineup looks favorable to me, start and end with a strength. Know gaps/advantage at the end. Like I said I don't know much so it's pretty much me just spitballing so it's worth what you paid for it. (That'll be 9.95 please, like and subscribe)

It was great, truly. 

[Captain Ron 12862]

I agree Vault in where we shine. They also noted that China is opening up in their best event too the Uneven bars.

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Huge mess up by chinas best uneven bars participant. Hit her leg on bar. May not get credit for the trick but definitely half point reduction

[Captain Ron 12862]

I'm trying to decide the best view for watching. NBC's coverage is a focused USA/China H2H, but there is also the Multiview on Peacock where you can watch all 4 events simultaneously, but no comentary.

[BurntEyes 5954]

China falls on beam.

I get commentary on mutliview, or did last time I had it on and could select which image I wanted to "listen to".
