Gymnastics(Men & Women)...


Underdog

Recommended Posts

gymnastics has to be one of the most ridiculous things to even try and critique as a couch-watcher. you can lie to yourself about your ability to play basketball or run or swim.... because you did it at the local YMCA way back when

gymnastics, its just watch and shut-up, because to even try one of these is permanent disability for me.. 😅

how do these performances translate to the individual medals?

They don't. The qualification round set our entrants for the solo all around and the individual apparatus medals.

Italy is biggest threat. Unless we collapse on floor we should have gold easily

Yeah, Italy (-3.6) and Great Britian (-5) are not the two teams I expect to see at the top of the leaderboard right now. China is going to be fighting for a medal.

How dominant is the US women's score right now?  Seems pretty far out front...and i've heard them comment they're not even doing really hard routines. Just safe ones, good enough to win.

 

It's a little confusing because China and Brazil are a competitor ahead of the US and Italy. But coming in:

We've gained a point on Italy after each of us had a competitor on floor. And stood pat with GB having a competitor on the Beam.

Yeah i mean at the end of the 3rd rotation they were well over 3.5 points up...a US player would have to disqualify to lose i think.  Just seems pretty sizable.

We are +5 on Italy. They still have a competitor to go so they would need a MONSTER number to make Biles really go for it.

Yeah she really just needs to not fall apart and she'll be fine.

 

Save her best routines for the all around and/or the individual.
