Do you think rebeca’s cheng is better than Simone’s?

Is this a serious question? I have eyes

Obviously this sucks for Jordan but the fact of the matter is that the judges fucked up in her favor 3 times on the day of competition. Crediting the gogean during the inquiry, allowing the inquiry overtime, and giving Sabrina an OOB that never happened.

She got to go up on the podium and have a medal ceremony for a medal she didn’t earn. Ana may get a medal eventually, but she’ll never have that moment of having her flag raised as she stands next to Simone and Rebeca, and Sabrina will get neither. Jordan will go back to a well funded college program and a well funded elite program with tons of potential for endorsements. She’s still got her Olympic gold and silver.

I feel really bad for all of them, this is awful for all three of them, but it’s odd to me that all of the sympathy goes to Jordan and none to the Romanians.

From podium training it really looks like Ana Barbosu has found something that she was missing last year. Maybe not having to carry the team on her own is good for her, maybe Türkiye just agrees with her. Who knows. But I think she may surprise some people this year.

I also really love her floor as an example of how you can make good choreography and interesting skill selection work for a gymnast that does not really come across as a natural performer. Her movements are a little choppy and it works with the routine.

“it’s crazy to think people that are almost like no-names in this sport like andreea acatrinei (2008, romania) have an olympic medal but people like eythora thorsdottir don’t even have a world medal… “
