okay but canât the NCAA just grant all the athletes who had their season ended early by this an extra year of eligibility? Surely thatâs in their power right?

I never understood the true meaning of hypocrisy until I realized there are people who live in Central Europe and refuse to eat locally produced honey because âomg the poor bees, SO CRUELâ while simultaneously drinking tons of coffee that isnât even labeled fair trade
Currently on the tram in Stuttgart and listening to a couple of entitled Americans whine about how âSimone Biles gets unfairly penalized in her scores because sheâs able to do skills no other gymnastâs able to doâ
like...WHAT
@dear-aliya-count-me-in hahaha I saw that on Twitter but havenât read it yet! maybe it was her lol

Olympicchannel: Aliya Mustafina is a gymnastics queen đ.
What would her Queendom look like? đ€
forget Dany and Jon, she should win the iron throne
I hate what the FIG did to beam scores (and scores in general) this quad... 12s and 13s winning medals just sounds wrong
Iâm so happy for Kinsella, I remember seeing her at the Stuttgart World Cup a couple of years ago and thinking she has so much potential on beam and look at her now EUROPEAN CHAMPION
wow beam suuucks today
woah best DTY weâve seen so far from Peter
how did Masha just do this after that disaster of a Cheng lol
I donât get why some people act like flo is the public enemy no. 1 in this whole regionals streaming messâŠlike be mad at the NCAA theyâre the bad guys here lol
They sold the streaming rights to (likely) the highest bidder without any concern what that would mean for NCAA gymnastics in terms of accessibility. Theyâre the ones making money off of college athletes by selling these streaming rights while people like Katelyn, Kyla and Maddie arenât allowed to make a dime based on their tremendous athletic accomplishments which is beyond fucked up. Flo just did what they think benefits their stupid business model.
I just naturally come to hate Flo. Its instinct for me lol
those of us who hate aunt flo were probably in the gymternet when mckaylaâs icloud was hacked and flo posted the article about it and linked to the 4chan thread with her pictures
I was around back then and I think they shouldâve lost their USAG/FIG credentials for good back then as well.
Personally I believe it wouldâve been far more productive if the NCAA wouldâve been faced with a shitstorm from gym fans instead of almost everyone focusing their hate on Flo, considering the NCAA are the ones making the decisions when it comes to streaming rights. That way they mightâve been willing to do things differently next season

hearing on Samâs podcast that Kyla is still close with McKayla makes me so happy
me waiting for Mykayla Skinner to announce her return to elite so I can watch the gymternet collectively lose their minds
the one year I wonât be going
kill me now
MyKayla Skinner saw the ads for the 2018 Winter Olympics while she was watching the Super Bowl and thought, âHmmm, maybe.â
âA format change that will allow two event specialists per team makes the thought of an Olympic run more tantalizing, Skinner said.
âIt would be really hard to do it in the all-around again, but I could train for floor and vault; it might be a fun way to finish my elite career,â she said.â
Iâm honestly getting really tired of the not so subtle âI placed better at trials, so obviously I was robbedâ narrative. Every time she starts to grow on me, it pops up again.
I didnât read the article so I was about to be like âyasssss bitch do itâ but now Iâm just tired. May Merrel-Giles win every all around competition this seasonâŠ.
Please god no. When is this bitch going to become irrelevant? Not soon enough apparently
Iâm no Skinner stan by any means but I feel like I have to stand up for her on this occasion? What are yâall offended about? Probably this part of the article:
âTheyâve also, of course, brought back the heartache that Skinner experienced when she wasnât selected for the 2016 Olympic team despite producing higher scores in key selection meets than some of those who were chosen to represent the country.â
Iâd like to point out that this isnât a quote from Mykayla, also itâs a recollection of facts by the journalist? Like itâs a FUCKING FACT that she placed higher than Gabby Douglas and Maddie Kocian at trials, so for people who arenât that into gymnastics (so the people this article is aimed at) it must be weird she wasnât picked. Also as a journalist you need an angle and honestly if youâre writing about someone maybe trying for the Olympics again how can you not mention that disappointment in 2016??
Also the article admits that Mykayla felt bitter about missing out on the team but that sheâs VERY MUCH OVER this bitterness. Which should be a good thing lol
Like I definitely think it wasnât okay to be that vocal about her disappointment directly after trials, but this article? Yâall are grasping at straws so you can hate on her lol
Also Iâd like to point out that if youâre some self proclaimed social justice warrior itâs not cute to go around and call young women (who you donât even know) bitches no matter how much you dislike them :))
hello @dblarabian if you want to talk shit about me why donât you @ me? also fuck off :))
imagine being so bored that you drag out a post from almost a year ago(!!) and try to start a tumblr fight LOL
Iâm terribly sorry but unfortunately Iâm pretty busy with my life right now and donât have time for that kinda stuff, so please look for someone else you can yell at online, thanks đ
So this is what the miracle worker looks like. Thanks for fixing approximately 364 Russian Knees and about 724 Russian Backs.
Oops,this is the surgeon :
Dr. MĂŒller-Wohlfahrt! Heâs very famous for his work on elite athletes.
The big guy in blue is there to help them through initial recovery and as you can see continues helping them through the years.
*thank you to the person on twitter who corrected me, I really appreciate it*
wow I didnât know heâs the one who fixed Aliyaâs knee in 2011, this explains why she was able to recover this well for 2012! he literally is a miracle worker, all the footballers get treated by him, Usain Bolt trusted him during his entire career and heâs the one who fixed Fabian HambĂŒchenâs shoulder in early 2016 when he was ready to call it quits because of the injury
