Khorkina: Simone is not a robot, she’s human

In the past, Svetlana Khorkina has been extremely critical of Simone Biles multiple times and even accused her of doping. However, it appear

I think that Khorkina truly understands & empathizes with what Simone's going through because this is actually the most insightful interview I have read on this topic & touches on not just the twisties, but every potential factor of what Simone could be dealing with.

She talks about learning new skills, pushing difficulty, balancing life & gymnastics, the pressure of the media guaranteeing all these gold medals before the Olympics even happened, & how the focus on & revisiting of the sexual abuse she suffered could have affected her mentally. A must read.

ACCURATE.

Tbh I already knew that there would be ppl who would shit on Simone for dropping out but this bitch thinking Kerri strug is dead is so fucking funny to me oh my god. Isn’t she like only 40?? She broke her leg not her neck how uninformed can you be.

SCREAMING

[my-random-fandoms]

This one is so ridiculous I can't even be angry. I'm just laughing. Poor Kerri Strug, being so forgotten some people don't know she's a perfectly alive and healthy 44 year old woman.

RIP Kerri Strug 💔

THE ZUCHOLD

THE HECHT

man the code doesn’t reward this enough

[anamariatamirjan]

The only thing that would make this better is if she did the Zgoba (needed to be a D skill like yesterday) instead of the Stalder Hecht

USA Gymnastics Eyes Kansas City As A Training Site, But There's No Timeline For A Decision

Kansas City is being considered to become a USA Gymnastics national team training center site. But with the governing body’s change in leadership and its own future still unsettled in the wake of a massive sexual abuse scandal, the USAG said it doesn’t have a timeline for its decision.

The sport’s national championships will be held Aug. 8-11 at Sprint Center, and tickets are “incredibly well-sold,” according to Katherine Fox, director of marketing and sales for The Kansas City Sports Commission. That may bode well for Kansas City’s future as discussions continue.

“Demonstrating through the ticket sales for this event that it is a hotbed for Olympic hopefuls,” Fox said, adding that Kansas City’s other attributes are its central location and its ability to get things done with the U.S. Soccer training center in Kansas City, Kansas.
