This feels like the only safe place to express my opinion so I'm just gonna say it... Modern Love is so bad. So so bad. Every episode is horrible. I have more detailed opinions but I'm just trying to understand why people love it. It's just a bunch of white New Yorkers jerking themselves off to their own quirky stories that frankly are uninteresting and annoying.
Marina Ulyankina has coached many Russian national team athletes, among them Maria Paseka, Seda Tutkhalian, Alla Sosnitskaya and Uliana Pere
@russiangymstan on twitter linked me to this interview and I’m 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I love this coach
“I don’t have an Olympic champion [among my gymnasts], but all the girls have a good life. All are happy, all are satisfied, all are still calling me regularly. They all invite me to their weddings and want me to take part in their life even after they retire and when they have kids. I’ve just sent gifts for Robert, Katya Kurbatova’s baby son. I love each of my gymnasts in their own way just because all of them are different people. And I don’t care if she’s a World Champion or a 1st class gymnast, I’m genuine with each of them and my girls know and feel that.”
“I’m explosive. Sometimes, I lose it, get fired up and raise my voice… Also, I grew up in Siberia and there people are very open – they say what they think. You can’t change me already but my pupils aren’t at fault either. If I yell at them in the heat of the moment, I always find it in my to apologise to the kid. And I never end the practice on a negative note, only on a positive one, that’s the law.”
“What’s the hardest part of the job? To learn how to separate between the carrot and the stick. It’s very important. Many don’t understand it, don’t feel where the border is. They think that if you will raise a child with strictness, she’ll learn faster. That’s not true. Of course, you can’t allow the pupils to push you around all the time. But when they grow up, the constant pressure is not needed either. In gymnastics, like in any other sport, you have to have both the carrot and the stick. But the carrot is often under appreciated. And if you don’t have the carrot, then no one ever will be able to deal with the girl who you have to force to work. It’s incredibly hard work, after all. To get up in the morning and to train for 8 hours a day without a carrot – that’s impossible. So what if the training isn’t going well, it happens. or the kid just got tired. Perhaps, it’s better not to insist on the repetitions and just give her that carrot, say: “Go, take a walk!” Let her rest, perhaps, she’ll forget about gymnastics. But then she’ll come back on her own and will understand that she’s the one who needs it, and not the country, the coach, or the club.”
The cutest thing I saw in Stuttgart was Andreas Toba was waiting to go on pommel horse and Nikita was waiting to go on floor, and Andreas turned around and waved and smiled at Nikita and he waved and smiled back. But then all the scoreboard screens went out so maybe being nice doesn't get you anywhere
I really feel like the All Around documentary is not capturing Yile’s uniqueness. I don’t know if it’s the editing or if she’s just shy with the camera around.
To compensate, here are some of the fun facts about her:
She’s the resident “tastemaker”. She’s responsible for Liu Tingting’s new hairstyle. Ting2 was reluctant at first, but Yile cut her own hair to show her “big sis Ting” how it would look and convinced her to do it.
She teaches the younger girls how to paint in her spare time and they have art sessions together.
She drew the piggy on Sun Wei’s arm band and the Vegeta on Xiao Ruoteng’s arm band. Zou Jingyuan has one with peppa pig on it.
She recommends books and tv shows to her teammates. She got Tang Xijing hooked on Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation) and the tv show based on it. (Tang is now a Xiao Zhan stan, let’s hope she wont be another DYL)
She picked Ting2′s current floor music.
At this point if there are so many complaints from the athletes about this type of lighting for competitions over and over again…. Maybe the FIG should do something about it? Maybe make sure that there’s no more show-like lighting?? You know… for safety
It took them 0.2 seconds to ban face paint, but dozens of athletes complaining that the lighting is affecting their performance and potentially unsafe and… silence.
The lighting makes no sense to me. In no other sport is there dramatic lighting. It’s a SPORT these are ATHLETES turn on the LIGHTS
I came all the way to Stuttgart to avoid hearing NbC's commentary and somehow I ended up next to the commentators' section and all I can hear is Tim's whiny voice so the universe mocks me I guess
Ellie is fourth but got injured and I hope it’s not too serious😥😥
and what happened to iorio ? i missed that ?
Iorio fell on vault and left holding her ankle 😬😬😬
I have to say I support pulling ting2 out of AA (there are conflicting rumors between coaches making the decision vs. the 2nd fall on ub aggravating her back injury, and I really have no inside information to confirm either), it doesn’t matter who made the decision, the objective fact is ting2, with her current issues, is unusable for tokyo, so it is better for tang to get some more experience.
My issue is, ting2′s issue are not new. Even her mental issues are not new. She’s always had the exact same problems (block on dty, 540 on ub, going over time on bb etc) for two years. It’s not like she fell on a random turn on beam or suddenly landed on her head in a tumbling pass and everyone was like “how did she manage to do that?!”. No, people literally knew the exact skills she struggles with, have been begging for her coaches to reconstruct her routine to one she can do consistently, and those issues were never dealt with or her routine wasn’t modified in the span of two years.
There are people watching training sessions in Stuttgart saying both Ting2 and Lsj struggled with UB, so I’m not making the argument that lsj should have went up on ub. I’m just questioning that given this information, should they not have had a plan B for ting2?
Again, as much as I love ting2, she’s just not a mentally tough gymnast, nor one that can think quickly on her feet in high-stress situations. I don’t want to make excuses for her, because she lost a world medal for her younger teammates who all performed their best and might not get another chance, that will likely end up affects their futures like school placements.
But here’s the thing, not everyone can be Aliya or Huang huidan, but imagine if a gymnast is already not mentally tough, struggles in training with a particular set, and then is told you are the captain of the team, you gotta go do that same set in tf since you managed to hit in quals by some stroke of luck.
You would think if you don’t have a lot of options (the ones in the running with better ub than ting2 has worse bb or fx, better fx has less good ub/bb etc), you would create an environment to best succeed for your headcase of a gymnast.
I just feel like this house of cards was two years in the making, even if ting2 has her own issues, she will likely shoulder all of the blame.
Tang🍬 will be replacing ting2 in the AA finals.
(btw, if you are a ting2 fan, you need to be mentally prepared that the upcoming bb finals, if not the tf, will be last you see of her internationally. She basically tjx-ed herself)
The arena playing the sound of a heart beating while Nikita did his high bar routine was peak Drama and i loved it
My mom was so pissed that Taipei didn't get that mysterious "Fujitsu" award... she was very upset.
Also is anyone else tired of the phrase gymt*rnet or is that just me
However I do really wonder what attendance and engagement will be like in the post-Simone era, if she's started a wave that will continue or if people will stop going because they only went to see her. But honestly if you don't capitalize on your market in the Simone era then when will you? There won't be a time like this again
The Stuttgart arena is tiny and idk how the FIG expects to grow the sport when they don't even have worlds in a place with enough seats for the demand... like do you know how supply and demand works
People may post more on twitter now but most of the gymnastics fan on there are completely insufferable and I've muted so many of them that my feed is barely longer than it is on tumblr so oh well i tried
LMAO Finally Nastia clarified that the Dutch girls do not write in their dairies right after their routines, they are in fact calculating their D-scores
They actually announced it in the arena too lmao
only true gym fans remember when simone was just tenxworldchampion
Rmember lilsgymmast 😏
