‪Khorkina congratulating Russian MAG and WAG teams with pics of herself and talking about how Aliya will never make another Olympics is very on brand of her ‬

[pikedstalder]

i… really can’t believe that quote about mustafina from vrod like wtf kind of behind the scenes conflict slash emotional manipulation is happening there. this is REALLY 2015 all over again huh 

[like-dudnik-in-1989]

it won’t happen, but I want Mustafina to write a tell-all book when she retires, from Kamalova’s departure to the 2015 crisis, including Alexandrov’s firing. 

[gymnasticsnews]

What happened?

[pikedstalder]

Mccusker is genuinely like a caricature of an ~elegant~ ~balletic~ gymnast. It's like god is playing a cruel joke on us all. You wanted Americans to be more ~artistic? Here's what you get.

[elisaminimeneghini]

I was thinking about this and I remembered something one of my ballet teachers said. She was all about the importance of telling “force” and “energy” apart.

Force is something you actively use to make your muscles move in order to achieve movement, much like a motor boat. Energy is something you let flow inside of you and let it steer you, like a sailboat. There’s no force in ballet, nothing gets accomplished by sheer strength, only by harnessing and releasing energy, which makes every movement fluid and graceful.

I think this is what some of us don’t like about Riley’s choreo, she goes too hard and uses too much force therefore ruining the flow of her performance.

[myexistingsituation]

this is a lovely analogy! i love riley, but i’m not a fan of mg elite at all. they all have this quality, i guess it’s just how lady botox coaches them to be

[ginamarie135]

Yes this is exactly how I feel! I’m so glad someone expressed it so accurately!

[tchaikovskaya]

idk when my social anxièté got cured or how that happened but im glad im not scared to ask retail workers for help or make professional phone calls anymore lol life is so much easier somehow

[gymnasticsnews]

So happy for you 😭

fun facts about russia’s biggest bitch that you probably aren’t aware of: she was the only one in the olympic village to send her competitors plush toys and gifts and wish them luck before events; she has never uttered a single negative phrase about anyone even when urged by the press; she’s carried the entire russian gymnastics team on her back since she rose to (and ultimately fell from) power in 2010, and most importantly — a mere 18 months before the olympics, she had a (usually) career-ending injury which gave her only half of the competition time everyone else did and while unable to compete, she still went to training with her team everyday to chalk the bars, say encouraging words and offer support; oh, and, she was STILL the single most decorated gymnast of the entire quad, while only being active for half of it;her first attempts at full routines after her injury were ON THE OLYMPIC FLOOR. where she won four medals. the most, out of any gymnast, male or female. when no one even thought she’d be recovered enough to claim any individual awards, whatsoever. yes, nbc, she truly is the diva monstrosity you make her out to be.
