Wouldn't this count as a switch half to scale? Like with Nastia's skill?

hurd-the-nerd

It would in elite, but she dropped back to level 10, so she was submitting this into the JO code, which counts it as one skill.

Her son’s concern has influenced the 44-year-old’s decision to retire post-Tokyo.

Oksana Chusovitina stayed in gymnastics partly for her little boy, so it seems fitting that her son Alisher, now 20, is the one who has finally convinced her to step back.

Chusovitina, 44, is the doyenne of world gymnastics, a woman whose longevity has surpassed expectations, confounded statistics and delighted a legion of adult gymnasts. At her eighth Olympic Games this summer, Chusovitina will break her own record for most Olympics attended by a single gymnast. That she’s done it in an era where the sport has gotten progressively harder and globally more competitive only adds to her legend.

After three decades, five national teams and some tens of thousands of vaults, the end of the odyssey is in sight. Chusovitina has let it be known that Tokyo will be her final Olympics, though she has said the same before at past Games and then casually shown up at the next World Cup event. Others have focused on her age, on the fact that she’ll be the oldest gymnast in 100 years to walk the floor in Tokyo; Chusovitina herself generally shies away from such things, preferring to let her skills speak for themselves.

To Agence France Presse this week, however, she conceded that Alisher’s influence, namely his concern that she could injure herself, proved the deciding factor in the retirement that she always put off. “He worries about me a lot, that I might get a bad injury or fall,” Chusovitina said. She stayed in for the sake of her son; for his sake she will finally bow out.

I thought the skill couldn’t be named after her because it was too easy (a B skill). I’m confused.

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.”

Wow, she did an actually okay looking side somi. I’m impressed!

human sacrifice for a decent worlds qf stream

prayer circles don’t work

queenofstares

I nominate whomever thought "yeah, a wolf turn should really be follow by another wolf turn"

I would also like to suggest the person who thought that the best way to show uneven bars was a front camera instead of the side one.

skjdjs lets sacrifice SylviaP

vaultscoring

the thing about human sacrifices is.......... shouldn’t they be worth something? if we sacrifice these people we will get like a russian potato insta stream at most lol

maybe we should sacrifice the person who downgraded the yfull to 9.950 in NCAA. that’s got to be worth multiple years of good streams of quals right????? press F for respects

test12345667-deactivated2019092

Using beamscoring’s logic, I propose we sacrifice the person who pushed through the "front tumbling must be in an actual pass” code change in 2017.

whatacroseries

Ooh! Can we also sacrifice whoever decided to cap certain transitions from low bar to high bar (Komova I and Seitz) at an E?

vaultscoring

but that was a bad one! it's not a powerful sacrifice it's like if we sacrificed the person who looked at celine van garner's cat makeup and went "Hm. Gotta Ban That"

russian-stan

ok the problem here is we don’t know what the gymgods want.

so maybe we sacrifice whoever banned face paint (a bad one) first, and if qf day 1 has a shitty stream, we sacrifice aliya (the worst sacrifice imaginable) for HD, all-apparatus streams with no glitches, on screen scoring and non-geoblocked replays available forever.

vaultscoring

i would rather watch a 24/7 feed of mykayla skinner's life than ever sacrificing Crown Jewel Of Russian Gymnastics Aliya Mustafina. see the problem? we need to find the perfect balance!!

cut-catches

sacrifice mykayla skinner not for g good stream or anything but just to do it

hurd-the-nerd

But MyKayla Skinner is either hated or loved, so we either get no stream or a very good one.
