Davay!

Alyssia, 29, Dutch. This is a blog about the Russian WAG team. I am not in any way affiliated with Russian Gymnastics Federation or the gymnasts themselves.

the way gym twitter would cancel anyone for praising Tom if the US team did well but we‘re all hanging out celebrating VRod like she’s the one who hit beam in TF… I love that.

(is it problematic to joke about considering VRod‘s track record of being a terrible person? yes. Do I care? no. Slay, VRod, slay.)

you know what’s really different about Vlada & Listy? unlike most gymnasts who have been like “silver is basically gold when Simone’s around” or “we’re all just fighting for second,” they’re not afraid to say they want to win, even if it seems ridiculous in the Simone era, and now they’re Olympic champions

of course Simone was not at her best today, but I think their fight and performance speak volumes about their mentality more than anything
