me trying to explain the current gymnastics situation to non-gymfans:

[twoflipstwotwists]

someone just mentioned how the American Cup poster looks like Yul punched Morgi and I can see it lol

[sparklesandchalk]

Is it wrong to say "I knew it" about gabby because that insta message to aly seemed so out of character for me. like immediately struck me as internalized victim-blaming. I just wish I hadn't been right about that.

no, you’re not the only one who thought that. Also before/after Rio her mom had kind of mentioned like you don’t even know what she’s been through. initially I thought that had more to do with bullying, but once Nassar was accused I was concerned.

[odetonorahflatley]

I remembered that quote from her mom too, so I had to go dig it up ^ (x) it bothered me when I first read it and I never forgot it

[fuck-usag]

It’s just a rollercoaster of one ugly form flaw after another

[jordynslefteyebrow]

there’s really not one semi decent thing about this vault

[fuck-usag]

Apart from her determination to do the damn thing time and time again.

[jordynslefteyebrow]

nope not even that lmao

[odetonorahflatley]

When they replayed the slow motion on the big screen in the arena, I felt like the whole crowd groaned in disgust. It was great.

Some of you guys are pure evil jfc how do you watch a girl completely fall apart and ugly cry and think she “deserved it”? Where exactly is her fault about being put on the team?
