Spinning and Dancing

Mostly gymnastics stuff, but also random stuff I like, and occationally my day job studying stars leaks in

prolonged argentina humiliation ritual

[despazito]

spain was playing football argentina was playing wwe smackdown raw

[justthedismount]

do any of y'all know if there's a list anywhere of senior women who have already qualified for nationals?

[spinninganddancing]

i haven't seen an official list yet but

From https://www.reddit.com/r/Gymnastics/comments/1v0dn0c/the_completely_fair_and_reasonable_way_for_usag/ is probably close to correct?

"we all remember those perfect 10s" Sam it's the 20 year anniversary of open scoring. it's time to let it go.

[candycoateddoom]

jade won vault, skye won bars and beam, reese won floor and the all-around

[spinninganddancing]

i would suggest that this many ties on floor implies the judging was not so great tbh

[triple-to-stag]

just thinking about how American gymnastics used to have shilese jones in it :(

[persimnon]

what are some of these vaults man

[fuck-usag]

Hard agree. Why are we doing tucked vaults

[fuck-usag]

Oh we’re doing tucked vaults as our second vault so we can get a medal at classics.

[elenazamos]

while it's great to see Jade come second without her full difficulty back and for Skye Blakely to come first in bars and beam it's not great that that the top gymnasts of this quad are basically the same people as two Olympics ago

[spinninganddancing]

liking the different strategies in this handstand competition. The girls who were like no I'm much more stable in a split position. And then this little kid who was doing it properly and still beat everyone else.

[meanderingorange]

So Reese really showed up and had the competition of her life without making it onscreen once? Is this really how this is playing out?

[spinninganddancing]

Not that I want the usual nbc strategy of only showing the winner's routines, but the opposite where we see nothing from the... Winner? Medalist? Feels equally insane?

[fuck-usag]

Why is everyone and their mom wearing green?

[fuck-usag]

Literally either green or purple. Whats going on ladies. Is there a memo somewhere.

[triple-to-stag]

Agreed, it feels like a confusing MSU vs UofM flip for chip (purple) ncaa meet

[candycoateddoom]

jade carey ub - toe on + bhardwaj, van leeuwen, ezhova, maloney + geinger, full turn (late), 1/1 dlo with a tiny hop

[spinninganddancing]

Long term I'm worried that the full turn will be a harsh deduction trap. But other than that, she did a bars routine.

[elenazamos]

you know what, I had my doubts, and it might take a couple years for her to be fully back, and idk if that floor will be enough for nata this year, but this Ohashi comeback feels legit

[candycoateddoom]

katelyn ohashi fx - memmel turn, 1.5 + front full, wolf turn, switch half + tour jete half, split jump full, double pike DRILLED IT

considering she only did two passes i don't think she's gonna get that 28 she needs to qualify. even so, i'm so impressed with her.

[spinninganddancing]

i did yell for the stuck double pike though. Like even if she doesn't qualify I'm glad she competed

[elenazamos]

happy classics day idek whomst is competing or how anyone looks lmao

[elenazamos]

wait Katelyn Ohashi is competeing? I knew she was trying to make an elite comeback but I didn't know she had qualified here lol

[pouncequick]

Competing beam and floor, needs a 28 to qualify to Nationals.

[pouncequick]

I apologize, she needs a 26.8 for her 2 event score. My brain dropped a digit. So she needs a 13.6 on floor---credit for her full attempted difficulty and an 8.0 E

[fuck-usag]

Tshirt cannon.

Did they learn nothing from the Simpsons episode that Maude Simpson died?

[fuck-usag]

Some of these adults lifting their far too grown kids for the lion king cam? Good shit tbh watching a middle aged dad lift his teenager who’s almost as big as him

[pouncequick]

How many of these crowd games happen in other sports?

[spinninganddancing]

somehow I can't imagine them doing cookie-face at the Superbowl.
