I really want the podium to be Dalaloyan, Nigornyy, Ruoteng. I have a feeling it will not work out in that order.
JOE FRASER IS IN THE TOP ROTATION??! THAT’S AMAZING!!!! How wild would it be if he pulled off a miracle and got on the podium...
Dear John Roethlisberger, it is Ukraine, not THE Ukraine. Please get it right.
NICE JOE, THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL FLOOR!!!! WE LOVE TO SEE IT!!
Xiao’s twist at the end is so stunning. Just...absolutely beautiful.
ALL RIGHT BRODY, AMAZING POMMELS. YESSSS.
All I want is Nigornyy’s triple pike. Please let us have it in the floor final.
I do really miss Kenzo’s happy and bright smiling face and energy. He made everyone smile!
In case anyone was wondering, James Hall is still a precious cupcake.
I love when the men go up into handstands so smoothly during their pommel routines, it makes it so much more interesting. Sun Wei does it twice before his dismount and it’s stunning.
Nigornyy’s ability to “rescue” his routines, i.e. think on his feet to correct things, is amazing.
Daiki Hashimoto’s flairs are beautiful, but I wish he would point his toes during them. But that is also nitpicking to the extreme from a girl scared of cartwheels who is watching while eating popcorn so like, don’t listen to me.
DaLaLoYaN iS nOt WhErE hE eXpEcTeD tO bEeEeEeeee. Homeboy is competing 3 months after he tore his Achilles and has done each event TWICE ALREADY. SO HE IS DOING PRETTY DAMNED GOOD AND DESERVES ALL THE MEDALS IN THE WORLD.
So sad for Joe :(
Xiao’s swing flips into the cross on rings was flawless oh my goodness. I couldn’t even pull myself up onto the rings, let alone anywhere near that.
I love Nigornyy’s dismount from rings. He freaking flies, it’s wild.
Why does Hashimoto’s face look like he’s just sitting and chillin while doing rings? It’s wild.
I love Artur’s rings, I love Artur’s floor, I love Artur’s pommels, I love Artur’s vault, I love Artur’s parallel bars, and I love Artur’s high bar. He is an absolute gem and one of the absolute best in the world.
YES STUCK DRAGALESCU FOR NIKITAAAA WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
“I’m not quite sure why the man who had Achilles surgery 3 months ago and has done the all around twice already didn’t have the best landing on one of the events that can do the most damage to your ankles and knees”.
I WONDER THE FUCK WHY BRIDGET AND JOHN. I WONDER WHY.
I find the shoes that the Chinese gymnasts wear during vault so adorable and I don’t know why.
All I really want is for Sam to get an Olympic medal. Just one.
Oh Brody, this parallel bars is not going right for you and it makes me sad, but you’re still amazing and should feel amazing about yourself.
Hashimoto’s parallel bars oh my word. Oh. My. Word. That was beautiful.
ARTUR, YOUR PARALLEL BARS WERE STUNNING AND BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND AMAZING PERFECT 10. I LOVE YOU BBYYYYY.
Sun Wei baby, I hope your wrist is okay :/ Your p-bars were beautiful :)
Yesss Xiao, yesssss!!! Love your p-bars and it’s gotta be enough for you to keep the lead.
We love Nigornyy’s p-bars too, especially his one bar stuff; absolutely gorgeous. Everyone is doing so freaking well on p-bars and honestly there are still so many questions and it’s all up in the air and a gigantic nail biter!
James Hall’s landings were all flawless in his floor!!! Amazing job in the all around, love you!
THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND FLAWLESS AND FANTASTIC AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DARLING ARTUR!!! AMAZING HIGH BAR TO CAP OFF YOUR AMAZING ALL AROUND!!!!
JOE MOTHERFREAKING FRASER WHAT WAS THAT HIGH BAR ROUTINE OH MY GODDDD. FANTASTIC!!!!
Sun Wei’s one arm pirouette on high bar is gorgeoussss
YES STUCK LANDING XIAO, STUCK FREAKING LANDING TO CAP OFF AN AMAZING HIGH BAR ROUTINE AND AN EVEN BETTER ALL AROUND DAY OMGGGGG.
Oh Nikita, that is not going to be enough to win, BUT there’s no way you don’t medal and you’ve already done so well bby.
